Brand new Snorkel Kit to suit 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser - S20
S20 Snorkel Kit fits the following engines:
V8 Petrol V8 Diesel
AIRFLOW have released a snorkel for the new 200 series Landcruiser. Extensive testing involved creating an airflow onto the snorkel whilst the vehicle was on a dyno. The dyno test simulated driving speeds up to 145 Klms/hr and a variable speed centrifugal fan created airflow at comparable speeds. The test results showed increased torque and power up to speeds of 95 Klms/hr, after which the performance leveled off. An additional test was to monitor the fuel economy on a long trip with a vehicle carrying 6 passengers and towing a campervan. This test indicated an improvement of approximately 8% in fuel consumption.
Airflow Snorkels deliver air where it is needed. Fuel efficiency, economy and getting the most out of the vehicle is what Airflow Snorkels aim to achieve, as well as being able to go through that river crossing. To this end Airflow has been conducting airflow, friction loss and performance testing on their products and other air induction manifolds for many years.
Why do we need more air? Your engine needs air and fuel to make it work. More air and oxygen going into the engine means more efficient combustion. When the air is taken from under the bonnet hood or the wheel arch, the air is hotter than the air that is collected by a snorkel at roof level. The hotter the air, the less available oxygen there is for efficient combustion.
How does it work? Air is taken in at roof level where the air is less disturbed, contains less contaminants from the road and traffic conditions and is cooler than air from the engine bay or at ground level.
5 Reasons why your 4WD needs a snorkel.
1 COOLER OPERATION
Whether your 4WD is powered by a petrol or diesel engine, it's dependent on air for its operation. Fitting a snorkel means the air supply is drawn in at roof level and not the air intake, which is often located in the engine bay. The cooler air stream enhances engine performance due to the cooler air being more dense allowing better combustion and more power.
2 LESS DUST
Because the Airflow Snorkel draws air from roof level, dust isn't as thick and plentiful as it is in the engine bay or inner guard where many engine air intakes are located (if you look under the bonnet after a few kilometres of driving in dust you'll see what we mean!) The relatively cleaner air, via the Airflow Snorkel working with the original air cleaner system, will help extend air filter effectiveness, therefore reducing wear of vital components and leading to extended engine life and reliability.
3 SAFER AND STRESS FREE RIVER CROSSINGS
When crossing streams, rivers or bog holes is not the time you want the engine to die. Diesel engines in particular are very expensive to repair if water should get into them. But with the air supply via a positively sealed Airflow Snorkel well above water level, you can expect worry-free water crossings so you can focus on picking the best and safest route across.
4 RAM AIR EFFECT
Because a snorkel is forced through the air as the vehicle travels, it creates what is known as ram air effect. This has often been found to provide a welcome increase in engine performance.
5 CHEAP INSURANCE
With the average cost of rebuilding a diesel engine being around the $6000.00 and a petrol engine around the $3000.00 can you afford to take a punt next time you cross a river or a bog hole that is “a bit over the wheels” level. Don't risk your engine.
FEATURES
- As well as complementing the looks of any 4WD, an Airflow Snorkel offers these practical benefits:
- Airflow's intake design separates rain or moisture from the air stream before it enters the engine.
- An optional pre-cleaner assembly is available for extreme dust operating environments
- The snorkel body is manufactured from high quality UV-resistant polyethylene for maximum strength and rigidity and incorporating stainless steel hardware.
- A wide range fits most popular 4WD makes and models .
- Snorkel comes as a complete kit, including fitting intructions, template and all hardware required.
- Easy installation minimising modifications to the vehicles original components.
We ship worldwide daily,worldwide inernational freight per snorkel kit is between AU$40.00 to AU$90.00 via air freight depending on location.
