In the market for a SRI.. Dont want to go CAI because i plan on buying coils.. I'm having a difficult time trying to find SRI's.. The only one I've seen is weapon r and Ive seen too many rice cookers with WR parts.. So can anyone give me advice? Is it possible to turn CAI into SR without rediculous modification?

 

Injen.

 

or you can buy mine for 120 shipped
i have the Tenzo R which is convertible to CAI and SRI

I'm pretty sure the injen converts between SRI and CAI for our cars.

 

injen converts to CAI from SRI so yea go with Injen

Injen can convert to CAI.

Also, even if you buy coils, you must realize to submerge your car in enough water to hydrolock it, you'd be driving through a river.

 

i did a survey from the SL members:

seems like most of the people favors injen

 

its MUCH easier to hydrolock a car then that, a puddle can hydrolock a motor. Really depends on certain things.

I've seen a hydrolocked motor from just driving on the highway in heavy rain. But at the same time I got some friends who had no problems driving slammed with CAI's for a long time

 

You certainly can't go puddle jumping with a cold air intake, but I've been running an Injen CAI for over 50K miles and haven't had any issues with hydrolock.

Injen also sells a pre-filter which is basically a water resistant cover that you put over the filter to help prevent hydrolock from things like splashing puddles. (It won't work if your filter is completely submerged though.)

The AEM intake comes with a bypass (a foam filter that is in the piping, that if the filter were submerged in water, it would suck air through the foam filter in the engine bay instead) to get an idea of how this works, its like trying to drink from a straw that has a crack in it.

The other thing to think about is that the CAI filters sit on the drivers side... Most modern roads in america are curved so that water drains to the right side of the street (opposite location of the CAI in a tc) So you would have to go aiming for puddles most of the time.

 

I used to run the injen in short ram setup for the winters here in minnesota, it took the engine longer to warm up with the CAI and I get impatient when its 20 below zero!

My experience with it in short ram is that the filter gets dirty a lot faster because it sits right at the seam between the hood and the fender. There are also water spots on my CAI piping as well so that spot is getting water when it rains.
