Boost bottles

Do boost bottles actually work or are they a waste of time

waste of time- get a juice box instead- more effective.

Total and utter waste of time, a juice box isn't much cop either especially not at the price they are :sad6:

yeah waste of time mate, just a gimmic, they clainm to put more air into the engine at high revs but it doesnt do anyfin, all it is is a bottle of air.

I reckon most arn't worth the money although they probably do work.

Theres a post on a usa minimoto site that gave a good tutorial on how to make one from scratch for less than a fiver!!

The site is : http://www.sportbikes.ws/showthread....4&page=1&pp=15

I think the total volume has to equal the cylinder size E.G. on a 49cc cag the boost bottle and the volume of the hosing has to be close to 49cc.

Read-up on it and make one!

The easiest way is to make one at home. If it doesn't work it's only cost you a fiver for the parts so were all winners!!

The boost bottles do work, or at least the concertina variety do because they vary in volume depending on engine speed and vaccum etc.
The fixed variety like the Juice box, need to be perfectly tuned to the engine and carb set up or as someone said, you will just be sucking in air.

Owwww, i thought it was a fair comment we all have our own views etc. and your opinion was not ask for!

pilsbury · 01-02-2005, 07:45 PM

touche! no worries mate

parky · 01-02-2005, 08:08 PM

Does the bottle cocertina in and out by itself under the stroke of the engine or do minimoto riders make good accordian players then?

C_H · 02-02-2005, 03:35 PM

ok, Same as

boost bottles on these motors dont work well. For a non reed valve motor like the midbikes its a good upgrade

Im sorry, to disopoint you all but they do work, I race cags' and my fellow cags have boost bottles and the past me out - My bike is fully done hi compressioned , ported everything!!!

Yet the normal engien with boost bottles is a bit faster.

So for those idots who say they don't work ur idiots - if they didnt work it would be illigal so dont assume if u have no history. Or do not know,

Go for it and buy em
