Hi Guys,

Just wanting to know how much water can a VE can take, I own an Series 2 SV6 Ute.????
Where is the Air Intake actually enter the system also..

Thanks Alot...

How deep do you need to go?

Maybe do a practical test, keep pouring water into the intake manifold until a piston comes through the head. Remember to put your safety glasses on though...

The smallest amount of water will cause hydraulic lock and will pretty much put a hole in your engine block. That goes for any engine especially diesels. I don't know why your putting a commodore near water anyway? And the intake picks up down near the fog light.

Liquid CANNOT compress scientific fact.

And the intake picks up down near the fog light.

behind the headlight perhaps

behind the headlight perhaps

It's actually a bit under the headlight. Not right down by the foglight but it is lower than the headlight.

So the answer is, anything that's higher than the bottom of the front bar and you could potentially risk damage to the motor.

If your taking it in water just remove the pipe off the airbox going down into the bumper and add one that faces backwards into the engine bay.

I'd love to see a commy with a snorkel.

Hey Thanks Guys,
Yeah I was only planning on going through 0.3m preferabable less.. And yeah i was planning to undo my Air Cleaner.
Wont need to go through anymore,

I can't see how 300mm would cause too many issues. Just remember, If you look like getting in the **** te easiest way toget out is a whole heap of flooring (a la Homer).
