Thumbs up Belt Housing Snorkle

PICTURES ARE LOCATED UNDER ILLUSTRATION

1. parts needed: go to hardware store ( i went to Lowe's and bought all black pvc) and pick up these items.
1 - 3"x2" rubber boot reducer
1 - joint of 2" pvc sch. 40 ( i used black)
2 - 2" pee traps
4 - 2" 45 degree sweep fittings ( has collar on only one side)
1 - 2"short radius elbow (90)
1 - pvc cleaner
1 - pvc glue ( i used blue one)

cost: aprrox. $25

2. Lets Begin with exhaust (belt housing)
__________________________________________________ ________________________

1. Take out both seats and place them aside.
2. take all plastics off from inside of cab/seating area and set aside.
3. Remove plastic belt housing exhaust tube by gently pulling on it and set it aside along with factory rubber boot, you will not use these again.
4. take 3x2 rubber boot reducer and (with a sharp knife) cut 1/2" off of the 2" side. next take knife and trim a bevel onto the inside edge of 3" side. ( this bevel will make it a little easier to slip onto the oval shaped housing hole).
5. this part is rather hard---slip the 3" side of rubber 3x2" rubber reducer onto the oval shaped exit port on the rear of the belt housing.
6 install band around the boot and tighten. ( you may have to put 2 bands together to be able to go around the boot)
7. insert one of the 45 degree fittings into the 2" side of the boot and roll it untill it is looking up as best as you can get it. (don't tighten band on boot yet.)
8. insert another 45 degree fitting into the one that was installed in step 7 and roll it untill it is now looking straight up. (don't glue yet)
9. cut and install a straight piece of pipe into 45. cut to desired height of water level you'd like to ride in. ( i cut mine so it would end up at height of air intake inlet)
10. install pee trap fitting (180 degree fitting) on top of straight pipe. (this will keep rain water out of your belt housing)
11. make sure seat fits and bed closes.
12. go back and glue all fittings and belt exhaust is complete.
__________________________________________________ ________________________


3. intake (belt housing)

now, i took a different route on this on account of not wanting it to be hard to get to my oil filter.

1. locate the intake on the belt housing directly under the shift.
2. loosen outside band with a small flathead and remove factory tubing. put factory tubing with rear one as you won't be using it again, however: you will use factory rubber boot.
3. insert 1 45 degree fitting into factory rubber boot and roll 45 untill it is looking toward the brake pedal. don't tighten clamp just yet
4. insert 1 45 degree fitting into the one from step 3 and adjust the 2 until the outter one is facing parallel with the front driveshaft toward the hole going under the hood area(try to keep pipe more on the driver side, away from the driveshaft). don't glue just yet
5. now insert a straight piece of pipe approx. 2ft to get you to the front hood area. don't glue just yet
6. put 2" 90 degree short radius elbow facing upward on the end of pipe. don't glue
7. cut and add a straight piece of pipe (of desired lengh of height) into elbow. don't glue
8. put 180 degree pee trap on top of straight pipe. don't glue
9. check to see if everything is out of the way of moving parts and won't interfere with anything.
10 once check is done, go back and glue everything and tighten up band on factory boot on inlet.
11. you may want to use zip ties to help hold snorkle in place.

and now you should be equipped to go in deeper water!

What about the lack of air flow thru the 2" pipes compared to the stock size?

A 4" pipe carries four times as much air as a 2" not double.

A 3" pipe carries three times as much air as a 2"
