Honestly I think if you're going to run a CAI you should just make sure you're not stupid enough to hydrolock it. You'd have to be fairly retarded.
Avoid puddles, or
Drive very slowly through puddles, or
Disconnect your intake

^^^ Good point. I've seen the result of a hydrolocked 4AGE 20V with sock's over it's throttle bodies. Hole in block beside conrod 1 and 4. No long arm intake there.
Makes me drive slow in the rain.
^^ Sure thats was due to hydro locking and not the good old 4AG + too many revs + weak con rods = hole in the block trick??Quote:

I was in the car, around 4,000rpm, decent puddle in a dip on the road, water probably came up just above the underside of the bar. F@#k what a noise! Car aquaplanned too. LOL about the weak rods!
Hmm making me nervous having just put a injen intake on my car... It still has all the proper diffusers and plastics still on the car, also ordered the injen hydrosheild to help. Ill just have to avoid big puddles.
I wouldn't worry too much, my injen intake hasn't caused me any issue's in the last year or so, just don't drive WOT.
whats WOT? Thanks mate.
wide open throttle.
ur kidding about the weak conrods thing right?Quote:

conrod from GTR on the left, 4AGE on the right..
What does that prove? You're comparing apples with oranges. In no circumstance can you compare an RB26 with any 4AGE's.Quote:

Mate, been there and done that! Played with a lot of 4AG's in my time, small port/big port, silver top/ black top. They are very fragile compared to say a B series (which is comparable).
I only talk about things I know and experienced. I don't try to be a web mechanic!
^^^^ Yeah i agree, 4-AGE rod's cringe at high rpm.
my injen pod sits seriously 6 inches off the grround, if that? when in rain, just be weary of puddles and i even drive on two lanes 2 avoid it LOL... also dont go full throttle!
