carb hat, air cleaner adapter

[Eric Schmidt]

When I first installed my system, I used a stock air cleaner manually modified to fit. I wasn't too pleased with the Spectre adapter, nor the stock Jeep adapters, so I kept looking. I finally found one made by TorqStorm. The price was right, and it fits perfectly. No spacer needed, no clearance issues anywhere yet, and it fits under the hatch! It takes a 4" hose, but that is easily dealt with. I am in the process of swapping out the Holley TB with a Rochester TB, so more to come.

Eric, 

Can yoiu please give us a link to the TorqStorm carb adaptor to a 4” hose? I find one on their site for $175, and one for $300. Perhaps your idea of “price is right” is different than mine? *grin*

Thanks.

I do like that hat, but the inlet is weird, how do you adapt a hose to it?

For $300 you get a blow off valve adapter, which is useless, the elbow adapter is only $50, but there's no straight adapter which is what I'd need

After doing some measuring, it appears that a 3 1/2" (89 mm) hose should go over the snorkel. I saw that the hat came with a 4" clamp, so I assumed it would take a 4" hose. Ooops. I am thinking that a 3 1/2" duct, like silicone brake cooling duct, will fit with a little persuasion. I will source something cheap, like dryer duct, to test for fit etc. Pegasus Racing stocks lots of hose adapters, tubing, etc.
