So I p/u the package, and started to get things organized. I will be laying out the back plates for drilling this week, and finish them next weekend. The plan is to ship the early 750 ones 1st, then the 550's, then the 750 PD ones. So I will contact all those who have a deposit to finalize shipping cost & payment.

Out of the box. All the filters are wrapped, and include an instruction sheet. They even got their own ITG Megaflow P/N.

Oiling Instructions

Cleaning Instructions

I mentioned in an earlier post that things were delayed because of a Renault F1 order, check out the packing tape below the bolts.

It also seems like Terry has finally rec'd his jet drills, and is ready to do a little testing with the K1. I will be sending him one of the 'production' 750 filters; however this will not change any results he gets now.

You should probably read the whole thread.....
The answer to your question is yes, more detail in the thread. One thing, generally if you improve airflow you will have to rejet....If you improve exhaust gas flow you should rejet.....

Awesome about the customs clearing (I laughed when you were happy they cleared customs, I was like: "are the pods made of cocaine or something?!" If so, they will increase my power until I needs a bigger dose

) Anyways, I am still on the fence. I personally love the way they look, would go for yellow boots, but await further tests. Patiently mind you. I'm not rushing or complaining, I completely understand all the hindrances.

For what its worth, if for some reason the time comes to order and receive the product before any real tests are performed then I will buy a set. I've already been told idle and wot are not too much a change which means I can deal with what ever jetting, needling, and praying to multiple god issues arise. I recently picked up another bike (Harley) so I'm not in too much a rush. (Please no flaming for the HD e.e)

I look forward to the Tin-Pod system. (Hey, I wanted to name it too. TinTop=tinpod)

Sign me up for yellow boots please =D

Hmmmm, i'm sure Tintop will put you on the end of the list for calling them "pods', These are "anti pods".......

Pods are a dirty word round here......

somebody already called it the veloci-pod and didnt get in trouble! Ill add mine to the list QUAD-POD

odiewan · « **Reply #462 on:** March 30, 2011, 09:52:43 AM »

How about the TT-Pod? Or about Veloci-TT?

scroggins5000 · « **Reply #463 on:** March 30, 2011, 10:53:31 AM »

I think you should name them "Escape Pods", since they give you freedom from using traditional pod filters.

Grnrngr · « **Reply #464 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:14:27 AM »

They're more than just filters tho, they're custom velocity stacks....improved performance of the carburator independant of the filter design...
" TTs Carburation and Filtration Enhancement" ....CAFE......

I'd just like to call mine "Paid for and on the bike". Kind of a catchy name, don'tcha think?

I like that one.

Well I had a "false start" last weekend with wiring issues (as yet unresolved, but I think I've worked it out now) and flat gas, but I'm chomping at the bit to get home from work today, it's a nice sunny Friday afternoon, so I'm gonna fit my headlight, dump the old fuel outta the bowls and fit a set of 140 mains and (hopefully) go for a ride first up tomorrow morning to test Brians "Dynamic Flow Filter" system, woohoo!

Tintop · « **Reply #469 on:** April 01, 2011, 07:54:08 PM »

Glad you've got some warm weather Terry, we just got our 1st day over 10C.

Sounds like your ready to have some fun.

As for a name, ITG calls it a Megaflow, which is a good description of what it does.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #472 on:** April 01, 2011, 11:51:27 PM »

Yep, looks good, but I'm not sure if I like the idea of using a set screw to secure the alloy "connectors" (not stacks, so performance will be questionable) to the carbs, and there's no mention of what filter (if any) is used? Another option though, which is always a good thing. Cheers, Terry.

No worries Brian, it's a pity there are about a squillion other "Megaflow" brand products out there, from toilets to hotwater systems (I just did a quick google search) so you won't be able to use the name outside of this forum, but "Megaflow" does sound good, for sure.

Yesterday I got my blinkers blinking and gave up on my headlight for the time being. I'd drilled some jets to 140 the previous evening and once I'd replaced my defective petcock, I fired it up. It's running way too rich, ragged idle and black smoke, but I did take it for a ride anyway. It was horrible around town and stalled a couple of time when the plugs fouled at the lights. Out on the open road it was better, and revved quite freely to and beyond redline, but today I'll drill another set to 130 and see how it goes. Hopefully, the 130's will be very close to spot on. Cheers, Terry.
