Cold Air Intake Idea!

[stealthee]

I got damn lucky not once, but TWICE when I had a CAI. I sucked water up and it luckily stalled the car when it hit the MAS rather than getting further up the intake. I didn't even drive through a puddle. I was just driving in some rain showers. Both times when the car stalled I pulled the MAS off and dumped about a cup of water out of the MAS and had to wait for it to dry before I could go anywhere.

There was absolutely no gain in power from a CAI to a regular open element filter. I ran the CAI at the track and after I removed it I just had a filter and ran identical times. They are not worth the risk.

And you asked about the check valves. I have heard on more than one occasion of them detoriating and the engine sucking pieces of them up.

To top it all off, it would never fit the way you have it sitting right now. The CAI's found on ebay are designed for NON ABS cars because the intake is routed through the hole that the ABS unit sits in.

You can do the ABS delete by using a non ABS prop valve and lines. You could even just bend and flare them yourself if you want.

How would i do this?

With some brake lines, fittings, a tube bender, and a flare tool.

Yes, like Stealtee said I have had mine screw up just from running in the rain back when my car was NA and then the death of my piston rod happened when my wife ran it through a water puddle. The power gains just aren't worth the risk. Not even close.

My friend hydro-locked his engine recently due to the fact that his intake was too close to the ground. He supposedly went through a long deepish puddle on the freeway

The factory is not a CAI, its a FAI fresh air intake.

I like when stealthee and steve68 disagree Its amusing.

Well, it seems you guys haven't heard of the SUPER CAI!
