Looking for a defender snorkle

Simon Cochran uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Fit one each side and merge them?

How big is your exhaust bore? At the end of the day what goes in has to come out so if it's the same / larger bore than the exhaust I can't see an issue given we are talking Landrovers and not something thats critically fussy.

Chances are the pipes into/out of the air filter or some other similar location would be the pinch point rather than the snorkel, also surely what goes out would be more voluminous due to burnt gasses?

I can't see it being an issue either though, it's not an F1 car after all, or at least mine certainly isn't.. As long as it's at least the size of the rest of the tubing before the turbo then it ought to be fine.

Then you've got the issue of which way to face the snorkel mouth if it's a directional one like my Safari snorkel, some like the John Inman look with the mouth facing forwards and claim some kind of "ram air" effect, I go for the facing backward to avoid any bow wave getting sucked in, as if I'd go that deep anyway!!

The exhause is 3 1/2 inch straingt through without a silencer, however I doubt a safari snorkle is larger that that. lol

Sounds like a Jet ski ;-)

Drain pipe, sorted.

A pig of a job to fit? :-)

doesnt it get compressed at 10:1 (or whatever) between going in and coming out? so strictly the air in should be bigger? :) (now can someone point out the flaws in my physics!)

Then it gets heated and uncompressed... so it's bigger.

My 5.7 litre race car engine runs happily at 8000rpm via a 85mm throttle body that is fed air via a 90mm pipe. Draw your own conclusions.

I imagine it will. where it gets fun is calculating the airspeed in the pipe...

If my maths is right I think it would suck the cherries off a Bakewell tart at 15 ft assuming the icing is moist.

I'm having difficulty however calculating how far the roasted cherry would be flung out the exhaust.... Could you me more specific EMB... does it have an extractor system exhaust?

you can see why forced induction systems are the way they are. Start working out the volume of air you have to push into even a modest-sized engine at ordinary speeds in order to make a noticeable increase in the available oxygen, and it's apparent that any ordinary sort of blower is just a restriction.
