Snorkels

Just going to dig this thread up to add some more info and ask for more again.

I was on the APT website drooling all over their awesome stuff when I spotted a 4" mandrel bent stainless snorkel in olive drab made especially for the Perentie!

Link: APT Fabrication for Land Rover parts - APT Perentie Snorkel | Perentie

I would be all over this if it didn't cost the price of the winch I want.

Does anyone have one and would like to provide detailed photographs?

Currently planning snorkel install (To coincide with turbo install - td04-19t, ~20psi, possibly intercooled)

I currently have one of these sitting around; 4x4 Replacement Snorkel Head 88mm 3 5 Inch Mushroom Removable Mesh DRY Intake | eBay

Current idea for simple install; 3.5" stainless pipe on windscreen, then corrugated hosing from tube, through wing vent all the way to air filter intake, example;

However also considering 3" - unsure if going down to 3" would cause issues? (if going down to 3" would probably order a donaldson pre-cleaner head)

another option would be to custom fabricate a clone of the 6x6 wingtop snorkel out of fibreglass, I do prefer the idea of the pre-cleaner however ...

How I did my Isuzu 3.5" aluminium .With the precleaner head it trips the restriction indicator within a few Ks but never with the scoop type head .I use either depending on conditions The precleaner type possibly OK with 3.9 L

You made that? Man that is nice!

You should see the rest of his work :)
I'd just be sticking some SS pipe (painted, it's not a GQ patrol) up the pillar, with a suitable head.
Done.

I am planning to do the same in stainless (have all the bits, just need to weld it up). However I will probably paint it black also...

Ok digging this up, again.

I had a very bad close call last Saturday, water was nearly in my gumboots! There was also a lot in the air filter and everything else important.

I have a 4" Snorkel head I have been meaning to do something with, but since last weekend I feel I need to sort it out sooner rather then later and I was looking at the Safari Snorkel for the County V8.

Would this be big enough for the 4BD1? I can't get anyone to confirm the diameter of it.

Any other suggestions?


Cheers,

BadCo

Hey Badco,

I've got a 300tdi safari snorkel on my perentie, it works well. I should know the diameters of all the ducring off the top of my head but sadly ive forgotten. Ill get back to you on that if need be.

Anyway by my logic, the smallest ID of the air intake would be located just before the start of the manifold- where the red vaccuum lines joins to in this picture. So as long as its at least the same size as this (2.5 inch ish?) You wont be creating any restrictions.

Cheers

Don't forget to take into account you are extending the intake piping as well, so there will be losses in there too.

It will be great if you could post the diameters of the intake and outlet.


Cheers,

BadCo.

I won't be home till sunday, but ill take some notes when I get into the shed then.

Ive also got a v8, so out of interest I'll measure that up too.

Cheers
