Thread: Teaser of the Week!

I thought about the square downpipe stuff but that is still 65mm high so it's probably no use.

I await with interest in the outcome of your adventures

Out of curiosity, how do you plan on getting a hose long enough to go through the guard onto the airbox trumpet? It appears like 150-200mm distance but could be wrong.

This style looks too short, but hope there are angled ones with one side of the bend longer.

Edit: Otherwise I guess a short length of 75mm PVC pipe with a straight bit of silicone tube to mate to the trumpet.

Tomorrow i will get some 75mm & precut to correct length required to clear highest point of inner liner then test fit to ensure no interference!

Here's hoping

Looks like just the job. Ideal. Interested to see if it will fit.

Good onya Martin. Genius!

Hi

You could easily use some of the silicone intake ducting instead of silicone elbows

Well progress has been made - Over the weekend Sam & myself started to pull apart the Fantom to see how my idea was going to work. Well with a bit of measuring heating & teasing we manipulated some 75mm pvc pipe into a form that allows just enough clearance to squeeze between chassis & inner liner & mudgaurd.

But the best thing I discovered, was that the early P38's are a breeze to connect into airbox ( see photo's). I purchased a 75mm x90degree Silicone bend from Supercheap cheap for $25 and it fits into airbox & onto pipe perfectly, just need to clamp & seal to pipe then push into air inlet in chassis through (directly ) to airbox & silicone seal both ends (airbox & chassis ) for water tight seal.
Then simply fit another 90 deg silicone bend to other end to slide onto 75mm snorkel pipe.

I plan to see local exhaust bloke tomorrow to get a price on 75mm s/steel pipe mandrel bent with 2x tabs welded on to fix to a pillar.
ps. If anyone has done this could they give me an idea of what cost I should expect. Even better if anyone knows a friendly exhaust person in Melbourne's West that I should talk to that can do this would be good.

If anyone is interested I will ask for qty price on pipe & bending/welding
see if it helps cut cost even further.

Lastly I have a Safari snorkel top inlet which will be fitted to pipe to finish off.
Will update once I have more details.

There's more!

Nice progress and findings there. Assuming the stainless pipe and bending, pvc pipe and $50 worth of fittings will come in at quite a reasonable price. Following with great interest.

Would also consider jumping on the pipe bending wagon if plenty of others do as well, to validate the shipping to Sydney for me.
