Only a problem if you go through very deep puddles, like floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well, I figured it was when the intake system took in enough water to fill a combustion chamber or two, but I've no real idea how much water would need to spray at a filter to cause that. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Originally posted by Chris Wilson Mark Browns big power car has a neat set up on it, with an aftermarket filter pulling air from where the stock IC was, he now runs a big FMIC. He routed the pipework to the filter through the "floor" or the RH inner wing, so the filter gets cold air. This is what I had on my Purple car. Very easy to do but I would change back to engine bay during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
