So i had to drive in a lot of rain last night becuase my turtle was dying. i have an intake but no hydrosheild(plan on getting one real soon) well no my car doesnt whine very loud today even in high rpm 2nd gear runs...help please i guess what im asking is whats going on?

 

the only thing i can think is that ur filter is wet causing not as much air to flow to the supercharger.. should be fine though as long as u didnt get a CEL and arent noticing a loss in power

 

careful of hydrolock

 

yea its been cold so it prolly didnt dry out very well.. and there wasnt a noticeable loss in power

 

x2 just stay outta the boost as much as u can when ur driving in heavy rain

 

yea i was careful to stay out of boost and yea i wanna get a hydrosheild or something like that here pretty soon

 

water on your rotors possibly?

you WILL suck a gratuitous amount of water without a hydroshield

 

No you wont...

 

yes you will

ask me how I know

 

i'll do it...
how do you know?

 

thats why i still have stock air box lol with just K&N intake oem replacement... get a hydroshield though brotha! just like you said

 

I had to replace a MAF that was completely water logged and dry out the intake pipe and TB, which were soaked after a couple days of rain after I first put my AEM on.

It really depends on the car, every one will be different. I had entirely too much water getting in there though.

 

i drove my s/c with aem no hydro sheild never had a issue

 

stock airbox still gets water inside of it and soaks the filter

ask me how I know.... lol

GM finally released a bulletin on this issue and advised that you drill holes in the bottom of the box lid

so even the stock setup gives you a wet filter even if you avoid puddles

my setup is about as good as I'll get with the filter being in the fender.....Hydroshield is definitely FTW

 

not true.. the only way ur goin to suck in water is if you go in the boost with an AEM or another dry filter.. Thats why you go with injen or another oiled filter that doesnt soak all the water up like the AEM does.

 

No, it will get wet under vacuum too. I tried everything, I just had to get rid of the AEM and put the stock covered box back on..

 

-edited-

Hydroshields rock dude.

 

Mine is...

 

I just looked it up.

I stand Corrected

 

x2!!
