Super cheap Disco 1 200tdi snokel????
boss:
first time i did it i used the airbox from a 300defender, think the disco 200 is very similar. then i ditched that and had the pipe come straight out of the turbo and have the filter on top. all made from 3" alli tube and sillicone hose, airflow isnt so bad atall.......with a snorkle it hasto go through 2 or 3 90* bends and a 45* very little difference with the thru cab snorkle. and is ram air what happens when offroad? never really going more than 20 and at that speed there isnt too much to say for ram air effect.
also rich, if its an offroad toy and its not likely to be nicked i would lose the rear window area! the cabs get hot, quick! and you can hear nothing from the outside.
worth ditching it just to allow you to hear instructions being shouted at you. just a thought.....

trouble is with loseing the back window, i do drive it around a bit and park it in town, on the Isle of Man it isnt too much of a worry but i have driven accross to a few events and going on hols. it is a opening side window from a 110 so when it does get warm i can open it to get a bit of ventulation.
Snokel through the cab looks good, like i said that could be a job for the future but might do the drain pipe snokel to get it done for now.
discorich:
right done it, well i have bought the bits and started to work but just got rained off. used previously mentioned series 3 air flexy pipe to come from the airbox into the wing. trouble was that the angles i got were not quite right so they are going back to B&Q tommorow. need a slightly larger angled one that matches the angle of the windscreen. Any clues which one i need?
Range Rover Blues:
Just remember that every metre of pipe, every bend, gets in the way of sucking loads of air into the engine. The air resistance of even the shortest snorkel will create 10 times the pressure drop that the so-called "ram air" effect creates pressure rise, ie the net drop being about 9 times.

Hi this is the home made snorkel on my Hilux,made from drain pipe,a kn filter from the bargain bucket at Halfords and some washing machine flexy pipe.
