Hey Team

have finished snorkel install on my wd21 finally - has a very strange rotary engine sound (bop bop bop bop bop).

Went for a spin - When heavy accelerating you can here the induction noise which i believe to the norm.

Sounds like a valve opening and closing or someshit - unsure am no mechanic (Sparky).

If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Cheers

got a filter in it?, might have a bent valve or broken valve spring /rocker

Yeah filters in it - where is that valve? Is that in the bit that goes over the top - labelled turbo ?

The bit that says "turbo" is the cross over pipe!
A valve is an internal engine component, you have 8 in the td27, 4 exhaust and 4 intake.

Haha yeah no mechanic here - O so that sounds pretty major!
Yeah when i removed snorkel from air filter housing it makes a similar noise there.

Bugger. Snorkel might be pretend...

bad news most transfer the intake noise. even amp it up for your benefit

Do what I did and sell the d21 and buy a challenger, they never break down and cost 10k to repair

What brand snorkel do you have? Any snorkel will make induction noise loud, but the safari snorkel that hugs the roof line (google image search will show what I mean) is louder than most (close to deafening at full noise with window open) . Maybe have a listen to some other vehicles with snorkels to compare?

Yes that is the exact one ive installed slide - dammit

Wait till your in heavy bush and turn it backwards to stop it from being ripped off
