Title: Looking for a snorkel for 2000 Tracker?
Post by: BigBamBoo on November 04, 2015, 06:03:35 PM

I posted awhile back looking for a snorkel for my 2000 Tracker. But I never did get much input. So nice again, I am sling for help in finding one...if they exist.

Thanks

If you're looking for a snorkel specifically for that vehicle, I believe you'll have to import it yourself, your options are ...

OGZ in Brazil - http://www.ogz.com.br/ (http://www.ogz.com.br/)
FTS in Taiwan - http://www.fts4x4.com/en/products/?method=listing&sid=185 (http://www.fts4x4.com/en/products/?method=listing&sid=185)

You can also get the FTS snorkel out of Australia.

Now if you're willing to experiment some, the snorkel for the 97~05 gasoline engine Toyota Hilux (or it's Tacoma equivalent) can supposedly be made to work quite well, some folk say it fits like it was made for the vehicle, others disagree.

Chinese copies of the Hilux/Tacoma snorkel are usually available on ebay ...

If you go the Hilux snorkel route I'd be interested in seeing pictures.

Thanks for the links. I have emailed FTS but have not received a reply.

Take care

i have an 03 vitara 2.0L with LH drive and RH airbox (canadian) and i have been planning and considering making a DIY snorkel from 2.5"-3" stainless steel exhaust tubing- or ABS/PCV pipe - my plan uses an extra T-joint under the RH fender for a gravity p-trap for catching and draining rain or excess water.  i have not made one yet but it will be custom and affordable - utilizing the factory airbox

- my plan uses an extra T-joint under the RH fender for a gravity p-trap for catching and draining rain or excess water.

I'd be interested in seeing a sketch of this "gravity p-trap" concept - P traps are usually used to allow the free flow of water whilst preventing air flow, and not the other way around.

One of my Suzukis did have a "P trap" shaped contraption in the RH fender, which I believe was intended to separate excess water from the intake air stream, but it actually operated on centrifugal force rather than being a "P trap" and there was nothing to prevent water from being drawn in via the "drain".
