For those who has a CAI on the car..
what do yall do to make sure that the engine will be running fine in the long run??

after driving in the rain for hours yesterday, i'm sure it suck in a little water...
if i keep this up, wouldn't it damage the engine over the year??

will that damage the engine over time.
anything i can do to make sure the engine won't die out on me one day??
is there something like a yearly check-up thing i should do??

not sure if i'm making any sense or not..

any suggestion or idea please..
thanks..

 

Sucking in a little water as the engine is running is no big deal. It just gets turned into mist and gets burned up. Remember "water injection"?
If you park the car out in heavy rain, then you need to plug the hood gutter hole and get or make yourself an "umbrella" to put over the filter. This is for the AEM or Injen type of CAI where the filter lives behind the fake air duct in the front bumper. You don't want a huge amount of water to collect in the first part of the intake tube and then get sucked up when you first start the engine.

Most CAI filter are of the K&N variety and must be cleaned and re-oiled on a regular basis. This depends upon how dusty and dirty your driving environment is.

 

thanks xviper!!
i do got the hood gutter hole plug and clean/re-oiled the filter when it get dirty.
