as some might know i've just turbod my 1fz in my 79 series and have the last bit to do which is make the airbox lid suit to join the front of the turbo , I got happy with my airbox lid with the grinder and thought of another way to it so I went down the road today to a mates cruiser wrecking yard and got another airbox lid for $10,this lid will be of a hzj 75 or 78/9 as he mainly wrecks diesel troopys and utes
I bought a genuine snorkle (the later like 04 ish snorkles are fatter than say the 01s etc so I got a later one )and airbox to suit the snorkle and the snorkle air box has the air intake into the airbox in a different spot as to the non snorkle air box , anyhow we I got home sat the lid next mine hmm very different in size the hole on the dielsel is approx2-3/4" and petrol about 3-14"
even the bit near the tightning nut is different,
diesel hzj on left petrol fzj on right

so my question is , if my ute had been ordered facotory with a snorkle do you think they would you a diesel air box with the smaller air in hole/pipe of would the fzj have a bigger piece going from airbox to snorkle,
I think the diesel airbox lid will be to small for a 1fz turbo what do you guys think or does anyone have pics of an1fz 7x series with a snorkle
thanks
also abought this little bad boy when I got the ld today $20 for the clock bargin I say :)

This is sort of the way I'm heading with air box to turbo but I think I'll have to can the metal bend and have a rubber bend for motor movement
