CF AIR DUCT (350 Z) for my SPECV

BOLricoSPEC-V · 2008-10-30 23:30:09

SUP guys!! I was contemplating on ordering this air duct, but was wondering what are some of u guys doing about those rainy days, and all that water getting into your CAIs???

Bacon973 · 2008-10-30 23:30:57

no pic but is it the same air duct that alexphenoix has on his b16?

BOLricoSPEC-V · 2008-10-30 23:34:01

yup! the same one.

eric02SpecV · 2008-10-30 23:35:00

If alex did it, then no, don't do it

theherofails · 2008-10-30 23:36:00

I think Alex is the only one that has done this.

Probably for good reason.

Bacon973 · 2008-10-30 23:38:06

Laff.

eric02SpecV · 2008-10-30 23:39:08

A couple of people have done this. I believe Miguel has done it to his spec.

BOLricoSPEC-V · 2008-10-31 00:04:26

yeah, there are a few people with this duct, any suggestion on preventing HYDROLOCK with the air duct still functional??

put a sliding door on it and slide it shut when it's raining lol i dunno

BOLricoSPEC-V · 2008-10-31 00:09:56

THANKS !! that was one of my options, but there has to be something else I can do.

griebs18 · 2008-10-31 00:10:43

miguel did it and it looks hawt

theherofails · 2008-10-31 00:10:55

Would this really be that much worse than driving in the rain with a CAI anyway?

miguel07 ser · 2008-10-31 01:26:01

i personally do not suggest this. you will see extremely minor gains. youll have to cut your bumper up. its basically a hole in the bumper. water, snow, dirt rocks all sucked in. if you really must maybe in the back use like a dryer duct check valve. where you can lock it to prevent air in the rain. but then again we are going rice here.

miguel07 ser · 2008-11-01 00:12:42

2 feet its like about an inch off frome the injen cold air intake

BOLricoSPEC-V · 2008-11-01 00:43:55

Miguel, how long have you had that duct, and have you had any problems such as the replacement of your filter, hydrosheild, ETC., I DON'T MEAN TO BE SUCH A NAG ABOUT THIS ,BUT THAT AIR DUCT LOOKS SO FUCKIN HOT, NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS!!!!

miguel07 ser · 2008-11-01 20:32:06

its been about 8months now i havent had any problems and ive washed my filter twice and gone though a full rain storn last year no problems yet it really looks bad ass in person

dread1 · 2008-11-01 20:34:54

you won't hydrolock does anyone
understand the physics of hydro lock. you filter might get wet and it wil get dirtier thast about it.

people are just pussies.

get this people...your filter gets more water on it than you think, and have you hydrolocked yet?

se-rman6 · 2008-11-05 21:05:01

i doubt this will cause hydrolocking. i had no foglights on my car and my cai sat right behind the opening and i had it like that for months driving everyday. I never had a problem, the only thing i ever had to do was clean the filter

IT'S NOT THAT PEOPLE ARE PUSSIES, IT'S JUST THAT IT RAINS A SHIT LOAD MORE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

You'll be fine with it. Filter needs to be COMPLETELY submerged for hydrolock.

Just make sure you clean the filter.

unquestionable · 2008-11-08 12:30:30

how much is one of these airducts, and how much has it cost you to get it installed, i kinda want one, but im not cutting my bumper myself, id hire someone for that mod.

alexphoenix · 2008-11-08 14:35:22

the air duct is about 30 dollars shipped on ebay and you can do it yourself, seriously its not that hard just measure it and do it under the right headlight
