The Toyota team Darkar LC uses the same snorkel. Yes the engine is a biodiesel, but I would imagine that it's air intake requirements are equal to or above the 3UR V8.

Snorkel restriction can be solved with a secondary intake flap. The one I use here would require a little work to make water tight enough for submersion, but great for everything else. VSV valve switches the vacuum diaphragm to close the flap.
Very interesting. Are you using these on URJ applications currently?
I agree, a twin turbo no less. Despite lower RPM's and displacement, the volumetric efficiency is much, much higher and needs more air. That said the fuel injection and computer system of the 3URFE might have been the issue and concern? I can ask the gent from Toyota that worked on that build and spec'd the snorkel and suspension. Perhaps someone needs to order all the OE Toyota snorkel parts and test it for us. I have all the part numbers cued up and ready to order
I suppose we need to compare apples to apples as the OEM Toyota snorkel has a much larger cross section than the low-profile snorkel being discussed.

The one above is on the 2009 URJ, but no snorkel yet... while under heavier throttle apps it adds a slight intake burble when combined with the Tundra intake tube (which flows better and has only one resonating chamber).
The one on my old 2008 5.7 Supercharged Tundra was utilized with an ARB 200 Series snorkel (not the newer Armax). It was very much required, anything more than half throttle would pin the Donaldson Filter Minder. The second flap eliminated the issue.
More info if you want.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Yes, that is that horrible snorkel head I'm referring to. Kurt, thanks for clearing up the part number difference on the filters.
It could be worse
Great info guys, but its still a lot better looking than some of the snorkels out there. Is there a way to figure how much air it moves and is viable for our gas V-8's?

OK, when considering this snorkel:
What happens when one is driving in heavy snow? Since the entrance cannot be reversed, like the Safari snorkel and similar models
or have the inlet pointing permanently backwards
what's to stop the inlet from becoming packed with snow and restrict all air flow?
Seems to me that having an inlet permanently mounted facing forward is not a good idea in snow country.
Thoughts?

I think river crossings might be an issue as well. Though I don't foresee a 200 on 22s with street tires fording many rivers.
Make sure your recirc door is closed before attempting:
Woah!
Thinkin someone’s drivin a wee bit fast on that one...

I mean, Mr. T couldn't have possibly known what he was doing when he designed a snorkel that sucked the air from the rear of that ugly mushroom head thingy.

Snow ingestion can be a real issue, 07 - 10 Tundra had a TSB for it, they would implode the airbox lid as the filter became restricted with snow. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to give that snorkel a rear entry.

Best snorkel head by far is the old Fisher Price Corn Popper. (Courtesy of Spdwaver)

Lucky for me, my time in the Great White North of Maine is over and I am living in SoCal now. I dont expect to see the snow conditions that would be an issue in the near future. As well fording those kind water crossings require a little more prep and concern (ECU protection, door seals, etc.).
Did we ever establish any information on the OEM snorkel and its viability on the 5.7? Kurt @cruiseroutfit
Thanks
Thanks
I don't recall where we ended up on that. I looked into the pricing of the OE kit and I'm confident it would be easy to adapt to the URJ200 but it's less sealed and less airflow than the Safari so my customers inquiring dead ended there.
