Hey, post on here if you have CAI and have hydrolocked your car...

I'm interested in how common this really is...:thumbup:

 

in the last 5 years i know of only one guy that hydrolocked he's car. it was on a 98civic si. he had a CAI.

You have to try pretty hard to actually hydro lock your engine. There is a lot of cases of water ingestion, but when you hydro lock, you need new rods and pistons, basically a whole new engine.

 

Was this guy a canuck?

 

What's harder - completely hydrolocking an engine WITHOUT a CAI. I knew a guy in a '92 Celica GT that did this... the moron was delivering pizzas at night on this back round out in the country, he drove at 60 mph right into a portion of the road which had been flooded in like two or three feet of water by a local creek. The engine completed siezed, and the car still sits in his front yard, waiting for an engine transplant that will probably never arrive...

 

i either hydrolocked my engine or somthin tonight, i have an iceman CAI, hit a damn river it seemed flowin across the road, engine sputtered and died.

 

thats why i have a short ram intake i can still drive through larger-sized puddles

 

I felt dealing with the issue of hydrolocking your engine justified not to pay the $100 extra for a cai, so I always bought short ram air intakes.

 

if i hydrolocked my car tonight, would the engine even try to turn over or would it be completely dead, bc when i hit the huge puddle first thing i noticed was oil press. light then check engine and bam it died. am i totally screwed?
