1KZ question here guys, but I suspect it is very similar to your airbox setup. I recently added a generic Safari-style snorkel. I don't plan to go deep water driving with the vehicle (nothing deeper than headlights), so I was wondering it I should seal up the airbox drain valve (rubber valve at the bottom of the airbox).
Wouldn't the vehicle shut off once the alternator/fuel pump wiring/connectors etc are submerged long before the water reaches the level of the airbox?
Is the valve helpful if driving with a front-facing snorkel in the torrential rain that we sometimes get in Jamaica? I know the snorkel head is designed to separate off the majority of water, but I'm just wondering what would be my better bet.
What I can say though is the vehicle throttle is a lot more responsive with the snorkel, I assume because I am not almost always heat-soaked like I was before.
