Hey this is a ricer thread, Stay out of it!

 

Stop acting like him mommy, people, come on now....

I have heard good stories about by-pass valves. Just be sure and tell your friend to get a good one (AEM or the like) and not a cheapie. I had a friend with a lowered Accord, CAI with bypass. He had to drive through a rather deep puddle once. Water went up his exhaust and evaporated rather quick (...lol) but nothing up his intake.

A bypass valve, covering the underside of his car, and trying to avoid large puddles is about the most your friend can do.

 

I need me one of them bypass valves. I can only drive thru water to the top of my tires

 

haha

 

They submurged the intake 3 ft deep in water while doing a dyno pull.... WTF else do you want...... I dont know anyone driving around with water up to their mirrors!

 

The water moving at 60mph toward the inlet of the cai.

 

I didn't have a bypass valve on my first motor, and with my body kit exposing the filter.. yeah I definitely bent every rod. Taking the motor out, every single hose had water coming out of it and it blew 3 seals on the radiator.

I now use a short ram intake, coz my friend hydrolocked his motor with a bypass and he didn't even hit that much water. It's a chance you take.

I slid into a flooded part of the road. I had my CAI on for about 3 years and never had a problem, but thankfully I had another H22 sitting in the shop so I didn't mind too much about the old motor.

Just use a short ram, plain as that if you have any worries about locking up a motor.

 

well, it was 9whp....but who's counting right?

 

will get stopped when it hits the filter... Just try squirting a hose at a K&N.. the velocity once it penetrates can hardly be called a "trickle".

I've done this lots of times while cleaning my K&N.

 

hmm.. because drag racing is all that matters right brotha? Some people don't want the same things you want when it comes to their car.
