When i took delivery of the Zuk, the motor had taken a big gulp of muddy water and wasn't running, so it was swapped out.
To help prevent this from happening again, I've made a DIY snorkel to keep the intake away from water.
I'm using a Massey Ferguson 35/135/140/148 tractor air pre-cleaner.
For filtration I've made an airbox out of ABC fittings and a foam filter.
I really wanted the snorkel to not look like plumbing, so I used my 12-ton pipe bender to slowly form the bends with some heat from a propane torch. Then some rapid cooling to set the bend.
ABS does not like to be heated or bent, so it is by no means perfect, but I'm please with the results :)
The TBI intake is on the drivers side - so why not install the snorkel on the drivers side ?
Well, I learned from my last drivers side DIY snorkel, that no matter what, mud, sticks, leaves and snow all get pushed up against the tube by the wipers of it's on the drivers side.
