What diameter coupler did you use to connect the pipe to oval opening on the air cleaner?

The pre-cleaner comes with all that hardware, all you need is the 4inch pipe (in my case) but like I said you can also get them four three inch pipe as well. I just think 4 inch looks better.

Hello,

Where did you get the piping between air cleaner and fender as seen in:

Cat Turbine PreCleaner Extends the Life of Your Air Filter

 

[paramilusmc]

Its not something you can order online. You have to call Cat directly. The pipe came from the exhaust company, its 4" stainless, painted of course.

Very similar to the Mann & Hummel Zclone pre filters used on the Unimogs for the last 50 years.... Wonder were Cat got the idea? You do know that most true fording set ups pressureize the brake drums, axles, transfer case and arrange for the slopper valves and/or crankcase breater to be vented through the snorkel stack? I am not sure if GM ever conceived of a pickup going through as much as 2-1/2 feet of water stock. You will also want to slightly loosen the fan belt before you ford the truck, otherwise your radiator is going to get a lovely round fan shaped hole in it. Unimogs and true MV's have designed into them the preliminary set ups for conversion to fording, and they also have incorporated usually very simple ways to let the fan belts slip.

Good luck, it should be interesting to see what happens if you actually get water over the top of the hood, I would be concerned about all that little better then civillian electrical wiring in the truck itself.

So this is my set up just waiting to be painted (whole vehicle) here in the next couple of weeks. The snorkel works great, or at least it seems to be working great. Have yet to find some deep rivers for fording here in southern cali. Bu the cat precleaner is working great and everything seems to be pretty air tight. I have more pictures.

Do you have a drawing od the steel pipe for future manufacturing..?

Nice job..!

 

[firefirefire90]

San Diego eh? Care to fab me up a copy when I'm down ther?

 

[howesblazer]

i understand the pre filter but how did you get the circle exhaust pipe to fit the oval hole on the air cleaner of the motor?

 

[paramilusmc]

Welded in a 6 inch length of the same pipe over the oval and filled the gaps with weld, then connected the two with a 4 inch flexible coupler from NAPA.

I have no drawing the exhaust company did everything.

Currently not in Southern Cali, sorry. But I can point you in the right direction if your going to be around the Oceanside area.

i know this is a old thread but i was thinking i want to do this. i had the idea to use a 6.5 turbo intake and hat to seal the engine and make a air filter box does anyone have any ideas if this will work better to seal the engine?

 

[usmcpatriot]

Nice setup, professional look, can you give me the details for the attachment to the aircleaner. THXS

Hello can you tell me the size you used for the black and red hose please?

 

[richingalveston]

I believe the 6.5 intake and hat only has a 2.5 inch pipe connection. I could be wrong on the exact size but it is small and designed for pressurized air. without a turbo, it will be very restrictive for a NA motor.

Oops. Didnt get to the last few threads... Ill check it out online

I want to do this to mine also. Does anyone make a premade kit?
