plus the rotary doesn't hydro-lock like boingers. You just get some steam out the rear.

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol

Plus the filter and the sock are are pretty good at repelling water too... short of submerging them in water, it mostly rolls right off.

Ok, been on the track since fitting this fitter, and its all good, The AME has made a big difference.
I got a mate with a rx8, which has a piggy back ecu, racing beat air duct and filter, no cat, no air pump, and a few other things. (for pics, of trace day, please see NZ tread) He used to be a far bit faster, Now theres very little in it.
This would be the biggest power gain I've bolterd on

Long term, I want to do a port job on it, I know there's little gain doing this, well not as much as the pre rx8 motors, but 10% is a gain, would like to play around with the setups that control the inlet manfoild lenght, and the 6 ports controls, as I think there may be some gains??
AS far as bolt on, Light Fly Wheel, slighty biger wheels, would like to get the rest of the AutoExe kit.
May look at a Small turbo kit-- may be..

Good deal, thanks for the info. No, no rivers I just was worried with it's location that rain might be a problem.
