I've routed my Dynatwist intake all the way down to the lower left hand grill (it's right up against the grill).

I now wondering about "sucking" in water when it's raining.

Anyone know whether I should modifiy this to prevent water "suck" or will it be ok?

Cheers.

Adrian.

Don't see there would be any probelm with rain as there is an awful long way for it to travel against gravity to get into the intake.

Flood water is the problem if you hit a wall of water at speed AND if the engine is pulling you could get a hydraulic lock which is terminal for the engine. For that to happen water has to be above the height of the intake - 8-10 inches from ground level, pretty extreme conditions like door height.

Would it be practical to run a CAI up to the top of the engine, and then fit a bonnet with a scoop, Impreza stylee?

yes but you would:-

a look a tuuat

b get hot air (from directly above the turbo

c compromise aerodynamics

d look a tuuat

Would it matter awfully if one looked like a Tuuat anyway.

Des

in your case ....no!

Just checking.

No, still have a *clutch* of jobs to attend to, the time of day has no *bearing* and all my work is handed to me on a *plate*.

Sorry

I don't see how a percussion instrument consisting of a mounted row of wooden bars graduated in length to sound a chromatic scale can effect success. Still I shall purchase one just incase or have I just missed the point.

Des

I believe one has missed the point, shall one spell it out for one?

Perhaps he may have (and it was very well put Tavia), but I am still shocked at the eloquent reposte from one so steeped in Caravan Culture, but still unable to procure the correct nature of the written word previous.

Andy

In which case I shall endeavour to make it a litle more clear:

Goodness me, now even a could understand it

You must forgive the poor chap, he lives on the OTHER side of the Medway.

Ah, always amazes me that his sort always seem to live in the posh bits (if indeed there are posh bits within the Mudway Towns)

Mate, I wear a turtleneck sweater and sunglasses at the same time. How much more of a tuuat do you think I can look?

b get hot air (from directly above the turbo

Surely better than rainwater?

c compromise aerodynamics

We are talking about an Octavia here aren't we, not a Koenigsegg?

He doesnt!!

Andy

He told me that the area around Norf Danes way was the posh bit :confused:

And I must say that all the caravans round there did look well kept.....
