Everybody knows that any decent engine has water all up in it! Imagine driving at night in the rain, and then you park the car for the night. When you get up, the water that was in the air filter is now frozen. The engine would be getting the coldest air!
@@somerandom7458 what do you live in Omnyakon in Siberia where it hits minus 50 degrees Celsius and the local priest complaining that it's a bit warm? Lol 😆
@dragan3290 lol, you think it has to be minus 50 degrees Celsius for water to freeze? I was taught in grade school. Try google, it might make you as smart as a 3rd grader.
3D print an air box I did it. Very effective with the right print material and you can even add a clear glass with a rubber seal to see your filter from the top!
Yep, I'm designing a setup for mine now... bought a new spool of ASA filament to print the tubing/intake horn and a wet/dry HEPA filter to be a "pre-filter" that will be mounted about 3" from the grill so it'll stop anything from getting sucked right into the air intake ducting, sand, rain etc before it goes to the K&N filter i already have.
@@NXT_LVL I already know that’s gonna be one hell of an effective intake for your car man. I wish more people went this route with modding their own car. It’s all you and it’s very sustainable with that material you are using
@@mikehoncho5360 hopefully you have a MicroCenter near you. A great alternative over BestBuy. But I the printer I have is the Creality Ender3 v2. Also you can 3D print your own upgrades for it too. But I highly suggest upgrading the printing tip with a metal one as they print higher temps easier
Bro stock intakes do this already. Box off the hot air and pull cold air from the front grill or underneath the car. Also your car is tuned for the stock intake not a HOT "cold air intake"
If possible, when you buy a “cold air” intake, try to buy a closed system with a sealed box, these ensure that hot air from the engine bay isn’t taken in at all, and it’s much simpler than drilling a hole through your headlight
A better somewhat affordable option is to see if your car has a trim level with fog lights in the bumper and buy the empty panel for it. You could attach some tubing to the hole and run that to your intake. I did that on mine and never had an issue with rain, bugs, or dirt. I was even able to use the original filter box which made connecting the tubing even easier.
I mean, this dude literally and without hesitation just drilled a MASSIVE hole in his headlight and shoved old plumbing piping into it. I'd bet anything that he doesn't have any fucks to give 😅...
Lol. That's not how it works dude. You need a massive amount of water to cause any damage at all. You would be surprised at just how much water can be injected into an engine before anything bad happens. Hell, a little bit of water injection is actually helpful for more power and cleaning the gunk built up in the engine.
@@ChefofWar33you guys are diving into this way too deep. That filter will be saturated after a mile of driving in the rain so power wise you'll actually lose power. Yes small amounts of water can act like a steam cleaner, but nobody is fixing say "dirty valves" by ingesting water. As far as power goes its not meth or windshield washer fluid so outside of some slightly cooler air temps your not achieving much as far as performance goes. For your last point yea im aware hes not dunking the engine in a pond so the risk of hydro locking the engine is slim. Only takes one large puddle to ruin your day.
@07slowbalt I drive a C5 Corvette damn near every day and the air intake for those things is actually under the car. I drive it through torrential rain all the time. I only ever have to worry about hitting extremely deep puddles. Like what you are saying. Water tends to get trapped on the filter, so barely any of it makes it in the intake. And the water that does, just decreases intake temps even further and gives a bit more power.
@@ChefofWar33 its aimed down in the nose of the car. Its not a direct hole being forced down a tune to your filter lol But yes i get what your saying. Something worth noting is whether or not your running an oiled vs dry filter. That can have two different outcomes. My 2018 f-150 has a slot between the hood for direct airflow to the gen 3 yote. My s&b intake changed the design a bit but still allows for pooling of water beneath the filter.
Those aftermarket air filters don’t do a as a good job as the paper filters when filtering out particles. If it’s not a race car it’s usually better to just leave stock intake setup if it’s a daily (especially with avg lack of maintenance I see) and if you want some performance get a k & n stock drop in instead. Usually Less heat , water , debris and sometimes engineering reasons. Depending on the car I would or wouldn’t do it but For example my car I wouldn’t it’s a 13 Mazda 3 with a skyactive engine it has 13-1 compressions ratio and is a direct injection engine that needs that factory intake system to function properly because it essentially creates pressure in the intake system past 4500 rpm and the way all the tubing it’s designed the pressure build up won’t impede the incoming air. If u don’t it can starve engine of air and cause pre detonation etc Its a long complicated subject on that car specially but just do some research before mods on your car. Figured some might find this useful.
