I drive mine through the surf and it has an aftermarket CAI.

 

As long as it doesn't become submerged you should be ok. A guy on the DFW "hydrolocked" a 4.7L about a year ago or so as the rods and pistons did not enjoy trying to compress the vast amount of water in the cylinder, lol.

 

water is not as evil as you might think!!! we used to "steam clean" a carburated engine by pouring 1 gallon of water down the carb... as long as you dont lose combustion, (keep it running) while your letting water in you wont harm any internals...."drowning" another story!!!

 

I hear you man. At WOT I'm spraying 450cc/min of my alky solution into my throttle body.

Forget all you think you know about supercharging. There is a book by a guy named Corky Bell that you should read. Supercharged!: Supercharger Systems-- Designing, Testing, and Installation. This is THE definitive book on supercharging. Get it at your library or buy it on eBay for less than $30. I would suggest that you purchase it - it is a valuable reference. A review here - http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Book-...5/article.html - This site is a really good one...

For turbo lovers there is Maximum Boost: Desiging, Testing and Installing Turbocharger Systems. This book was written several years ago, but it will give you the basic knowledge to get the job done.

Most of you probably know about BEGi. - You can buy these books here - http://www.bellengineering.net/ -

Another site where you can learn a little bit about supercharging - http://www.eatoninside.com/

BTW - Air gets HOTTER as you compress it. Why do you think we run intercoolers??? It gets COOLER as it expands - ie - let it out of the hose...

 

No need to be a smart as$.

 

Gay-Lussac's law, its been around since 1802

 

Gay-Lussac's law states "if a gas's temperature increases then so does its pressure". So if you heat it up, it's pressure is increased. What I couldn't find is if the pressure is increased the temperature rises. The opposite of a theory isn't always true. I'm definitely not saying your wrong, but if I bring this up to someone, I'd like to have undeniable evidence.

 

It's an equation, the opposite is true as well just look at the relationship. If you need to plug in some numbers
