Re: Water in iduction system

[stargazer30]

You are highly unlikely to get enough water in to do any harm as the intake is high up on the MR2.   Only lower feeds and sealed systems are a risk as standing water can get drawn up, cause hydrolock and wreck the engine.  For this to happen you need a good part of the intake entry point to be submerged in water.  

What you will find though is your filter dirties up faster and you loose performance as the intake is facing the open vent.   Its going to suck up insects, stones, and any other crap much more than a standard intake.   There's no ram air effect so there is really no point in putting it in the vent IMO, it just needs to be somewhere cool.  This is why the stock intake points to the inside of the bay near the battery.
