Nice work Maik. I love the fact that everything on your truck looks so unique. I look forward to seeing the finished intake.

Looks nice, but does the physics work? At first glance I suspect flow resistance to be quite high.

yes the flow resistance is higher than witgout a snorkel. but at first test drive I don't felt a difference.

IMHO everything was nice with the roof rack and rock sliders, but.........not really my test. I suggest you can improve the interfase between the "ram" top and the pipes. Puma 110" SW

Did you do some measurements of the change? i.e. loss of power with this construction and additional stress on turbo are the most important ones. I checked the original lr part and did some measurements after which I decided not to put the rai on it as I felt uncertain about the implication on the TD4. |

@Mk
What would you improve ? It's interesting to hear what other think and mean what can to be improve. €Ninetytd4 Oh no I didn't made some measurements  I've no possibility to do that, the one and only what I can do is only test, try and feel....the lowest cross section is in in the fender and thats really quite small.
but you're completly right, that the flow resitance will be increased with the additional bends, we will see how it works in the future. |

Having the top facing front and the pipes at 90º going down doesn t look you`ll get air in a smooth way. It is called Head Loss. Puma 110" SW

 I very nearly posted something along those lines but thought better of it.
While I can appreciate the work involved that RAI is not to my taste either. Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

Got to agree with Mike.
Fair play to you for making your own, unique system ..... but it's not to my taste, ugly looking thing. No offence Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |
