Using an AEM CAI with a Hydroshield?
Discussion
Then now is the time to take it off.
I dodged a massive bullet last night, managed to avoid the biggest ever pool of water in the torrential downpour and thought 'Phew, lucky I have that hydroshield fitted'
Car then cuts out. After some cranking (on a roudabout blocking traffic both ways!) car goes again and spits out a lot of steam. I think I've properly fked it.
Luckily upon inspection today it seems to be running ok, no misfire, getting to and holding temp and pulling fine throughout the rev range.
The AEM is coming off tonight and the standard airbox back on!! Worth thinking about if you have the same!

Sell the AEM and get a PRM from Cananda. It sits right up in the engine bay. Worth every penny and it even sounds a bit better, a touch louder and aggressive were my thoughts having had both
Sorry, I, I assumed this was an S2000 for some reason. Not sure if they do them for the EP3, it looks like they do them for the 'SI' the states had. Perhaps it would fit?

My current EP3 had one of the fitted up until earlier this year. It had an AEM down near front wheel arch but I did not realise it had a hydro shield on. Anyway I started noticing on M1 commute in the rain that it bogged down around 4-5k in heavy rain whilst trying to overtake every now and then.
Eventually got this off when in the garage and found that the shield over time had become essentially useless. Instead of repelling water it effectively soaked it up which caused less air to come in.
Had already decided to get rid of the AEM by then and replaced with a Tegiwa instead.
