Re: Snorkel set up


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Remember before the engine swaps ?? . the little clear plastic dust trap just before the VW air filter Box ?? ?after driving dirt roads & beaches, especially if behind another vehicle) ?it always felt good to see what was caught in there (I would wipe it down with motor oil to make it trap even better). On California freeways I like the idea of getting air from 5 ft above traffic exhaust (not sure there is actually a difference but I like it) . on my syncro I custom connected the ¡°snorkel¡± but I never got around to setting up the trap . remember corrugated hose will trap dust which could shake loose off roading and airflow is better with smooth tubing .

IMHO you dont need a snorkel unless you¡¯re going to be driving through creeks deeper the 18-24 inches. Even if its snowmelt then you could crack your heads.

Hey Gang!
I actually have two vanagon conversions, one a 2.2 Subaru and one is a SVX Syncro.
I've never owned a stock vanagon, and only recently realized that the factory air box uses a snorkel.
Neither of mine have the snorkel attached to the airbox.

I take my vans off road, and realized I need to hook this up.
Anyone do this? Most of the conversions I've seen don't have it hooked up.

Send some pics of your solution!

Thanks!
