Thread: Lucky 8's Project P38

It does look really good!
Have you found the larger tires now scrub on the liner? Do you have bumpstop extensions at all?

Also the slightly larger air box doesn't seem to have the internal trumpet in the air box.

I really like the idea, and it looks to be a genuine snorkel, not an rai - but as Paul has said before, that depends wholly on the installation.

I'm a tad concerned about non laminar flow increasing intake restriction this increasing fuel use.

HI

This looks great well done!

I see the aulro engineering squad are all over it immediately

I too think we could use some smoother tubing "under the fender"

Any idea on costs ?

Hi

Or fibreglass

Actually, you can't. I tried that years ago on my RRC snorkel and the ducting collapsed under acceleration. It will hold up with the airflow at idle but not when the engine is being called upon to deliver power. I had to go to a reinforced flexible duct, too. I ended up using 75mm Calor ducting from Pirtek.

Wasn't thinking the flexible stuff. Rather the rigid stuff.

Hi

Didn't someone mention PVC Downpipe? The rectangular section may work
