ARB Snorkel Warning!

[2INSANE]

Do not install an ARB snorkel to your 6.2 or 6.5 TURBO diesel. The outlet is only 3” wide and does not give enough air flow to the motor, that is if you have a turbo.

After installing the filter indicator after the filter on my motor, I have learned that the snorkel starves the motor of precious air and can cause major problems. Luckily, I caught this in time…

I am not sure how it performs on a non turbo 6.2 or 6.5.

Probably fine under most circumstances but I'd only chance that with an EGT gauge.

Or don't put one on at all because I've literally never seen a cucv up to the roof in water......

Yeah but it looks cool

Clearly that's way more important then performance....

Cool is subjective for sure. I can tell your preference I’m guessing haha

I’d much rather spend the money on a quality filter like an AEM, amsoil or even airaid dry flow filter.

Anyone that thinks it doesn't look cool is probably a commie...

I have put many square bodies in water up to the windshield which would need some type of snorkel so I guess you aren't trying hard enough!

Go 4" on the snorkel you can get the snorkel head from bretts truck parts in Australia it is a donaldson snorkel head
. when I got mine the shipping was not an issue, may be a problem now. I used 4" exhaust pipe

3 inch diameter isn't enough? The 6.2 gulps 350 standard cubic feet per minute. At 10 PSI boost, that is 600 cubic feet per minute.

A 3 inch diameter pipe has flow area of 7 square inches, at 600 cubic feet per minute, that is velocity of about 200 feet per second, a velocity less than 1/5th sonic limit. It won't make a measurable impact on performance.

Check out jh diesels youtube channel he stuck that snorkel on a na 6.2 m1028 and swamped it.
