TRYING To Build An Off-Road Intake That Doesn't Suck!

Metal fabrication is a skill that is built upon your successes AND your failures. This video has some great fabrication and metal shaping tricks but unfortunately, the end result is something I'm not proud of. The reality is failed projects give me my biggest creative leaps forward and the second iteration of this intake will be that much better.
I think that many of you can learn from my mistakes and even though I will catch some negative comments for this, I believe this video is important!
Enjoy the episode!

You need to have an oiled foam filter for dusty conditions like on a dirtbike. It would be cool to build a air box using a filter and cage that mounts just like a dirtbike for quick changes. You'd have lots of options for filters and pre filters and keep a spare or two to swap out real quick. Something that has the wing nut go through the middle of the filter.

Your original problem was the K&N filter and not carrying a spare paper filter on your trip. The OE filter box is fine and works well for dusty trails. My suggestion - Stick with the standard filter box, add a snorkel with Donaldson pre-filter on top for particularly dusty trails, Group 31 110 Ah battery fitted in standard battery tray and compressor in the rear (plenty of room in your side bins). The rear side bins will also take another Group 31 battery if you need lots of auxiliary energy storage. Awesome fabrication skills and some great pointers on some new tools to consider. Your honesty is your greatest asset.

To be fair, (and I'm not the first to say this looking at the current top comment) my experience with K&N, it did this same thing to my intake and it was not clogged. Not that it wasn't a real issue for you, but much of that microscopic dust was just what was allowed to pass through the filter. I threw my K&N away. Junk. Also, FWIW, I regularly serviced the filter with a K&N recharge kit. Junk. Having said that, I appreciate the process. Not everyone shows the failures and the hours spent on a project that just doesn't end up working out. Great content!

I was thinking snorkel from the get-go, but was curious where you were going to go with this. My wife hates the snorkel on my ZJ, but it's not hers. She does drive it fairly often, though, and got into a conversation in the pharmacy drive-thru about it the other day. I almost like it more because she thinks it's dumb. LOL! I also have to agree that the K&N, or any oiled element filter, is not a good choice for a dusty climate. The oil will cause the filter to cake up vs a dry filter. I also want to say that I love your channel. You show enough work, get into the whys without going too deep, and manage to keep it all in a pretty concise package. Keep it up and thanks for sharing your fail with us!

But i get how you love building your own stuff, and not just buying off the shelf, plus you get some really good fabrication content for the chanel. So keep up the good work & I'm looking forward to seeing that beefy disco out on some trails in the future.

Hey Nate love the build and have a good idea for the intake if you care to hear me out. I’d recommend adjusting the locations of the battery/compressor on the drivers side and run the feed of the intake box from the cowl. The cowl cover on the Disco II already has a pre-filter built into it that used to prevent the debris from entering the cabin air filter. I’d did something similar on my TJ since I’m not a fan of snorkels. Hope this helps with finding a solution and keep out for Adventure Bound Offroad at KOH next week!

@tompanic524 2 жыл бұрын

I spent the first half of the video wondering why no snorkel, but you answered that once you decided to change to a panel filter. Fact is you want the cleanest available air (usually from up near the roof) feeding to your airbox and then thru the filter and to the engine. That gives you a filter that lasts longer between cleans or replacements. My 76 Series Landcruiser V8 does a lot of outback travel (downunder in Aus) covering many thousands of kilometers on dirt and with a snorkel the filter service life between cleans is 10,000 to 20,000 kms. I think you may also need to re-think the location of the second battery as you need an airbox big enough to allow the air to flow smoothly. Too many corners and snug spaces can really spoil the air flow rate. Great video and best of luck on the rest of the build. And as we say in Aus "keep it right side up!!"

@Neilman1000 3 жыл бұрын

Nate, whether you use the stock air box or fab a custom one. Use grease on the sealing surface between the filter and the box to keep the fine dist particles from going into the intake. Also, those fabric filters acually filter better when some dirt builds up on the filter material. Old dirt track racers never would wash a fabric filter element. They would knock off the heavy buildup and re-apply the appropriate filter oil if it looked a little dry. Grease the mating surface (K&N makes a specific grease for this) and hit the starting line. Hope this helps.

@brunothehumble 3 жыл бұрын

From a mechanic standpoint my only advice on this is to have an easily removable filter and get in the habit of blowing it out daily when in very dusty terrain. Your factory type filter actually does an amazing job for this when it has the correct filter for the environment but most filter media doesn’t catch that super fine dust. Pre filtering a cartridge type intake is a wonderful concept and works wonders when in those super dusty areas. No matter how you look at it, building a viable intake suitable for all environments is a challenge.

I liked how you mentioned and had an example of the fine dust that exists in the South west and the fact that those washable cotton gauze filters are great and they have excellent airflow but they don't catch the dust that coats EVERYTHING when you go to places like Moab or the likes. Heck i've had drop in K&N in my 08 6.7 from day one of owning it but i have a factory pleated paper filter on hand if i go somewhere thats dusty, same thing for my Jeep. I'm in Northern IL btw, no dust😊👍

@garethmcgregor1621 3 жыл бұрын

Good video Nate, that plastic is interesting. Glad you decided to move the battery and go panel filter, let it breathe. Also the larger the filter and the area around the filter will slow down the air speeds and let the filter be more effective, they don't filter as well if the air moves too fast. 4 inch stainless tube snorkels are real popular down here (Aus) google them a bit (for Patrols etc) you might like them, plus you can put a proper ram head from truck parts suppliers on them. Bigger is better with the snorkel too, it will keep the air speeds down. Love your work bro👍

You are extremely good at getting creative with your fabrication. This is just one instance where creativity got ahead of practicality. I wondered why you didn't decide on a panel filter as soon as you pointed out the fitment problem with the cone filter. You could probably build a good box with a panel filter and still keep the second battery under the hood.

There's a saying that any plan that works today is better than waiting for the perfect plan tomorrow. (I.e. The kind of tomorrow that never comes) I think there is a flip side to this: Learning lessons from a failed plan today leads towards a perfect plan tomorrow. (The tomorrow that comes from perseverance and knowledge learned from previous failed attempts and honest analysis). If nothing else, you got to practice the skills of metalworking and fabrication so they are up to snuff for the next attempt. Being able to mentally wing it from general concept to fine finishing details is great when it works, but sometimes a defined, detailed plan before touching a tool can save a lot of time and expense. Just keep it flexible enough to keep ahead of the gremlins that inevitably show up. Looking forward to seeing Intake fab v2.0!

The only ‘fail’ is to give up, Nate.. didn’t hear that being said so it’s a ‘win’ regardless. Disco’s have a booming ‘off road’ accessories market snorkels being part of that. Think about looking at those as well as fabricating one yourself.. no shame in doing that at all. Whatever you choose will be the right decision. Always learn something on your channel.. keep on ‘keeping on’ this will all come together in the end.. Edit/add on.. ‘Showing failure’ mentioned below... One of KZfaq’s tips to be a successful creator is to show things that go wrong in your videos. I would wager it boils down to viewer ‘empathy’ as they too are along for the ride...your channel is ‘polished’ in all the right areas regards production etc...(with some ‘dodgy’ music😉) and showing problems and issues ensures that viewers ‘feel’ the reality...= greater engagement... more views, more subs, etc....
