Not again with the B16 bandwagon....

My recommendation still goes to the built & boosted B20. Sleeves, Aftermarket Management, the whole shooting match.

At 7psi on 93 RON, a good 275hp / 220 tq.. a rough estimate, very concervative.

The B16 will be working very hard to lug an Integra around. 111 lbft doesn't get you much. :nono:

I've said all of this before anyway....*sigh*

Take out your motor. Take it to Arizona and let it dry out. Re-assemble.

i dont think you hydrolocked.. if you hydrolock you dont just stall out.. the engine gives a bang! you will tell cause all the guts of your car will be everywhere.. when you hydrolock you just put enough water in the cylinderes to stop combustion.. hydrolock is basically that there is so much water in the cylinder.. when the piston is on the compressng stroke.. there is enough water that its basically like the piston hitting the wall because water cannot compress. .. hydrolocking does alot of damage to your car such as put a few holes in the block or break some rods.. etc .


just pull the plugs and crank it and let the water squirt out.. good luck
