Safari snorkel on a 5th gen?

Air follows the same general rules lol. Let me explain:
First, the engine needs a volume of air right? How it gets this volume is the key. If we only had a 1/4" line 100' long supplying air to the engine it would have to suck like a, well it would really have to suck hard. Conversely if it had a 6" pipe a foot long it would be easy! With this you are increasing the length and adding some bends. To keep velocity the same and not make it suck harder you increase diameter. Small pipe and high cfm equals high velocity. Bigger pipe and high cfm equals lower velocity. Now if we could only find a way to force air in there...

don't forget though that in motion the snorkel acts as a ram and there is plenty of air to go around

In my experience. Short ram intakes makes more power up top when CAI the long tubed ones made power in the mid range but made more torque than the short rams. But the long tube is usually smaller in diameter to a short ram.

I work at oil refinery... and any time you reduce a pipe diameter you will get velocity but withless volume. But if you enlarge a pipes diameter. You get more flow but less velocity.

Isn't velocity important in helping atomization of fuel in the plenum ??? Or is the throttle body opening enough of a restriction to up the velocity before the air enters the plenum.

NO. We already have enough freakin threads about that thing that I won't name we don't need another one! You see what you've gone and done now? Honestly, we can't take you anywhere... You're going to give [MENTION=89562]bimrunner[/MENTION] fits because he won't be able to click on this thread any more either.

Maybe Safari could design the snorkel with Time and Relative Dimension in Space technology so that it'll be bigger on the inside than the outside. It can still suck in more air but be smaller so people will like the way it looks better.
 
Do you think there is enough room to run bushwacker fender flares with this? It looks like it might be a tight fit.

Without exact measurements probably impossible to know, both products haven't officially been released and the pics in this thread are the prototype. You probably just have to wait a couple months...
 
Bump because it's almost August, that bad boy is going to look great cruising the mall.... And you know you want one too. :cheer2:

Any more info? [MENTION=100172]Jim82[/MENTION]
