DIY snorkel

[TobyJug]

Need a hole in your bonnet to fit the chimney through????

Oh yesss...

hehe going to cut through when the little chimney gets here
Just gonna cut it to size I think and then put a rubber in and weld it from underneath with a little bracket...

That shud be fine then....

Can't wait..

Just gotta sort myself out now and try and get to urs..

£11.50 that whole thing cost

that is pretty good..
Mine will have cost about £20 when done..

What about this idea? Of course if the scoop was located further back on the hood.... ie just before the windscreen near the shockmount.

Exactly, thats all you need.
I've always thought that door mirror height is plenty high enough for a snorkel.

surley the scoop would be facing the other way. a bit of a wave up the bonnet and its all over

Having the scoop facing aft would have a detremental effect on your engine's aspiration, as the airflow over the scoop would create a negative pressure area at the opening, which would try to suck air out of your airbox....

Not a good idea IMHO

At slow speeds it would most likely do nothing at all... but on the road it would literally be working against your turbo

Ehhhhhh
have u red what the thread is about?
I am not making an airflow...
I am making a snorkel for going through deep-ish water....

Surely if I attach the air intake to a scoop like that I can throw the surf away after the first wave over the bonnet....

He was just referring to the getting the intake higher point, not the snorkel type point.
