Well its Finally done! Ok almost, took me most of the weekend just to figure out how I wanted to do it but here is the ruff but almost final product. I do have some finishing touch to do but for the most part done. And yes I know one is off kilter. Its driving me nuts. O it will be fixed. YES IT WILL. LOL

 

[Helmut]

Great job!!

 

[yotaguy]

Thanks! Ummmmm..................................................AGAIN. LOL You and Fastas really helped me on this one!

 

[rtregod]

where you run your vent lines? Or does that still gotta be done?? Smart move with the rubber elbow.. thats how I did mine, atleast you can still remove that side panel..

 

[yotaguy]

I am just gonna run them up next to the snorkles I have the front one already there . I need more hose for the others. They are just zip tied to the snorkle. At first I had the bottom pipe ridged but could not get the plastic on and off so this was the best move and allows for more give anyway. So far everything seems to be pretty solid the clamps are held on by push rivets, but if that does not hold then I will use bolts with body washers.

Holy christ!!! I bet that took forever to mock up!!!!

Looks good, have you tested it out yet??

 

[yotaguy]

I started on it last week but it sat apart for a few days work kept me to busy. All in all I would say it took me a good day and a half and I did 6 differant versions of the set up. I have not gottin to test it out yet I still have to seal the air box. but rode it down the road and it does not seem to have taken anything away from it.

If anything, mine seemed to add a bit, but only when i mashed the throttle.. seemed to have a quicker response...Or maybe its just me being so proud of the work I did.. Ill post a pic. on how I did my vent lines, you might want to consider it..I taped them into the rubber elbow, and did a bath tub test for over an hour and no leaks..give me a few min. and I'll go out to the garage and take a pic for ya...

vent lines

Here it is.. Only reason I even suggested this is I see you too used the rubber elbow, and in my opinion it's a cleaner over all look not to run them up snork, but I like the way you did yours also...just giving you options... The purple zip ties will be replaced once I get to the hardware store and get some hose clamps, just have not made it there..(they aree there for insurance). I just drilled the hole slightly smaller than the nipple and then silconed it up real good and twisted them into the rubber.. then siliconed the tar out of the outer and inner edges, let dry and h20 tested it... so far no leaks!!!

 

[rtregod]

And I figured, here the rubber elbow is like 7 bucks, so If I messed it up, oh well go buy a new one...lol ps..I like the way you matched the color of the snork to the atv!!! Must have been a pain to find the perfect color!! i lucked out with white....

 

[yotaguy]

Color was not hard at all. Walked into lowes and it was the only shade they had in the plastic paint! The brackets I used that plasti dip spray rubber coating holds up very well. At least if I would give it time to dry that is. LOL Man look great! Will putting the vent into the intake cause a venturi and put a vacuum on the diffs?

I am also a member on another forum, and I had alot of guys say they do it that way with no problems, including a honda mechanic... I thought the same thing, but apparently not.. I felt the ends of the lines when it was running and I cannot feel any "suction" Now if you blocked the end of the snork you might get some, but the machine will die before it would have a chance to suck it thru the lines...

 

[rtregod]

I sure wouldnt vent the rear coolant res or the fuel breather that way though...lol

 

[rtregod]

I have ran it for about 20 miles with the snork, and I have no diff oil or any other fluids in air box, as I checked it and resealed it up yesterday..

 

[yotaguy]

Cool I may go that route then. Thanks for the tips
