Question for KEP (re: Syncro Install)
|
Warren Chapman
QUESTION+++ Do you have Syncro specific air intake plumbing?? (If
so I don't have it in the kit I received.) I understand that you have sold quite a few kits to Syncro owners. The Syncro has special air-intake plumbing which is designed to allow the Syncro to go through high water without sucking water into the air intake. Outboard of the Vanagon air filter the air intake has a special dust trap and then connects with another plastic pipe which extends vertically inside the body panel to draw air from the vent behind the last window. All of this plumbing is on the passenger side of the vehicle. Your standard kit shows all of the intake plumbing, including your special piping, air cleaner and intake silencer unit on the drivers side of the engine bay. Maybe I haven't read everything thoroughly, (haven't gotten past wiring HELL yet) but I haven't seen any specific instructions for Syncro's regarding this special air intake plumbing. ALL YOU SYNCRO CONVERTERS PLEASE CHIME IN WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE. Warren C. '90 Syncro Westy |

The Vanagon filter and intake is so restrictive that I decided it was better

to use the Subaru intake duct with our filter. Some customers have used the Subaru filter box but it is not an intake silencer like our filter. The length of the engine control wires dictated that the passenger side be used for wires. The Subaru air duct dictated that the filter belonged on the driver side. You are welcome to change these things. Hobert Kennedy Kennedy Engineered Products 38830 17th St. East Palmdale, CA 93550 (661) 272-1147 ----- Original Message -----

ANY MEMBERS CONVERTED SYNCRO'S YET??
If so, what did you do with the intake plumbing?? Modify for the Syncro or use Kennedy's setup as-is.?

ANY MEMBERS CONVERTED SYNCRO'S YET??My advice would be: If you never drive in deep water, the snorkel sure sounds like it's more trouble than its worth. I wish I had a Syncro Westy, and if I did, I would then wish I actually went places where I needed the snorkel!
