got around to modyfying my snorkel so its still usable. required a bit of measurement and math but in a nutshell...

1)i just cut out the left hand side of the snorkel.

2)bent some titanium to match the width of the hole i cut out. (bent the ends in, then screwed it to the plastic)

3)then used a high temp silicone to glue it and 100% seal.

4)then painted..

Also doing this now, good job on the titanium..

Why did you choose titanium? over say normal sheet metal or something thinner..

How much for the titanium and where did you purchase it...

My plan was going to be to use pop rivets and seal it with silicon..

Cheers

That looks really good, would you be willing to make anymore to sell because i would buy one for sure

sorry nah i wont be making any extras. it seriously isnt that hard though.. just got to have some decent tools. time and an aviation engineer.( :D ) jk.

i used titanium simply becuase my stepdad works of aeroplanes and he got me some. no more than an a4 sheet size. maybe a little longer to ensure you cover the whole area you have cut out. however i have no idea where you can buy it, im sure just a bendable sheet of aliminium would do the trick.

Have you also got a cold air intake running from underneath the airbox..

i have a cold air intake from where one of the stock cooler pipe was, but had it there for the pod. i woundnt connect it up to the stock box because any induction underneath the box would bypass the filter.. but its still there..

post up ya pics if anyone has there snorkel done.

i am also running around with plastic held by duct tape, it works fine. also cut up the top half of the box so that the inlet is the whole side not just the back half, as i thought i would be losing out by removing half the snorkel. run a pipe straight to the underside of the snorkel from the stock intercooler pipe hole and thats your cai. with both happening i have no loss over a pod, perhaps its better lol. downside to those who care is no bov noise because it is damped heavily by the tape. meh. when you hit 10-12 psi you can hear it whoosh a bit still.

sound interesting... although i think i would rather leave it looking clean, quiet, simple and effective. kinda had that reason in mind when i made it, that if a cop looks under my hood its not going to look too dodgy.

cheers

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.

      I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.

      All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
