MK intercooler/snorkel/air filter questions
Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:03 am
Howdy .. Thinking about re-arranging the air flow in the Mk to give a bit more power and cooler running.. all comments welcome..
Currently running a AIR FLOW snorkel with a long arm into the standard air filter then into top of motor (or wherever that goes) I think there is a more effecient way, but I want to make sure I am going the right way about it.. If you forsee any problems or have comments please let me know.. I'd love the help
Thinking of getting a 3" stainless snorkel made down A pillar straight through guard (no arm) into some other style of air box with K&N filter (and removing the current air box/filter on top of motor). then into top of motor. Then running a top mount intercooler from a Supra or Soarer (with a GU bonnet scoop) back to turbo and mounting the intercooler above the motor where the original air box/filter was. This way the intercooler is central in the bonnet and conforms to the moulding in the bonnet..
What type of replacement air box should I use.. My SD##T will need some nice clean cold air to give some extra grunt.. will this do the job???
Obviously I'm doing this on the budget side of things but is the idea gunna work? Is the diameter of the snorkel enough? Please advise !
