Title: Frontera Snorkel
Post by: Siecroz on November 04, 2005, 14:26:38
Hi..

Does anyone know where I could get hold of a Snorkel kit for my Frontera? And the cost if possible.

I have read many forums/websites on making my own... but to be honest.. I dont trust myself enough  :?

Thanks

I was searching awhile ago and found a site where someone was posting saying he had searched for ages till he found a company that did it.  6 months later and he is still waiting  :cry:

I have a petrol so I will probably be best off to just avoid water and deep wet mud anyway.

Sorry, not much help there.

Guys guys guys ;-)

You are looking for a Vauxhall Frontera snorkel .... dead end.

You drive Isuzus .... rebadged. I think it's the Isuzu Frontier....

They do Isuzu snorkels :-)

The issue might be the engine type.

I have the following listed :

Isuzu / GMH Rodeo Diesel 2.8L
Isuzu / GMH Jakaroo Trooper 3.1D & 3.0D
Vauxhall Monterey Diesel 3.1 & Diesel 3.0
Isuzu / GMH Jackaroo Trooper 3.2 petrol
Vauxhall Monterey 3.2 petrol

If any of them are any good to you... send me an email :  tim@devon4x4.com

They do two equivalents..

Amigo - Frontera Sport (SWB)
Rodeo - Frontera Estate (LWB)

I am not sure about the engine type.. I think thats down to the age. After reading up a little on the Frontera's, they have stopped producing the 2.3TDi and now the standard low spec Estate is a 2.8Ltr..

I will have a look in the Bible tonight (Haynes Manual) to see if there is any difference in the 2.8 Diesel and the 2.3Diesel with regards to the air intake.. and if I could adapt a 2.8 to suite.

Thanks

Sie

Huge difference Matey!. the 2.3 is the crappy old Bedford CF engine, the 2.8 is a Isuzu, the 2.5 is VM and the 2.2 is Vauxhall.  HTH :)

Ah poo... I was hoping I might be able to fudge it so it would work.

To be honest.. I am not too good with Engines at the mo. I pick up pretty quickly tho so I suppose the more I play, the more I'll know.

Give me a PC/Server or an SA80 and I can strip and assemble both with my eyes closed!!

 :D

I'm not saying you can't make it fit but.....

The fact is i don't know but the engines aren't even distantly related.

You want the new version, the old SA80 will just jam quicker than a microsoft application can!


You thought of using the outside part of a raised air intake designed for a similar vehicle and getting the connecting tube to the air box custom made?
