Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

I have a magnum x, along with its 17mm bing ( that leaks like a stuck pig but that i can fix i hope )

anyway i always wanted to chuck the top end on my bone stock magnum to keep it kinda stock but maybe break 35 lol.

Anwho i just bought a spare magnum x top end without the manifold

im gonna chuck it on the stock magnum and see what happens.

i could use the magnum x intake if i needed too..but i dont really wanna take it apart and then id be stuck to the 17mm leaky bing, and im not even sure if the manifold will fit on the magnum big frame..

anyone ever run one of these? Ideas for a manifold? Carb? Id love to run a delorto..

?

i would loveeeeeee to take the intake off your hands.

its the same cylinder. its the intake/carb that makes the power difference.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

is the magnum x topend even any different than a regular magnum cylinder? i though the only different was the 17bing and intake, as far as the topend goes.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

the intake diameter is bigger i think and the spacing is different on the studs on the intake. I wonder if a treats 19mm malossi intake would work. Then i could run a phbh...

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

yeah, intake is bigger and olt location is different

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

ah, i guess that makes sense. without a bigger intake port, that carb would be kinds useless.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

i can tell by looking at my magnum x that the intake is wider and the spacing is bigger, which is why i dont wanna have to rob the intake off it if i dont have too, cuase i cannot bolt up a 14mm intake to the magnum x.

Anybody use any other intake?

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

i think stock or home made is going to be the only way to roll

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

maybe you can rubber mount a 17mm phbg to the magnum intake? im not sure what size the spigot is on a 17dell, though.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

yeah i might just run the magnum x intake and bing, its not like i ride the frigging thing.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

Magnum X intake and rubber mount dellorto would work pretty well.

agreed.

I'm not sure the placement of the bing on the bendy intake would work on a maxi/magnum frame. You'd probably have to point it forwards.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

Wow that perfect.

did you have to cut the magnum x intake to do that in the above pic? Is that a 17mm carb or a 19?

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

NO, no cutting was required. I believe that was my 19mm carb. A bit big, but thats what I had lying around. It worked really well on my e50 (not so well on za50 for some reason). I did 50 with a korado top end and an 8p.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

that totally cool. I wanna be able to put the intake back on the real magnum x i have if i need too, and want to try this other magnum x top end on the kinda reliable stock magnum. Perhaps a 17 phbh would be the hot tip.

yea, that would be nice. I don't think you'd notice a huge difference between 17 and 19 though. Raise and widen your exhaust for maximum awesomeness.

Re: Magnum X Top end and intakes/carbs

i guess you have a point.

The one difference i would notice is that i HAVE a 19mm sitting around lol so that might affect my decision. Im gonna try it with the reg bing 17 and see what its like then maybe see about the 19. The 19 is a clamp on so it might take some doing.
