fabbing up snorkel

[Muddycowboy]

i run a snorkle on alot of my trucks because the fact of the matter is around here its not uncommon for me to be chewing through a hole the likes of which most of u guys would be screwed in. i have run MANY snorkles and nothing ever decreased gasmileage, its the same concept of a long ass cold air intake, doesnt do dick for performance.

the fact of the matter is most the time im in mud/water thats EASILY coming over the cowl of my truck chewing through a hole, if u plan on playing in the deep stuff the a outside the truck snorkle or in the cab snorkle is a must

i ran one on a toyota with a 22r and it killed the mileage, snorkle was from the carb though the fender and up the side of the cab

i dont see where it would eat gas milage, and if it did it wouldnt be much cuz its just sucking air from a more remote location, but then again its some damn tech/scientific thing

many things happen to a fluid as it flows though a tube.im not going into it. but i think the reason my toyota ran bad was becuase of not enough CFM through the snorkle probably would have been better if i used a large ID pipe. but i didnt care enough to change it it was a trail rig not long after the snorkle was installed. flowed by a cracked block while trail riding in wellsville lol

lol, yeah and gas doesnt really matter of the road, as long as u have a spare tank of gas to get back home with lol, i think ill try and use mainly large tubes, then

 

[Muddycowboy]

it would help if you calculate the air flow rate through your motor. here is the formula (Engine Size (CID) x RPM)/ 3456 x Volumetric Efficiency = Intake Airflow (CFM). then calculate the air flow rate of your tube taking in the fact that any bend will decrease the rate of air flow. as a general rule 135 cfm of air flow per 1" of ID, so a 3" ID tube would have a flow rate of about 400 cfm. just remeber to over do the pipe diameter to take in acount the losses from bends and pipe length

 

[swynx]

so u think that if i try to keep the tubing at 3" all around it will be fine?

 

[Muddycowboy]

depends on the airflow of your intake.figure that and you will know what size to use

 

[swynx]

im to lazy, lol, ill just take my chances. or put it in my friends shop and have him do it

 

[Muddycowboy]

just stick close to your intake size no smaller id say slightly larger and dont for get a filter

 

[swynx]

what u mean dont forget a filter
