Bringing up an old topic but I too am about to fit one of these. I bought the Jaycar kit. I paid $40 from a mate who works at Jaycar and I am now sitting here looking at lots of little electronic gubbins, wotsits and whodackame things with my 40watt soldering iron in my hand. Anyway- I am actually ...

Or that flexible pipe from irrigation suppliers! I'm up for anything so long as it works. Finishing an engine/other bits swap right now and then look at building the snorkel- will keep this post updated.

I'll have a look. I'll definitely fit it. It seems that both are geared down hi-torque style starters- never seen one of them fitted as standard.

stripping engines out of our two old '87 4wd vans to do engine swap. identical vans. But one has a much much larger starter motor. it must be 50mm longer and motor is bigger in diameter. Even the main feed cable from battery mounts two solenoid with a 17mm nut any ideas what it might be off ...

today we started taking the engine out of ours and another van we just bought to swap em across. i noticed how easy the rubber coupling comes off from between manifold and filter housing - perhaps some macgyver like arrangement for an internal (noisy...) snorkle could be made? just for river ...

Has there ever been a snorkel made for Hiace 4wds- older ones like ours? We do use it off road and the other day I had to stop at a river crossing which I knew was going to be higher than the intake. Also- It seems that we must have the last remaining first gen 4wd hiace left in NZ? I have not seen ...

Can you do the same with the 2L- just bolt on a turbo and run low boost? Or will it just blow up as above- ie is the 2L just not suited to any boost?
