hey people,

i have a frount mount intake(like an intercooler). and i want to know if its good in the rain? would water go in my motor and should i change it to a cold air or just leave it..help plz

 

IMO, that intake is the most riced out thing you can do to your car.

Sell it and get a short ram if you are worried about water ingestion.

 

Short ram

Front mount is a gimmick.

 

well i like it...im just wondering if water will go in my motor and mess it up

More than likely not, but if you are that worried about it, buy an AEM by pass valve or convert it to an SRI.

 

alright thx alot

 

i can't imagine it being good to have water splashing all over it. it is pretty ghey, i would get something else

 

I do remember once my car bogging and shutting off when I had a CAI and no inner wheel well protector during a rainstorm. The car sat in my driveway for two days but then started up fine. I could only attribute the problem to the CAI sucking up moisture.

But idk if enough water could get into your engine to crack it or anything.

 

take it off and take it to a metal yard... they give you somewhere around 99 cents a lb. i also believe that the backs of those are solid blocking any chance any air has at hitting your radiator actually making less power than a short ram would yeild.

 

Short ram = warm air intake. Man up and go turbo!

So you have an InterFooler?
Not only is it LAME.. its actually decresing your power!

 

minus well used the hundred bucks and bought a real intercooler and get the same about of power loss..thats wut i did..jk
as long as u like it i guess thats wut matters..just get a by pass valve..if it came in a two piece piping then on the top piece just cut it and insert the bypass valve there

 

Yes it is fine, you may have to spray the oil on it occationally to keep up with the performance and water resistance but that is it.
