Extreme raised air SSMMOOOTH

[makeitfit]

Ooohhh, want one! I think:augie
Does it actualy do anything then or just for effect?:nenau

 

[Adz]

Stops water going where it shouldnt :doh

Ideal for off roading :sly

Better air intake :thumbs

 

[makeitfit]

Persisting down.

I have today done about 60miles in torential downpoors and guess what?
The glove box is full of water:augie
Raised air took lots of water but it didnt get to the engine
The little drain hole I put in did it's job a treat:thumbs
Nowthen, can anyone suggest a way of getting rid of the drain water again rather than filling the glove box?:nenau
Didnt want to just stick a pipe through the floor incase it manages to suck water up in a venturi style!
Cheers

mine dont let any water in........:augie:augie:augie:augie






you need a bigger top/scoop on the roof that covers the hole

 

[makeitfit]

No "leaks" when parked, so top lid not the prob, it's 70mph into torrents of wet!
I put the hole there to be safe and its worked but want to get rid somehow out of the car:nenau

 

[extreme-4x4]

ok well that needs to drain into a vented water trap/bottle

vented back up yo the roof via a hose




that way if the car drowns its still a sealed unit up to the roof

 

[makeitfit]

:thumbs
Just thought , I can also recycle it onto the intercooler :thumbs
Bottle it is then, saves the glove box becoming a wash basin:lol

thing is though chaps, check plenty of the snorkels out there - a lot of them face, wait for it...BACKWARDS!!! I know you think you're getting a ram-air effect, but I'd bet money on it that you ain't....:augie

Borroks
Nearly blew my wig off when I was testing it.I had the slot cut in de roof before I plumbed it in and it most def. ramed it in
I used to turn my snorkel top round when off road to stop it catching trees n that.
However on road it does ram it in, oh and the wet:lol

I'm not disputing it will try and force air in - what I'm saying is you can only cram a finite amount of atmosphere into those little cylinders and I suggest the Law of Diminishing Returns comes into play fairly quickly, i.e. you can ram what you like in but it ain't gonna get gobbled....but I'll let an eggspurt shoot me down......

so where would be the best place to put a dump valve on a t2, i fancy one on the truck.:naughty

 

[makeitfit]

I dont know I'm afraid:augie
I was told on here you cant...............but since found plenty who say you can:nenau
Adz reckons his mate has one I'll ask him at the weekend:thumbs

 

[tezzer]

ok, thanks pete.:thumb2

 

[makeitfit]

Ah, I remember now
You can fit one if you want a bit of noise:augie but it doesn't give you any benefit at our sort of speeds
Better spending the money on a bigger turbo :naughty
Deisel dump valve about £130 min
T28 turbo £166

this looks fantastic mate love it i think im gonna make one based off this but id like it to sick up from the roof as i think water and mud may get inside and i don,t like the sound of that nice work mate

regards brian :thumb2

would the bit of extra air forced in help make up for the restrictions of the very long intake route with lots of bends?

I got it done too & it doesnt get anything other than air through it :thumbs

Before doing it, have a look at makeitfit's n mine :thumbs

thanks mate ive had a good look at them and love the idea and the way you have done them i will be doing it just not sure if it will be it the same way yet

Petes (makeitfit) is the quitest & Colins (extreme-4x4) is quite too, just hear the turbo whistle :sly & mine is well loud due to using alloy tubing not plastic & rubber pipe as the other two plus mine is completely stripped as it is going to end up as a off road toy only :sly :naughty :thumbs

 

[extreme-4x4]

smooth tube is the way forward, i did mine with flexi coiled hose, its good and no rain in, well no more that if it were standard. pete (makitfit) used guttering hence the smooth and its a little quieter. but we are not talking loud in either meathods.
i suppose at 3500 rpm it sounds like the heater fan on number 3. so really not noisy.
