How much water is too much, - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am thinking of taking out the orange turn signals on my S13 hatch, and fabricate a fiberglass ram air system out of those holes.  I am concerned however about when it rains.  Water will be comming directly into the ram holes, and might get sucked all the way up to the throttle body.  So i am wondering how much water normally gets sucked into the engine during a heavy down pour with a CAI?  I know a small amount has to get sucked up do to the velocity of the air comming in, but i can't safely estimate how much.  If anyone has any ideas please feel free to comment.

If i can get this system to fit and can actually learn how to mold fiberglass, i will take pictures of it installed for everyone to see.  I am going to poste a topic in the off topic forum about molding fiberglass if anyone knows about that!

thanks,
ethan
