intake question

Phinch · Jan 21st, 2003, 05:53 PM

if you have a ram air box, hoodscoop or snorkle feeding your intake, what happens when it rains? I want to route cold air into my engine but i hesitate because i'm worried about what a downpour would do to the engine. any thoughts or comments?
thanks

You build in a low spot with drain holes.

I had a ram-air setup when I had my Z24... I never had a problem with rain. For an intake to really ever have a water problem, the filter has to be completely submerged with water. Very unlikely that would happen with ram air. But yeah, like bahearn said, just have drain holes. =)

Or you can get the AEM bypass valve.

I found that these will open up at sudden WOT. Possibly hurting performance.
