bypass valves.Just a myth. do they really work.LOOK!
hey guys
i have an injen cai intake i want to prevent hydrolocking
i believe that the aem bypass valve is the only bypass valve on the market that will fit the injen cai
do bypass valves really worrk?
if my filter hits a puddle will the bypass valve save my engine?
does a bypass valve cause you to loose power?
what other brand bypasss vlaves will fit my injen cai?

Yes, bypass valves work. The only way a motor can suck in water is if the filter becomes fully submerged. If any portion of the filter is exposed air, the motor doesn't possess enough suction to lift a heavy column of water. If the filter becomes submerged and a bypass valve is installed, the change in vacuum within the intake pipe will open flaps on the bypass. It's simply a case of the path of least resistance.
IMO, intakes a worthless on these cars and do more harm than good. A bypass valve will disrupt air flow in the intake pipe because the valves are not air tight.

The Bypass valve is a good invention but in the past unless they have fixed a problem there were known to fall apart and cause pieces of it to be sucked into the engine. I am not sure if this was fixed or not but I would look into it.
Several intakes make power (depending what kind of intake you get) on this car and it has been proven many times. If you want to keep a intake, look into something that won't suck up water like the Stillen or JWT.

My 04 G35 did not have a screen, neither does my 05. Maybe the Type1 engine does but not 2004 and above.

ebuy929, Don`t worry you got 2 in 1 a short ram and a CAI in the same time i picked Nismo CAI because of the bypass valve and after installing it i just found out that its so so useless, kills the nice sound of the CAI :/ and it seems to be loosen some ponies, if i have had the chance again i`ll definitely get Injen MR

My late first series 03 is a Type II, not Type I.
