I'm new to this whole s2000 thing. Just got mine last month. I'm just curious but can you get hydrolock on a short ram intake. It seems like all of the stuff I've read is on CAI in regards to hydrolock. And if anyone could suggest a cheap short ram intake I would appreciate it. Thanks

 

If you got hydro lock on a short ram intake, then you have a flood in your engine.

 

No, only on the intakes that extend the filter all the way down low into the front bumper area (unless of course you drive in a lake, but then you'll have more things to worry about).

 

The stock intake is a type of short ram. Why would you spend money on an aftermarket one that has no airbox and would suck in ALL the hot engine bay heat instead of just a little bit like the stock one does?

 

The PRM is kind of like a short ram, makes it sound nice, but I bet it performs worse.

 

 

haha!!! thanks for all of the info, it sucks be a newbie. but anyway so I'm guessing the CAI is the only way to go then.

 

Yes, or if you want to keep the stock "short ram", then look into getting a "snorkel".

 

just take the lid off the stock airbox. Sounds sweet and wont hydrolock.

 

but you'll lose power.... it has a lid for a reason....
