Re: Question about SSRA

a buddy of mine had it on his 99 z28. i was going to buy it.. 2 days before i we were going to sign the papers, he hit a deep puddle of water, the ssra sucked up a bunch of water, and hydrolocked the motor.

Re: Question about SSRA

If i were to block off the intake hole with something while its raining, would the engine still run

Re: Question about SSRA

yeah, if you leave the front of the air box open. your not going to want to **** with your intake system every time it rains. if your so worried about it, get something else.

Re: Question about SSRA

I really wouldnt worry about it, thousands of people have it. Only a handful have had problems and its just a rare situation not really the parts fault.

Re: Question about SSRA

You'd have to drive through a small pond to get any water sucked up into the SSRA.

Like silversixx said, it's not the part's fault for getting water into your engine. Drive smart.
