This is the duct
work that runs from the front up along the radiator. It
is standard 3-inch intake duct work.
Air pick up
Here is how I
sealed off the end where the snorkle is attached too.
It's a large rubber tire patch held on with a hose clamp.
Here is a
straight on view of the attachment.
Here is an OEM
air box cover. You can see where I attached the part
that inserts in to my duct work. It is a plastic 4-inch
to 3-inch reducer. I cut wedges out of the 4-inch side
and then heated it and flattened it out. |
WARNING:
You must
be careful with this setup if you cross water deep enough to
submerge the duct inlet. As it is sealed setup, it
will cause water to be sucked up with the in-coming air and
enter your engine and cause severe problems. This is
the reason behind the rubber coupling. I would highly
recommend that you purchase another AirFilter box for
inspection reasons and also a K&N or other cleanable
filter as your filter will get dirty faster and moisture,
from rain, might degrade the performance of a paper
filter.
Here is a view
of the duct coming up. This shows the coupler better.
Looking straight
down you can see the coupler is rubber. This allows
movement and a tight seal. I can pull my air box off to
cross water without confusing the MAF with an open seal in the
air box.
