i have a cf hood and it has no piece to block the water from going directly in the engine (like all others). so last night i was driving and it started to rain hard and my car stalled i found that the fuse in the engine bay with the little engine symbol fuze blew i put a new one in and drove to try and get home and 10 minutes it blew again. any ideas on what this could be im really hoping water just hit something and it will be fine when its dry

 

cut out the grille on the aftermarket hood and sandwich your stock louvre/grill on there.

if you need any help on how to do it, I can explain. I did the same to my c/f hood.

 

yeah that sounds like a good idea...did u have a problem with water though? i really hope nothing is damaged it hasnt happened before but this is the first time it was in the rain wit the cf hood cuz i never drive it in the rain i just got caught in it

 

My Evo didn't come with a rain protector for the stock hood. How harmful is it for rain/snow to get into the engine bay? I use a car cover when I think the weather is getting bad.

 

1. put the stock mesh on top of the hood
2. put the stock vent underneath the hood (put mesh studs through the holes in the vent)
3. put a big enough washer to cover the bolt hole on the vent and secure with self-locking nut


there you go! all you have to do is sandwich that vent and mesh onto the hood scoop lip!

 

this is what im trying to find out what happened with my car, thanks.

qwikevo thanks for the help tho man i really appreciate it. only thing with my hood now is i dont think the stock vent cover will fit i have the seibon hood but its not OEM itsl ike their cw hood and i think the vent is a little bigger than stock

 

Ah I see.

My hood is the Seibon OEM style.

 

yeah i regret not getting that one now ****

 

anyone else?

 

bump

 

still havent resolved it. anyone out there that can help?

 

i run open hood year around. havent had any issues at all...ever

even driving in the pouring rain for hours with my shearer manifold.

never stalled...never had hesitation issues...

 

so your saying water isnt my problem?

 

i dont think the water did anything. i dont have a rain shield on my hood

 

yeah but i just think its weird it chose the only night the car has been out in the rain with the hood on to happen
