The way the air intake is run, it runs straight to the front passengers corner & incroches on the area I am talking about.

If anyone has the V8 with a snorkel fitted I would like to see a piccy of how it hooks up.
Like wise if anyone has fitted the 2nd battery & has a piccy that would also be great.

The spot on the fire wall I think relates to the DII, thats were I had mine.

Gidget, this is a pic of my snorkel setup which is the only way to do it if you want the air coming in the front of the air can, Safari setup has the air coming in the side of the can and directly onto a 4" circle on the side of the air filter, if you or anyone else would like full details of how I did it post a message here and I will respond, Regards Frank.

Thanks mate,, I see what you mean now,, they cut a new hole in the side of the air box & attatch it like that for the pre 94 model. & they must cap the end intack off. Double thanks as I was told safari didn't do a snorkel for these.

So I will proceed to cut the intake horn off for now & fit 2nd battery.

A huge thanks to everyone's help & patience
I will hopefully post pics of a completed job by Monday.

It would be better for the filter if the air comes in the end rather than in the side I geuss,, even distrabution of crap on the filter.

did you not post exactly the same question (s) in 2004 ???

Any possibility of a few more piccies of your set up? I've got the same engine and want a snorkle eventually.

Your set up would also give you a "Cold Air Induction" cold air pick up........taking air from other than inside the hot under bonnet area and behind/to side of hot radiator......this would give you better breathing and a bit more "free" power.

Have you any pics of just a little bit further forward?

What is that join from the Air Filter Housing to inner guard made up from?

If you are talking to me,, I most likely did,, but that would have been for the D2.
Like I said earlier or in another thread , I ask allot of questions & then make a dicision armed with all this information the kind people have left me.

Do you remember me asking questions ?? or have you been checking up on me ...lol....

If they ever put a limit on the amount of questions you can ask around here I am in deep trouble .

Gidget, I bought my original snorkel (fitted to prev. 93 Disco) from a mob in SA called Goannawhere ( or something like that) 08 83690033 for under $300. They always have a 2 page ad in most 4WD magazines such as 4WD Monthly. The Disco in the shot has the Safari outside pipe (on the guard) and snorkel, but the air filter can and pipe fittings are off the 1st Disco, because the Safari one on this Disco was transferred to the first Disco when I sold it. Does that make sense? To do this you will need a short piece of Flexible hose to join the MAF to the plenum throttle body, or a piece of Turbo air hose with a bend (30 to 45 degrees) and szed to fit the 2 different sizes of the MAF and the Throttle Body, (American Autos in Homebush Sydney have them or any decent Speed Equip. shop), you will also need to remove the bolts from the (giant) water bottle and just let it sit here, although a bit closer to the firewall than usual, if you or anyone else wants detail Pics of the front of the the air filter can, let me know. No there hasn't been any problems with the water bottle, regards Frank.
