Induction Kits and icey weather

[Eddieb]

Do they ever freeze up with heavy frosts?

I got up this morning to put mine back on but there was a really heavy frost outside (even at 10:30!!) so it occured to me that the IK may infact freeze up! Does this happen? My IK sits on top of the engine so might be more prown to it?

i wouldnt think so as it would never freeze up completly + ur induction kit shouldnt be THAT wet anyhoo

i know my old induction kit was never slightly wet.....

i wouldnt worry about it....... just go ahead )

on the basis it should be oil coated anyway to repel water, your safe, and consider that when you drive off in the morning theres always a patch under your car that wasnt frozen - the car is enough to insulate that bit of ground, so under the bonnet isnt going to suffer overnite. might be a different story over a prolonged blizzard or something...

im still waiting on the promised global warning anyway, bring it on.
