Snorkel / Upgraded Intake

Hey guys/gals!

Has anyone fitted an aftermarket or upgraded intake / snorkel on their NP300 truck yet?

If you have, did you notice and difference in performance?

What about difference in induction noise? Can you hear the turbo woosh more?

Mate, there is stuff all for it atm. TJM IIRC are the only ones who have a snorkel available. I think it may take a little longer for aftermarket goodies to arrive

I contacted Safari. They only have a proto-type they are testing at the moment.

I just really want to replace that aweful looking factory intake with something that actually can flow more air.

I have a airtek snorkle fitted. It does generate some induction noise tho.

More induction... that sounds cool!

My old d22 used to create big induction noise. Its a combination between induction and engine noise i think.

anyone got a snorkel fitted?
Interested how they got it past the ECU!

The AAA snorkle/airbox comes with an ecu relocation

Got the instructions from TJM and theirs goes down to the front of the ECU

Ill try get a photo of it tomorrow where mines runs. Are you sure thats your ecu?

The TJM one... does it increase the size of the intake at all, as the size of the intake to the stock airbox is horribly small.

It comes through the guard infront of the box between the headlight then does an up and over with the tjm one

Wow. That intake still looks horrible.

The smallest hole drilled in the guard is 76mm.
so 3" intake pipe
If that helps

Yeah its not the most efficient deaign but i havent had a look at it to see why its like that. Im guessing that the part heading up i molded to the airbox not bolted on.

This is an unedumicated question, the turbos spool up post combustion but force more air into the engine pre combustion, so the cumputer controls air, fuel mixture, does it matter if you have a slightly restricted air flow as it is or would force air induction offer any benefits?

The turbos suck air to force it into the engine so if there is restrictions stoping the air coming in then the turbso cant force the air into the engine

So in the bottom of the airbox there is 3 holes about 4mm diameter. Im thinking of blocking 2 of them off and then the 3rd leave it as a drain for rain coming down the snorkle i was gonna connect it to window washer tube but dont know where to run it so it can drain water and not suck it into the engine

I thought the snorkel head had something to get rid of water...

By the sounds of it, the snorkel doesnt do much for wading depth if there are holes in the bottom of the airbox... :-/

No, turbos force air into the engine. The only interaction with the exhaust, is that they are driven by exhaust power. In modern cars turbos have nothing to do with the fuel system at all. It is independant.

Any restriction pre-turbo acts like a restrictor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictor_plate
