lol
i found out like 2 weeks ago that my AEM CAI is around the height of the half part of the front lisence plate. which is pretty high.
from that day on i never worry about hydrolocking.

^^^That's how I think. I know you're joking, but my engine is 80,000 miles old and a brand new one is at say $6,000 would make me sell my car. Thats's good news. I have yet to blow my engine due to my CAI and the 5 inches of snow, torrential downpours, and the torrential hurricane like weather that I plowed through at 80+ MPH on the highway passing cars like they were standing still and hitting lift. The myth of hydrolock has to end it won't happen unless you are realy a moron.

Tell that to the people who hydrolocked their motors going though small puddles. Water will not behave predictably all the time. A certain speed in a certain way could be all it takes.

I also don't have a bypass valve and I have been through some BIG puddles. I've even cleaned my engine and never covered my CAI. I guess I have the best luck in the world or somethin ![spineyes spineyes](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/spineyes.gif)

Does it have any chance to suck any bit of water so that over the years the water build up and will mess up the engine?

last time i cleaned my engine i had a problem with my stupid belt ![thumbsdown thumbsdown](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsdown.gif) You probably dislodged some grease or oil & it ended up on the belt. Or you just just got it wet & it squealed for a bit. That's pretty normal.

One time i had to go through a huge puddle of water there was no way to avoid it and it killed my car, it just shut off. ![eek eek](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/eek.gif) but then i just started her back up and drove out of it. I think what happened was that the cai was submerged in water but the motor could tell it wasnt getting air so it just killed it. ![confused confused](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/confused.gif) But no damage was done thankfully.
