Orgasmic Farmer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Of course if you are worried about restricting the air flow you could always make up a 'Carlos Fandango' snorkel as we did recently :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFILandRover Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I decided id better get round to putting in a snorkel in the rangerover (stock intake location is stupid), so I looked around the garage. I found; A box of pvc fittings Some pvc pipe some commodore intake bits a $100 blue flexi intake hose (from supercheap 6 months ago) and an old patrol carb air intake. To start with, I started thinking about how I was going to do the underbonnet bit. I already knew where the snorkel would be feeding out. The original plan was to go and get another intake hose (black one), but supercheap didnt have any. THere were also not enough pvc bends or right size pipe, so I started lining up the commodore bits. I used a 45 degree bend to come out from between the carbs, then onto a couple of commodore intake bits, then onto a bit of pvc pipe, which connected to the blue flexi. The flexi was then fed through teh panel under the windscreen and a hole was cut in the panel. It was then fedout, and then the bit of patrol intake pipe with the bend was added onto the end. It is airtight, and I still need to paint the top bit to make it look a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Looks tidy Russ. you just need a 45degree bend instead of a 90? PS... sent your DVD's off today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
