Looking to see if ne one has put a home made snorkel on a 95 style kick. And want to know the effectiveness . How you did what tools and parts needed. THANKS
-
Yes i'm also intersted to see some snorckel ,but maybe more complex than some abs pipe and a k&n on the top
-
Eventually I would like to come up with one that will allow for a fold down windshield. Haven't really gotten close enough with the rig to figure that one out tho.
I wonder... if you fill PVC/ABS with play sand/water slurry and heat it up with a torch... could you get nice smooth bends out of it? I bet it would still wrinkle the inside of the angles. I can get pretty close to perfect on my 12 ton tubing bender like this with DOM tube. I just dont have large enough sizes for what an intake pipe would need.
-
Use a heat gun NOT A TORCH.....The syuff likes to burn...Boxcar...
-
You can use sand inside thin wall aluminum pipe(type used by the import tuners for cold air intakes) to maintain the profile for a fairly tight turn.

I just recently did a snorkel kit on my 95 Tracker.
I went to a salvage yard and got about 3 cold air intake kits off of Import cars, I cut and linked them all together.
I am in the final stages of mounting it all up, and painting it.
I could post some pictures if you would like.

there are places like this where you can buy all the tubing and connectors you need to fab one up...

A better plastic would be the grey electrical conduit. I have used heat guns and my pipe bender to get some very nice smooth bends for electrical conduit that is visible and goes around corners etc(cheaper than buying pre curved pieces and splicing them)

Good idea! I will def. be staying away from having 15 couplings/splices.

I recently saw a pretty good one that a guy made, wish I would have taken a picture so I could post it up...
It was made entirely of gray PCV electrical conduit, big stuff. He used a 90deg 'pull box' to make the penetration into the bodywork at the fender, it was pretty low-buck and inventive.

Late reply, anyhow 2" is restrictive as I noticed on a few local hills. Want to redo it but in 2.5" or 3" steel probably so I can weld it.
