Safari Snorkel System for the Toyota Hilux

Right from the start, Safari took the decision to design a snorkel system that exceeded the air flow requirements of the powerful 3.0L V6 gasoline engine - and through thorough engineering and exhaustive testing of the SS130-HF snorkel system, those lofty design targets were achieved.

Close attention to the internal cross sectional profile and area, air velocity and flow path through each and every point along the entire length of the snorkel system ensures that the greatest air flow is achieved.

This of course applies to components that are not visible. For example in order to achieve the optimum air flow into the standard air intake assembly inside the engine bay area, a special one-piece cast alloy duct was engineered to closely couple the snorkel joiner hose to the standard air cleaner assembly. By utilizing a special purpose duct, the internal profile can be altered to suit the surrounding components and panels whilst maintaining the desired internal cross sectional area. The result is a highly durable connection, maximum engine performance and the best possible fuel economy within the tight confines of the engine bay.

An added bonus is that this special cast alloy duct delivers the maximum convenience for those who wish to install additional under-hood accessories.

Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel design. The Safari air ra

m is designed to perform two very important roles. The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a highly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.

In addition, the detachable Safari air ram can be rotated to any position. This means great peace of mind for those who plan to travel in cold or high altitude conditions where heavy snow falls are anticipated. By rotating the air ram to face away from the prevailing wind/direction of motion, the air ram delivers additional protection from the choking effects of snow build-up inside the air intake.

The Safari Snorkel body and air ram are manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.

The Safari Snorkel system is supplied as a complete and comprehensive system that includes every nut, bolt and bracket required for installation - right from robust zero-corrosion stainless steel studs, self-locking nyloc nuts and large diameter anodized body washers through to the tough plastic A-pillar inserts.

An accurately marked template is also provided to ensure that the installation of the snorkel body to panel work is as precise as possible. In addition, a precision cut foam snorkel body gasket is included to ensure the neatest fitment possible.
