Cai mods and the recent wet weather

[anonymous-user]

Has anybody had any issues running in (very) wet weather on the motorway?

I have the 'extra pipe' mod on my air box, k&n filter, and the big bore maf/tb pipe (and also recently, the wrc remap :) )

Was really bucketing it down, lots of spray, the engine started misfiring, and the man light cam on. A few minutes later, as the weather cleared, it went off and all was normal ... i.e back to very fast again ;)

My HP Tuners software is down at the moment will the ecu have stored the fault code? (probs with my serial/usb adaptor, my pc does not seem to be able to handle the speed of the data transfer, pc crashes)

I have been running the mod for a year or so through all types of weather and not had a problem. Shame you could not share the fault code with us I am sure there is a way to get the fault code out using the trip computer switches, maybe that is the way forward.

I had problems in the wet on the M25 but that was trying to join from a sliproad under full throttle at about 70 *cough* in 3rd and going sideways with the "low traction" light on the dash. I thought that TC would cut in but it seems pretty useless at high speed still it all means bollox anyway since my driveway contains nothing Holden related anymore !!

Excellent, why would you want it to cut in? Sideways is good. At low speed in snow/ice sure. But at high speed it will stop spirited driving. Though I guess you could turn it off if thats what you wanted.
I think things like TC look at many sensors to determine whether or not to apply braking, road speed, throttle position etc, Im guessing that in the wet at that speed the sensors didnt decide that braking was required.
Make the car "fun".

I drove through VERY HEAVY rain a few weeks ago (you may have seen on TV that 1/2 of the N Yorks Moors was washed away) and I had no issues at all.

As I live it the wet and cold north I have had experience a variety of weather and no issue (other that the car wouldn't move in 6" of snow hehehe).

That would worry, me...... What could you have thats different to cause this????
