any problems sucking water with CAI installed?
I am wondering this before I spend the money on one
 However, it seems that nobody has complained about it so far ..

Seriously, sure it's a factor .. but I've never seen it personally.
This is extreme, like people with cars in extreme climats with lots of rain, floods, etc... I even checked my CAI once when I left it outside in a rainstorm during a 10 hour shift, then as I was driving home, 40 mins, there was no water that entered or even came close. My CAI, engine bay was dry like a Molson heh. Seriously, don't even think about it. "Just replying, trying to remove newbie title"  Props.

you could install an aem air bypass valve on the intake. the owner of aem did a test on it using his personal acura nsx. they dunked the intake filter into a fishtank full of water with the car at full throttle, and the bypass sucked in the air and no water came in. balls for using his nsx.

Get the AEM bypass valve if your really worried about sucking in any water. It costs aprox $50 and is a good investment if you live in an area with a lot of rain.

I know of two people who have ruined their engines with CAIs.
Of course, we don't just get rain here in Texas - we get Acts of God. If you run a CAI you must be careful about large puddles. Think of your car as a 140+ hp shop vac.

I don't see the Infiniti listed in the APPLICATIONS - so what bypass valve will work on the G20?

Even if you have the fender liners in? That intake is pretty covered up...I'm not saying it could happen, but youd hafta go through a puddle that was as deep as the middle of your wheel or something.

Hotshot uses a 3" diameter intake piping, so just get the 3" universal application. you can fit it without much modification.
