jj big shoe Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'll beat him to it. :oops: This is just a thought, so feel free to slam it...Has anyone considered the idea of running it on the inside? I haven't researched the complications, but it seems like you could punch a hole in the appropriate place and run it on the inside of the A-pillar and out the roof with a rear-facing scoop (like from a turbo 300zx). You could remove the windshield and gain access to the dash in order to plumb the snorkle. Since it's on the inside and protected, you could use a hose from a wet-vac or something instead of non-plyable pipe and visibility wouldn't be any more of an issue than if you installed a roll cage.

Vsicks Pathy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I am being baited! I am doing my best to resist. Trying! Tryi..... Tryin......... Try...........T............. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was going through their mind? Is that not the most horrid thing you have ever seen? Where's the tap? The drains there but the tap is missing. I seriously can not begin to say how stupid that looks. Words can not explain my thoughts on that. Well they can, but it's not words we want to hear.

I will not touch this one at all. I would not know where to begin. Did you give any thought to what you just suggested at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLlegal Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 well I Think when they built it it was primarily just for function not form am i right? second I think running it in the inside might be a good Idea I mean more complicated but look better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) I will not touch this one at all. I would not know where to begin. Did you give any thought to what you just suggested at all? Very little. As I said, it was just a thought. What are your thoughts other than probably being more trouble than its worth? You have to admit it would at least LOOK better than these others (as long as you used something better than a wet-vac hose).

Slick Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 First thing.. you'd have to be really careful that the snorkel didn't leak where it exits the roof... my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patzx300 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 There is not enough space in the A-pillar for any kind of snorkel for the volume of air needed for the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Seems like he didn't need to cut the top part out by the windshield... I'm curious what is securing it to the A pillar ? That must rattle or flop a bit when driving. Hey, if it works, it works. I'd prefer something 'cleaner' looking, but it's his truck to do with as he pleases.

Animal Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Least he could have done was use chrome. How about running the exhaust through one of those new ionic breeze things, you know, the one that converts smog and ozone into oxygen, then back to the intake? :X -alcohol- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 There is not enough space in the A-pillar for any kind of snorkel for the volume of air needed for the engine. Correct. The plan would call for removal of the trim piece and fabbing up something that would run along the face of the A-pillar, not inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLApathy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 who cares what it looks like, if its going to save him/me from a hydro locked engine or a blown rod screw it, and if your worried about the resale value go the the freaking junkyard and buy one, they cost 39 dollars here, thats alot less than a 200+ dollar snorkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pathy91 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Newbie or not, he created it out of neccesity. Isn't that the mother on invention? He had alrady hydrolocked the motor and had to be towed 150 miles home. I applaud his low cost efforts. He has little funds and will do whatever neccesary to get back out there and Wheel his Pathy. Maybe some of you "Thousand Post Veterans" can think back to the day when you felt like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vsicks Pathy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I posted a reply GG. You didn't tell me he also hacked into his inner guard support too. You have to question peoples stupidity. The section he cut out is there for a reason. I wander if he will post again when all of his spot welds break and the front of the car moves independantly of the body. Wanders never cease to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Play nice guys. One guy made a snorkel. One guy doesn't like it. No need for personal attacks either way. If you don't like the snorkel, say you don't like the snorkel. Don't attack the guy's intelligence for it. If you're defending your snorkel, defend it. Don't call the guy criticizing it an a-hole. C'mon boys.....that's grade school sh!t. Time to grow up, and talk like adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
