I am new to having my car sort of modified. I was wondering if anyone have issue with their intake in the winter time? Does the filter get frozen and cause problem in your CL? Please let me know

 

i ran most of last winter mainly cuz it was too cold to change it but i didnt have an problems.. u gotta keep it on so you dont loose the WOOP while your whipping shitties

need a diagram with sound clips?

 

your good man. the only problem you would have is if the filter element is completely emersed in water.

 

short ram is better in winter when its cold. cold air on demand. better then cai in winter. sr bad in summer

 

if its winter.....then both the CIA AND A SHORT RAM should work better.

right?

 

In no way, shape, or form is the shorty better then the cai in the winter or summer..... No matter how you slice it, your still sucking colder air....... I have the v2 and as soon as the cold weather started to roll around, my cl pulled harder. but to answer your question, the short ram will be fine.... like oz.one said, you need to be fully submerged for any problems... hydrolock is rare...

 

I have an Ingen CAI and plan on leaving it in throughout winter. It sometimes gets to be as cold as -20 degrees here and my CAI turns into a REALLYCAI, does the CAI sucking in that cold of air into my engine for long periods of time pose any problems to my car under these conditions? I asked this once before, but never really got a solid answer from anyone.
Thanks!

-20 degrees here??? what aer you talking about.. mine was fine last winter... what do you drive/ where a from

 

Don't know if you have ever been to Duluth or Lutsen, but it gets that cold there pretty often in the winter. I live in Uptown Mpls., but travel there every once in a while.
Despite being in the first Gen section, I drive an 01 CL-S. I actually met you before, I gave you the A-C-U-R-A off the back of my car.......

haha.. i knew i had seen that sn before.. but the picture definatly threw me off.... thanks again for the letters but i cant tell you what im doing with them because i have never seen what im going to do before.. (gotta watch out for those lurkers).... your intake should be fine but if your that worried just change it for the winter i do it just so it sounds that much better in the spring cuz im not immune to it. when are we going to have a CL meet next summer do you talk to any other locals???

 

Well, hope the letters look good for you. I was thinking of just putting something around the cone that lets some cold air in, but not all. But who knows, I'm lazy and probably won't do shit. I would be more than happy to talk to the few 2 Gens. that are in here to see if anyone wants to get together. I'm down......One dude has a really nice white TL-S.

 

do not put anything over your filter element. you run the risk of it constricting air flow and colapsing the filter. your intake will be fine in any weather. except a flood. and you shouldn't drive through those anyway.

 

oximoron = listen to dumguy

 

yeah

 

Thanks! probably wasn't do anything to it anyway. :lazy:
