That only helps with partial submersion. If the whole pod goes under water, even a hydroshield won't help.Quote:

or drive your car into a really deep puddle a dip in the road or pothole of that calibre. which the places in sydney i drive around i cant find..
In all if your worried about hydrolock CAI isnt for you, stick with shortram hotengine bay intake
It was more of an example of the capability to go at 7000rpm through a flooded area, not that I actually do it as it is dangerous as you said.Quote:

If you're smart you just drive slowly.
If you're super worried then just disconnect your intake at the bend where the stock box generally sits, or even at the TB, then reconnect on the other side of the puddle :)
take your intake off, get some carby cleaner, run your car on idle
drain the oil, change oil, check plugs and all that
should be fine, if it wasnt you car wouldnt be running :)
holy crap! is it just me or is that stock hp figure for the GSR on the fujita dyno really high?
143hp isn't too bad for a healthy motor
edit; i take that back, does seem a bit high for a stock gsr motor, seems more like a c5 figure than c1
short ram intake for the win then?Quote:

lol if you go through enough water to completly cover the pod, id be more worried about the water coming through the doors :)
