RCWD21 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm looking to put a snorkel on my 87 and I'm trying to figure out if anyone knows what size tubing fits over the end of the airbox for a TBI unit? I'm not too good with figuring out circumference from 2 or 3 measurements. What has everyone used with their snorkels at that joint in thè system?

Backpacker Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Use some string to measure it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpacker Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 If your sure about doing the snorkel, you can cut a small piece of the end off and take it shopping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCWD21 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Honestly I didn't even think about using string, I guess if I used a silicon coupler between the air box and whatever tubing I'm going to be using that would open my options up a bit more, I think k I've found what I need but size has been the final question. Thanks for the tip though, I've been juggling 4 different vehicles so my brain is on the fritz lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpacker Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Not sure about size. I've never made a snorkel before but I plan to pretty soon. Let me know how your ends up when your done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCWD21 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm going with the old style ARB had, it follows the contour of the A pillar to the roof. I go through a lot of tight places and a snorkel with a forward facing top hat would either get lost or broken off. Plus it's $170 vs $300+. I found it on ebay, just search d21 snorkel and you'll see what I'm going with. To me it looks a lot better than a smrun of the mill snorkel that you usually see.

Backpacker Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Right on. What I really want to do is fab an aluminum one to fit the contour of the A pillar like you said, but will be quite the challenge to my welding skills or lack of I should say.

RCWD21 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 It's an NPORA rig but I found it on google. That is what it looks like, I like the look much better than the other style with the top hat. An aluminum snorkel sounds nice but what about if you get it snagged on something? Wouldn't it end up tearing into other things and not flexing or snapping like plastic would? Sent from inside my potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