Just put a plastic cone on the end of the cold air feed so that way the filter is inside it surrounded by the cold air coming in plus shielding it from heat.. Just a suggestion
I would be concerned when driving in adverse weather conditions. Especially since there is nothing preventing the cold air intake from being filled with water in the rain or with snow or ice in the winter. Otherwise, it's a great idea.
Yea it will work a little better but filters can only take so much air and wind if you put it on remember the air filter will dent and bring in bad stuff in engine because the air is not being properly processed in the intake unless she is tuned because of the way your engine is made it will not be able to suck in pounds of air at one’s without messing with the spark be careful out there
Used to have that car ! Back in 03’ was my second car. Haters galore having an Audi A6 @ 19yrs. old when you cane from nothing but landed a high paying job 😘
It would be cool to cut out the rest of the high beam section and do a painted cone intake that leads to the pipe (as you see on some drag cars) ((but leave the normal head light area if that makes sense)
Well I don’t need to do that My car has a specific location where the old air intake where you drive faster the more air is scooped in, I just need to angle the filter into that spot.
I imagine this is a messing around car. So, he isn't taking it on a road trip through a hurricane. This kind of stuff is what old school moonshiners did. They used what they had to make performance. It is fun to do stuff like this.
Thank goodness it has never rain en where you live. I would have made. A p-trap with a protective coat over the filtter. Or just don't drive in the rain.
@@GibbysGarageOfficial right on!! I was thinking about doing a ram jet set up on my Chevy S10 2.2 I've got a cold air intake. I made my own heat shield. I also put headers on it and gradually brought the diameter of my exhaust from 1¼" all the way up to 4" and it sounds and runs so much faster then stock. I might get a jet chip and see if that gives me a better auto shift response.
It’s almost like a stock intake has tubing to directly feed air into it, and have a box to prevent heat from going into it… It’s almost like the stock intake is a cold air intake… who knew?!
U would think u cold air intake actually pulls cold air in no it doesn’t when it’s cold out yeah but most of the time doesn’t make much a diff so I mean at least he’s actually getting air and there a filter there’s more lowkey ways to do it but fuck it
cool and all but it’s impractical, it won’t make you any more power. this is done on track cars to reduce IAT’s and mitigate heat soak while racing, no benefit from having it on a street car, which i’m assuming this is.
I got a honest question please only right answer, I got a Tacoma and installed K&N cold intake and I haven’t done what he did to his truck thinking that the rain will get to the motor and damage my motor, so basically it’s sucking hot air instead of cold air. My question is… is it safe to do this? I live in a tropical climate
Do you know how air flows? On a flat object like that more air would move over it like it’s a flat surface the only way to make that work correctly would be too make a funnel for the air to slip into. Not saying no air gets in… but not a lot either
You could have just went 90 degrees and went straight down with no cutting. And you’d get less water in your intake when it rains too. But you can’t drive it in the river anymore.
why do you say that? if any water gets in that intake at all it’s going throw his car out of wack. and possibly hydro lock it if enough water get through that hole. dipshit. 😂
😂 let this guy hydrolock his engine. I bet he thinks that water is compressible in an engine. You can still drive it when it rains, it’s just overtime bad shit will start to happen if you keep using this as a daily in the rainy season

If possible, when you buy a “cold air” intake, try to buy a closed system with a sealed box, these ensure that hot air from the engine bay isn’t taken in at all, and it’s much simpler than drilling a hole through your headlight
Now you just need a big turbo intake bell sticking out to catch the air for less turbulence if you want to make it actually efficient.

On circle track cars, we ran the filter through the hood.
Or just out the side, this was a really weird and unpractical way of doing it

lol hydrolock
Air filter box are there with the reason 😅 with that hole or not won't make a big difference unless you make a box for it
Add a screen/pre filter and build a housing around the filter to block the engine heat
The factory airbox on the B5 S4 is exceptional there is no benefit to adding a cone filter and removing the factory airbox.
First time he drives through a thunderstorm hes going to come back and make a video on how to hydrolock an engine in 3 easy steps.

Just put your "HOT AIR" intake outside besidw the headlight and just connect you piping inside
Cars come from the factory with cold air intakes.
It's unbelievable the amount of people that can't comprehend this. Most make matters worse.
