Pondering snorkels...

[The Lovely Boyo]

What's the problem??

Water injection ups the power, doesn't it!!

Mid Wales for two days and oh, boy even by Welsh standards = WET

So, forgive me for sounding thick, but I can't see the difference (normal wet driving) between having a snork or not!

Your engine needs air , and yes, wet air oh errr missus - gives us all a bit of extra.....

Am I missing something?

A few more brain cells after a visit to Malvern.

I'm with you on that one. I can't see there being any difference between wet air going in a snorkel and wet air going in an intake. We'd all be in a lot of trouble if a little bit of rain was going to cause a problem. Especially with a turbo there, I would have thought it was all evaporated by the time it got near anything that goes bang anyway. Which reminds me, I once had an idea that I could run my 2.4 on veg, throw a potato in the turbo and get chips out of the exhaust. Has anyone tried this?

My parents used to have a Citroen CX. They have the air intakes on the bottom of the engine. My mum drove it through a deep puddle once .

Yeah I guess your right. Any small amount of water has to face several hundred degrees temps once it gets near the turbo. Hush my mouth!

Snorkel prices anyone?

Snorkel prices anyone?

About £150. Try Frog's Island.

Malvern was great - The Nags Head oh that beer (I really liked the coriander flavoured one)

And the curry house was top notch.

Yeah we enjoyed (from what I can remember)
