well my motor seized up about an hour ago. ------- raining like a son of a bitch. guess thats what i get for aming my filter straight down. i didnt even drive through a puddle. i was driving up a hill and the run off was rediculous. time to go get wasted. :-\ on and it was a boosted gsr

Re: fucked

Re: fucked

Re: fucked
 

have a beer or million for me...build a better stronger one next time around. Oh and a better filter setup. O0

Re: fucked
 

thats why you dont run filters. i doubt it was water... oh well.

that makes two of us....

Re: fucked
 

ahahaha

ive never ever seen a motor seize up from water... haha thats so funny

i bet it just blew up

Re: fucked
 

how nice of you johnny...

Re: fucked
 

seriously... ive ran cars through gigantic puddles before. with cone style k&n filters... so many times... never hydrolocked anything... ran water through my mustang... through my crx so many times... ive never even seen this happen before.

Re: fucked
 

go ---- yourself man. i dont really care about what youve done. and im pretty sure id know if it just blew buddy, and it didnt

Re: fucked
 

johnny that was pretty gay, go ---- yourself with a rake

Re: fucked
 

why is that funny? ::)

and no it probably didnt blow up.. hydrolocking is very common. I've seen lots of people do it, if you dont have the rpms high when going through water you can seize it pretty easily.

It was a bad night for 88dx (steve) as well, his turbo ls/vtec made it about 4 or 5 miles before it started knocking. :-\

Re: fucked
 

lame. steve's car is nice too

pull the plugs and crank it over. it takes awhile to get it dry enough so that your sparkplug stays dry.. measure your pistons if you can to see if your cranks bent or your rods. if it wasent spinning to fast you may be alright.

Re: fucked
 

damn sorry bout that man

Re: fucked
 

just took my filter and intake pipe off and the cold pipe and there is water still in it. gonna take the plugs out and let it dry out maybe for a few days. most likely some forged internals will be going in in the near future along with a sc61 and 19psi.

o well. guys it was just a reason for me to get the motor built

Re: fucked
 

dont do that, your cylender walls will rust up. spray some wd40 or some fogging oil down in there atleast. keep ------- with it and turning it over. do a compression check.

Re: fucked
 

pull the plugs and turn it over by hand, if you got a bent rod or??????? it will stop turning but will go back the other way. if it turns over easy crank it with the starter and let the water shoot out. Then put the plugs in and start it, do not let it sit................. do this now ;)

Re: fucked
 

yeh try that asap... if you leave it till later you realy are fucked.

Re: fucked
 

pulled the plugs and sprayed starter fuild in and cranked it, for a little. put the plugs back in and the thing knocks like a bitch. assuming all the rods are bent or atleast two. rebuild in progess, ill get pics up once i pull the motor.
