90% just seems way out of line for the amount of fuel it can drink.....I think I only got to 58% with 25 psi of boost @ 10:1 afr......pulse width could be out....just a thought.

Few hours fiddling this afternoon to try and get the airbox and snorkel linked. I had ordered some silicone pipe adapters and a bit of 100mm alloy tube.

I cut the airbox back considerably and used a bit of the 100mm silicone tube to go over it, then a bit of alloy tube to sleeve the silicone and reshape back to round again. The 100mm flexi pipe came with the airbox and is the right length to attach to the modified airbox and bend around to where the snorkel is:




The end of it in my hand has the pipercross cone filter inside another bit of alloy tubing and is joined to a bit of 45 degree bend silicone tube that is 100mm at one end and 70mm at the other (very convenient find).

Next was to cut a much bigger hole in the inner wing and chop off the old snorkel drop tube.




Test fit and it links up pretty well. I can shut the bonnet properly too (although the airbox is still rubbing the underside a wee bit). I need to trim a bit off the front slam-panel and radiator bracket, but not bad. Its back off now so I could put a coat of buzzweld around the new hole in the inner wing. Sounded pretty good on the snorkel head too :laugh:

Got the snorkel connected finally. Had to trim a bit more off the airbox and also a small section out of the bonnet...





Then off into the local town for a few bits at the shop and a quick blast on the back roads home. It was running a bit odd at first, but has settled down a bit after running for a while, so possibly the ecu has adapted a little to the reduced air coming in now. I can unplug the tube where it comes into the flexi tube and run it like that if I want (for power), using the filter inside the tube, put it back onto the snorkel for water activities.

Loving that, sounds ace..... the over run is spot on. Doesn't "fit" with the car at all, that makes it super cool

It looks like it drives well too.

Chuffed to bits for you mate, lots of work and money to get there...

Sounds great, if you heard that coming you certainly would expect to see a Jimny come round the corner, good work

Very nice matey
Loving the sound
