    Home made snorkel for series 1 disco

    [Hi guys, I have just signed up and trying to find my around this site, I am new to forums its easy to get lost. Any way just like to share my experiance with my home made snorkel, material of course is down pipe and assossiated fittings. I went the home made way because of cost. Well the improvement was so great I had to tell some one, I used to get 250k per tank at best now the best I have done is 308k fair improvement. I looked on the UK web sites for ideas but they used 65mm pipe I used 80mm and made the intake bigger on the air box to 80mm this has allowed the V8 to breath so much better. [

    that's good so far...

    I'm wondering how you're going to enter the guard and avoid conflicting with the corner of the bonnet

    looking forward to seeing your result

    me too, and can you show a shot of the black part of the ducting on the bit above the wheel?
    and what sort of tube is that?

    My tank is 60 useable liters of gas not much. the black hose is from Enzed,it is for the pressure side off a pump or what ever, it dosent have any wire in it so it could squash down a bit. It was a tight fit but I reaken it is better going big than not enough air.having trouble putting pics on here,there is one more in the original slid at the top of the page.

    Thanks mate, certainly is cheaper. I have just come back from a trip in the Snowys and up on the top it kept back firing and blow the crap out of the air box, I thought about it for awhile and I turned the snorkel head back ter front and this fixed the problem. If you know any body with this problem try that.
