Vararam anti-hydrolock modification
I just ordered a Vararam and will be installing it within the next few weeks. My only concern is the one of posible hydro-lock due to water injestion. For those of you that have a Vararam, do you think that it is feasable to modify it to prevent this? :confused:

If you are that handy to install what you are talking about, then give it a try:), sounds a little 007 like:), but, I would seriously consider another intake if you are that worried to go through that modfication to it.

Re: Vararam anti-hydrolock modification (Skyguy^^)
I think adapting a AEM air-bypass would be the best bet... Sports Car Compact (no flames please :blueangel: ) did a review on it and it worked quite well. Yes the vette has a bigger appetite for air then their NSX test car, but the vararam also has a much larger surface area so water shouldn't be drawn up with the bypass open.

Perhaps I sounded a bit overly cautious concerning the Hydrolock thing, but after reading a few bits and pieces on the forum concerning this, it got me to thinking about it.
