Its more of a raised intake.... i've had the tube and the snorkel for a longgggg time. finally got cylinders and then i FINALLLYYYYY got them filled. the tube is 16ga. 304 SS.fudged the fender a bit to fit the tube...tube set in place with zip ties...air box all sealed up with rtv...Body guys look away....From a distance...it is pretty low, it is exactly where i want it though. i dont want to use it, it is just there in case i need it. there is alot of other stuff to worry about when it comes to deep water, i just want the engine to have some protection if i sink the front end on accident.
Reply:not bad, IMO you should have went ahead and went up to the roofline. it looks pretty good though, heavy steel to use for that pipe no? did you test it for leaks?
Reply:Might the intake be less prone to swallow water from rain and splash if it were pointed backwards instead of forward? If this did get a big splash of water, I guess it may get the filter wet and collect in the air box, but not really get into the engine because exit out of the air box is up high?
Reply:Is that some kind of special splatter protectant coating everything? Looks like most of the welding was done on the bench.Lincoln SA200, HH135, Lencospot, HF80 Inverter, Rockwell 11x35 lathe, HF drill mill, Kama 554 tractor w/ FEL & BH, Belarus 250AS, lot's of Chinese tools
Reply:"heavy steel to use for that pipe no? did you test it for leaks?"Can't pass up free steel. and i did not leak test it. it should hold out water long enough for me to figure out i should shut off the engine before anything really bad happens."Might the intake be less prone to swallow water from rain and splash if it were pointed backwards instead of forward?" the head is supposed to be designed to flow water out the sides and air through the middle."Is that some kind of special splatter protectant coating everything?"No, it is just super dirty. haven't washed it in a year and it just sits outside. |
