Hydrolock?

[Johnz826]

As long as your not going WOT through deep puddles you should be fine.

Funny thing is i know someone who did that in his integra and sure enough engine stalled couldn't get it to start back up. Pulled his motor apart (a week after the incident) to find rust deposits on his pistons and cylinder walls along with water in his crank case. He was a total dumbass.

Well our cars aren't submarines and they won't run on water lol. WTF was he thinking.

That wasn't hydrolock, then. Hydrolock is the result of water not being able to be compressed in the combustion champer. It is, literally, like slamming the pistons into a brick wall.

lol, and it was built up B18C1 too.

Buy a CAI and cut like 3-5 inches off the bottom of the pipe. Its still cold air, but its not hanging as low.

And like Deev, said, the power gains and differences between CAI and SRI are minimal, at best.

And be sure to avoid major puddles as possible, if u have to drive thru one, go thru it SLOWLY lol.

Or, hit it with the DS instead of the PS.

And really, going through puddles at high speeds can cause hydroplaning, which isnt good either.

I think the main concern is that while driving on wet roads, water still gets flung up into that area of the vehicle and people are afraid that even a few drops of water can be dangerous. While it can, the proper filter, proper tube length and perhaps even a bypass valve, can prevent it from being a problem.

The filter on a CAI is right up against the metal of the engine bay. If you shorten the pipe, you just end up with a longer short ram. The filter will be in the bay.

I dont really bother at all with CAI i jus buy SRI or i mdify CAI to be SRI. That way i don't have to worry that much about suckin in water. . lol

Pretty much, lol. You could still take a few inches off the tubing and it would still hang down, outside the bay, just not as low.

I got a SRI for a reason.

good man. . .lol Not saying CAI's r bad.

ive actually brought back a d16z6 from hiydrolock.my cuzin ran in to some water
we just took out the spark plugs,put it in gear and rocked it back and forth and broke the pistons loose. let it set. then cranked it up it ran fine. till he over reved it...lol

[deevergote]

Then it wasn't hydrolocked. Water got in and probably resulted in a lack of lubrication, which seized it...

Hyrdrolock occurs when enough water gets into the cylinder that it can't be compressed, evaporated, or forced through a valve. That's what bends and breaks rods, cracks pistons, cracks crankshafts, and puts holes in blocks... You're not going to salvage a hydrolocked engine.

well of course! you gotta be careful where you drive no matter what! Same thing with pot holes! sure your car might be able to take it! but why risk it?
