XR6T intake snorkel on AUII I6

[Lithgow]

Hey guys,
A lot of you seem to have this mod done (XR6T, BA, Tickford etc onto AUII)

I rang a dealer for a price and mentioned what I wanted to do. They came back with

You can't, you need new airbox, hoses and so on and such.......AU is so different you can't do it.....

Does this just connect up easily or is there reworking to be done to fit it. Also does anyone know the part no of the XR6T snorkel. From what I have read this is the best one to add (correct?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The XR6T snorkal is the same as the Tickford snorkal but without the wings. Bulldust to the snorkal being different and needing a new airbox.

[Lithgow]

So it just bolts straight on to the AUII then. No adjustments???

[HLC]

no adjustments. next time just ask for a XR6T intake snorkel- and DONT mention that you are putting it on an AU, cause these tools sound like they are gonna slog ya big time...

I picked up an xr6t snorkel for my au last friday but i had to order it in and it took just over 2 weeks for it to arrive. Expect this for when you order yours. Part number is BA9A624A. Price, $36.20. Before you put it on look at both snorkels and remember what they told you about needing a whole new airbox...

tell your friendly Local ford dealer to Shove his head .. somewhere

and just find a Tickford one on ebay , mine was $10

[Lithgow]

Hey thanks guys.
I had a look on the parts database and couldn't find it, closest was

ER9A624A

not BA9A624A

Still I'm not to good at using it yet

The ER would be the tickford one. If you just ask for part number 9A624A, you should end up with what you need, and may even score one with the Tickford wings on.

LOL, never tell them what its for.

When I purchased it, the guys asked me and I refused to answer. When they finally handed me he part, I payed for it and told him I was fitting it to an AU. they gorked and told me it wouldn't fit.

I never had a problem fitting it. And it looks fine

ok thanks HLC

[Lithgow]

Picked it up today $32.00. Much bigger opening than standard. Looking forward to "getting it on" Thanks guys

[Yum-Yum]

if your lucky like most of us it''ll fit straight in no probs, the only problem some people have had is that you may need to trim a little off the sides of the mouth so that it doesn't bow when putting the screws in or the other problem is the screw holes not lining up. Nothing major but.

Ey guys does anyone know what the size of an XR6T Snorkel is cause this is my setup, This is my engine bay of my XR6 EFII, Is that a standard cold air intake

Looks like an ELGT one to me so not much point in getting an XR6T one as you won't notice any difference. Xr6T snorkels don't quite line up properly in e-series so you need to drill a new hole being careful not to go into the radiator

That's an EL GT snorkel. I had one on my EL and swapped it over for an XR6T snorkel - absolutely no performance difference whatsoever. Only did it as I'd sold the EL GT snorkel.

Cheers guys, ive got one more question, what if i got a typhoon setup and moddified using my original snorkel as the snorkel under the headlight or even a pipe which locates under the headlight, would this be worth trying?

To get the same effect at a cheaper price, go and buy a length of 75 or 80mm flexible piping from autobarn, supercheap etc (around $25 for 1m length). Cut a 75/80 mm hole in the front of your airbox, fit flex tubing, and direct flex tubing to behind your headlights, or in front of radiator etc - somewhere where it will get cold air when the car is moving.

Cool, how and what type of effect will this have? and would you or anyone know what the standard rwkws is for an XR6 EFII. Gonna put it through a power run and wanna compare with the car now.
