I am at the snorkel (VA-132-2) installation and wondering if any of you can share hints and thoughts.
My setup:
Aerosport IO-375-M1S
Superior cold sump, horizontal induction
System 32 EFII
Standard Van's cowl
My main concern is (see photos) that the EFII throttle body has a 2-7/8" opening vs a 2-3/8" opening for the snorkel. If I calculate correctly, that's just a tad over 2 square inches of area difference.
Greater area/volume in the throttle body translates to lower airflow speed thus increased pressure, correct?
Would that be a good thing?
Seems to me that's like breathing through a small tube...
I will have to rework the snorkel in any case as I have a B&C starter and it interferes.
Should I just keep the top part and fit/fabricate a custom tube around the starter and to mate with the throttle body?
How about a 3" silicone non-collapsible tube?
I'm far from being a fiberglass expert...
