jumping jack Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi folks Having nearly drowned my 110 on Saturday I think it's time for a snorkel. I've king cabed it and I'm wondering about the feasibility of running it up the rear of the cab (drivers side as the exhaust runs up the passengers). It's bound to have been done before (what hasn't), so the questions are: Has anybody got any pictures? How would you route it? Will such a long length of draw / travel of air be a problem? Thanks.

LandyManLuke Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The first question is, which engine? If it's a 300tdi, or at least a 300tdi turbo, it's relatively easy. Has anybody got any pictures? Yes, some were posted recently. struggling to find them right now though.... How would you route it? The 300tdi turbo conveniently points backwards, so you can come straight through the bulkhead, or drop down along the gearbox if you wish. It's going to be on the passenger's side though Will such a long length of draw / travel of air be a problem? Not if you use a decent diameter. 2.5" - 3" diameter seems to be ok.

Thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 example of a through cab snorkel. Click its a 300tdi turbo on a 200tdi but really doesnt make a difference apart from the turbo inlet is closer to the bulkhead. Im currently doing this conversion to my car...
