Snorkel, anyone? [Merged]

[afrasay]

Where can I find the cheapest, but not necessarily pangit na snorkel. Kahit made to order. Can't find the snorkel thread sa "other" forum, kaya dito na lang.

Hero,

Aha, someone awake to keep me company. Actually nangyari na sa akin yan last Oct. 27 (check my avatar and pbase pixs)). Basa carpet and all. Ngayon wala munang carpet up to the 30th. :wink:

[kimpOy]

Sir afrasay:::

You might wanna try Armark in San Juan, though di safari snorkel brand ang kanila, Airtek Snorkel ang carry nilang brand. Gusto mo sabay tayo magpakabit? :D

I tried Ride in banawe, wala si Mr. Diaz nung pumunta ako, then yung mga crew nila either tinatamad mag work o talagang walang alam sa mga products na binebenta nila. I asked them for suspension kits and snorkels, puro sila turo sa mga samples wala man lang explanation sa height increase, bushing changes, drilling holes for snorkes... what a waste of my time! :x

[afrasay]

Nagpunta ako yesterday afternoon sa may 20th ave. Doon daw mayroon mura, as far as I remember doon sa "other" forum. P13,000 ang quote sa akin. Sabi ng mind ko, Whaaattt?!!! Parang orig na yun ,ah. Then, kanina look ako sa Safari website. Nakita ko kung gaano ka complicated yun design. Naisip ko hmmm....:roll:

[pajerokid]

'Fred::: mukhang mey balak kang magswimming na naman a! :mrgreen: Pare if youre on a budget, pwede kang gumawa ng snorkel made out of PVC pipes. Actually maganda rin yung result, but i guess mahirap gawin. I saw this in an old 4x4Mag

[afrasay]

Baka mapagkamalan ilalim ng kitchen sink yon ride ko. Kaya siguro yan ng tubero ko . :lol: Got to go. Ninong na naman ako...


...sa binyag :D

afrasay,

DIY ka na lang ng snorkel. Tama si PK. Although hindi ito external. Ililipat lang nito ang intake point mo from inside the front portion of the engine compartment to inside the right front fender just before the right front door.

Can you imagine what I'm saying? Use PVC and lots of sealant. This works on Toyota trucks. I see no reason why It can't work on our rigs.

Medyo matrabaho lang. You'd need to take the fender and fender liner off. Tapos rush back and forth your suking hardware store to get the right fittings and instillation stuff.

[kimpOy]

akala ko tuloy nakalabas yung PVC tapos sa itaas ng snorkel elbow na PVC he..he

teka kulay blue ba o neltex na orange he..he

[Hero]

ungas,

ah ganon na ba sa ride ngayon...baka kasi di na natutukan ng may ari ganyan talaga kung napapabayaan ng mga store owners..nagtatanga tangahan or sa totoo lang tinatamad ang mga staff...ang hirap talaga dito sa atin! sabagay when i was there..may isang nagtitint doon sumobra tagal kalahating araw ata ginawa!

[Ungas]

Hero::: Di ko po kasi naabutan si Mr. Diaz that day. Kakaalis lang daw nung pumunta ako. :? (a matter of wrong timing?)

Pero yung mga staff nilang naiwan walang kaalam alam sa mga binebenta nila, lahat ng itanong ko about suspensions tuturo sa sample, pati shock absorbers tuturo nila yung mga nakasabit then ipapasa pasa pa sa iba't ibang tao. Shheeessssh! :P

[ravrx]

Dito sa malabon marami akong nakikitang mga homemade snorkels sa mga sa mga wrangler-type jeep, lc 40,box type na pajero yung iba parang pvc lang ang gamit, yung iba naman parang yung ginagamit na water spout sa gutter ng bahay parang mas maganda siyang tignan kasi square siya unlike ng pvc, gusto ko rin lagyan jeep ko kya lang baka pumalpak lalong pumangit! :twisted:

[pajerokid]

Si Ser kimp0y expert sa PVC pipes!!! :D

Yung sinasabi ko po ay external. Chinese SUV club po may pakana. Sa tingin ko ito po yung gray ang color, but parang ni-liha nila at pininturahan.... actually maganda :D

But Otep's idea is ok too!

[wildthing]

Mga bossing,

Hindi naman sa kumokontra ako, pero there was once an article I read that the PVC's are good and easy to get sana kaso they are not thermally stable....at a certain temp (which they did not mention) the PVC will realease gas vapors (by-products ng raw mat ng PVC) that could be harmfull daw (I just don't know kung dun sa tao o sa engine)?

But then again, this could just be a myth..... (any chemist around to substantiate this?!?)

A comment from a mechanic/4x4 hobbyist said to me that if I add a snorkel, just make sure that you seal the connections very well, otherwise it would be useless.

My 2 cents.

[pajerokid]

wildthing::: youre correct. pvc will release some chemicals. its not intended to be exposed to heat kasi. but these chemicals will not be harmful to engines. Yung honda ko dati meron portion na naka pvc sa intake :D

on sealing the snorkel.... that goes without saying pare! without sealing, it will not only be useless but you can also kiss the engine goodbye hehehe :D

all:::

on snorkels pa rin..... ako personally ayoko magpalaga coz IMHO, wa poise tignan. Minsan ok sa paningin minsan hinde.... ang hirap e permanent yon so hindi mo lang basta basta maaalis :D I guess Otep's suggestion is the best for me :wink:

[OTEP]

Ok lang yung PVC kasi nasa inner fender naman siya. Hindi exposed sa extreme heat of the engine and hindi exposed sa vehicle occupants.

Sino ba dito marunong bumaklas ng fender ng V44? I think I feel a Chrismas project coming up. :mrgreen:

[pajerokid]

otep:: {ahem} ser andito po ako (raising hand)! :D Mahirap tanggalin coz you have to remove the flare..... na naka rivet. After removing the flare, remove the screws connecting the fender to the body. Masyadong marami to metion e. after that, youre basically home free! :D

[OTEP]

Hindi ba pwedeng kasama na lang yung flare sa pagtanggal ng fender?

[20vanda01]

meron na ba ritong naka crosswind (xtrm, xuv/i variant) na naka snorkeL? pa-share naman ng photo.
thanks.
