Would it hurt my evo any if i drove it in the rain? being as with the intercooler induction pulling any water into the engine.

 

if anything. im pretty sure water getting in the intercooler is good

 

Short answer: No

Long answer: Even in the worst conditions, like a car wash directly spraying into the bonnet, your engine and exhaust will be just fine. Lots of steam sometimes but nothing else.

 

As long as you don't have a really low mounted cold air intake everything is fine, water in the intercooler does absolutely no harm at all.

 

if your intercooler has holes in it theres a problem

 

Is this a legit question?Cars are made to drive in all kinds of weather,i mean come on man.

 

just wanted to make sure. 1st time turbo'd owner

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

lol a car that is mass produced better be able to handle rain or I think there is a serious issue

CAUTION: NOT CAPABLE OF WET CONDITIONS

 

you will be slower

 

Seeing as how the intercooler doesn't actually take in air, you'll be fine. The only risk is if you go in water deep enough that the intake box is submerged but if you did that you'd have bigger problems on your hands than a blown motor. It's an evo not a wussy car, it was made to drive in sun, rain and snow.

 

I wonder how they Rally these cars with all the water and mud on the course,they go around the puddles i guess.

 

Don't do it, your car will melt in the rain.

 

lmao... i thought the same...

 

Unbelievable. Some guys don't deserve an Evo. You just might be one of them. Harsh, I know. Really, though. Come on.
