Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

Florida had one of its typical monsoons yesterday and the roads were covered with about 6 inches of water in most places. I was lucky enough to find a spot in the road that decide to wash out making the water about 2.5 feet deep. As soon as the front of the car hit the water so did the air filter. To make a long story short engines dead as of now i no longer have a job cuase i delivered pizzas. I dont know what im going to do I might have everything for sale in a couple days depends on how pissed i still am and what i decide to do whether it be a new car or a new swap

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

take filter off drain water, take plugs out and blast a hair dryer down there. check plugs or replace. and try to fire her up.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

yeah were going to try that im going to tow it to a friends house tonight but its locked it wont turn over at all so im doubtful

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

sometimes this works (if you're one of the lucky one), sometimes it doesn't. you could have snapped a rod, cracked a cylinder, etc., etc. when i hydrolocked mine, i blew a hole the size of my fist in front of the #1 and a hole the size of a quarter in the back. but yeah, if you don't see any holes in the block, maybe theres hope and try what crx88 said.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

take out the plugs and crank it it will shoot the water out if it turns over free you might be ok. good luck, hondas hate hydro locking.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

It happened to me, im in Orlando, and it worked for me a few years ago, I turned off the car as soon as it happened and tried to crank it again, nothing would move, I was like crap, then I did that water came out, I bought new plugs, and the car ran perfectly fine until I traded it in for the WRX. It might work, let us know.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

damm douche, that sucks. goodluck fixing it. let us know what happen.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

just hope it doesnt look like mine, hole in one of the pistons with a valve stuck in it and two of the head "cylinders" are scared to hell

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

thanks mike ill check into it if the motors fucked ill find out either tonight or tommorrow

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

hahah,

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

drain the water and you might be fine. We did this in my buddy's Supra. We drained out like 10 gallons of water and it runs fine. We also flooded out a Jeep, however that caused 2 rods to snap and the heads to warp.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

my brothers d16z6 met its end in a deep puddle. threw #2 rod through the front and back of the block destroying the girdle and half of the oilpan with it.

(i guess technically it didnt throw the rod through the block, but snapped it in half and then swung it through the block..)

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

Shes done

head is warped, Valve cover is cracked and the top of the #3 cylinder broke off and welded itself into the piston im sure theres more but we quit cause the neighbors were getting pissed and there wasnt any point

Were dropping a 200,000 mile d16y7 in today so i can work tommorrow

It smokes like a son of a bitch but ill be able to work until i get a replacement sometime with in the next month.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

Sounds like time for a built d series

snotsex and stevemode better watch themselves

new setup will be completed around summertime expect a big write up and pics

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

sucks man... good luck with the project.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

Gagels have engines from $300-$900 for d16y7's give them a call you might find a better deal if u tell them u want the cheapest running d16y7, maybe got one with a litte more miles that the ususal ones they sell?

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

avoid the water puddles this time huh...

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

one word bypass valve, assuming ur not turboed

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

---- that, two words, 'short ram', the extra .5 h.p. that you get from a cai as opposed to short ram, is not worth the chance or blowing your engine, by pass vavles only work for minimal amounts of water.

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

well according to aem their bypass valves are for major water submersion where the filter experience major pressure drop so ur wrong i think it would work for little water unless there was a major pressure drop

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

I had a greddy kit - bluebox + afc on it I paid 500 total for everything and i already have a buyer for 750 minus afc

Engines in it runs like ---- and smokes bad but it will get the job done

I called Gagels mike but they are out of y8's might go with a y7/y8 mini me

Yeah ill try to avoid puddles smartass ;)

Starting new setup within the next few weeks bitches

Re:Engine + Water=Im fucked
 

yeah i thought u had a y7 yeah y8's probably cant find for less than $800 so good luck on that one or just throw in a y7 for now
