would there be any problems? i never drive my civic when its rains, but what if i drove it and it was raining and i have a FMIC?

 

just dont submerge trying to 4X4 or anything and you will be fine

 

It wouldnt cause any problems, its just like driving in the rain with your radiator. Its basically the same thing.

 

i didn't think anything would happen, i was just asking cause today was the first time i drove my civic in the rain since i've been turbocharged.

 

dont do it!!! your front mount will suck in the water, and you will hydro lock.

 

that was pretty convincing!

 

Rain makes your FMIC more efficient.

I can attest to that...when I first got my turbo kit on I used to watch my IAT sensor all the time through some OBDII sofware. With no rain on a nice night I would get temps in the 80 and with a little rain on a comperable night the would drop almost 10 degrees!

Turn your AIR-AIR into a WATER-AIR intercooler! We all know those work better.

My honda loved it in the rain...well other then no traction.

liam

 

Driving a small turboed honda in the rain can be very scary....

 

**** that, driving a turbo FWD in the rain is crazy.....but its my daily driver...nothing creeper than spining tire at freeway speeds
