Ram Air
Re: Ram Air
on a similar thought...
do a search for seafoam
its and internal engine cleaner...LIQUID...that you pour or suck into your engine while it's running. i've done it several times to several engines. none have hydrolocked.
and that was with more than a cup of liquid sucked in to the engine in about 30sec.
without even going through the filter, which would probably break up most dropplets into pretty small units anyway. as studytime mentioned...it would get evaporated quickly.

Re: Ram Air
Is the SSRA safe on a lowered car?
I am afraid it will sit so low that it may be likely to drag on things or actually be partially submerged in a puddle. Does anyone have the SSRA on a lowered daily driver? Any problems?

Re: Ram Air
I've seen more than a couple little 2.5 liter mazda V6s suck up tons of water almost instantly. Don't underestimate the amount of inertia that's built up in a running motor. Not to mention the amount of airflow that's going on, even at idle.
Now, the relevance isn't really exact, because on those instances it was a sealed cold air pipe leading to a filter hanging below the splash guard under the motor. Put that thing in a deep puddle at anything more than idle and you're done. Even a motor as small as that has more than enough inertia to swallow enough water to fill up some cylinders. I've actually seen some of those engines cranked over with the plugs removed and watched the water jets shooting out of each spark plug hole. It's quite a sight. Didn't stop me from getting one of those cold air intakes though. It doesn't happen as often as you think. It IS possible though. Just use your head.
