Thread: EFI twin snorkel setup

i used to have twin snorkels when i had my 6.5 chev, i made a drivers side version of the ones Les Richmond Automotive do, went to the trouble of making a dummy one then had a mold made so i could get fibreglass ones made. May have some pics somewhere. Still got the mold and may even have a snorkel left over.

if you have pictures that would be really good, i bought all the alloy tubing about 18mths to 2yrs ago to make a twin snorkel setup for my old carby motor which was going to be easy but this is looking to be a little more diffcult

Hi I believe that 3" is fine, as the origianal "Holden" 253 4.2 ltr's air cleaner had a intake of about 1 3/4 - 2" if it was lucky in the round type air cleaner. So a stroked LR motor of the same size is still going to pull the same CFM and at 5000 rpm there lucky to move 350 CFM
BUT I fitted twin snorkel to my x 86 range rover just cause it looked tuff. ;-). Gary

Yeah im thinking the same with the tuff look too, it was on my plans for the old motor so i think i should stick to it and do it with this engine also, do you have any pics of the engine bay? or air cleaner setup
Thanks Tim

Hi Tim as mine was a 3.5 carby mod I just ran a pipe from either side and "tee'd it in to the front tube of the std air cleaner, but if yours is any thing like my 3.9 disco there isn't the room with the EFI but I will try to find some pic they will be on the LROCWA site.. Gary

yeah i did the 3.5 stroker conversion and 5spd out of an early disco 12mths ago but just getting around to finishing the little bits off, and ill have to look at setting up a twin outlet airbox and possibly move some stuff around like the disco washer bottle etc, as it was i didnt have enough room for my second battery under the bonnet because of the std airbox so thats in the cab now
