Was in the process of building, well installing a snorkel kit but ran into an issue... The alternator got my way look!
So I don't wanna run it like that because im 99% sure it will cut through it sooner than later so any suggestions? PVC 90 degree with tons of PVC glue to prevent leakage? What do y'all think will work
I was gunna cut like 2 inchs and out a 45 or 90 degree elbow to lay it up on where the ac compressor should be? Do you think that would be smart or just trying sending it right through their, I just don't want it to cut through or something
You can get the tube through there. That's the vacuum canister. I put a piece of aluminum angle down the edge of the canister with some epoxy to keep the snorkel tube from pushing the vacuum tube elbow off of it's fitting.
Ok so just squeeze it through the top section, and don't let the hole get covered... What's the easiest way to not screw up cutting the hole. This is the nerve racking part one of the last things I'm waiting on...
Do your AC vents work properly? They're controlled by the vacuum boost and with that box disconnected, it should default to window defrost.
In the picture above my first comment - there was some thin black lines running past it - do any of these have end-fittings that match the hole on the box? It should just push right on.
Now that ya say that they didn't but I just ran a T off the intake manifold and to the vent cause they weren't working, so I kinda overided that box then... I'm very nervous doing this snorkel, I might have someone do it because I'm little scared lol, the whole mounting and cuttin the hole is what scares me
Check those thin black lines, they look like they could be the vacuum lines... Otherwise you'll want to trace it from the connection on the intake manifold and see where it ends. Fix that before it gets too crowded in there.
It works fine mate, and those are wires not hoses idk where they go but yeah, thatall good I'm not worrie bout that, I don't know how to finish thisnor get that through their
They are telling you how to properly fix the vacuum system on your Jeep so your vents work properly. That is a sort of vacuum accumulator. Of course vacuum is pulled from the intake manifold, but what happens when the engine is ran wide open throttle? No more vacuum so now your vents default. That accumulator will hold a vacuum during those times.
I would suggest you properly fix the hoses and use it as Jeep intended. Otherwise if you insist on bypassing the vacuum accumulator, then just remove it entirely. You've already defeated the purpose, said you're not going to bother with it and now fussing over lack of space. Remove it and there's your space.
BTW, your scoop's not on all the way. If you positioned things correctly, the top of it should be about even with the roofline and having it further on the main body will let it separate water (rain, splashes, etc.) from the intake air.

I've loosened it and pushed it down as far as it goes and it doesn't go lower but I could file it a little to get it lower
