heh, and a new engine is cheaper than a propper snorkel

that is some strange logic

Not at all,

Personally I never think that sinking a car is a good idea, alternator will die, ECU's will suffer, carpets get we and stink. Not getting a car that deep is the solution, and if worst case happens (which is hasn't yet) I'd drop another lump in rather than scrapping the car.

I'm not looking to buy a snorkel though due to the fact that it only protects the air inlet, not everything else on the motor.

I think it's strange logic which makes people put snorkels on a car and then driving through water up to the top of the windscreen.

you can diy the tb with a 65mm flapwheel on a pillar drill
done quite a few like that
 

how well does that work on a standard 4ltr? or say a 4.6?
where do you get the 65mm butterflys from or do you make them up yourself?

im a believer that a snorkel is a good thing definately!!!
my reason for getting one was when my group all went to fricly, we all saw the pictures an heared the storys about people drowning their vehicles, so we all vowed not to go in any water.

 :lol:

the ecu will be fine as its plasti-coted inside its box an all the plugs are sealed, the only lectrics that might sufer are things like windows til the wirings compleatly dried out, as for alternator, mine still charges like a trooper an that been under water more times that out of it. another good thing to a snokel is you can run your axle an gearbox breathers up to it aswell.
