GSR = done already.

That really sux, hopefully the pistons didn't damage the cylinder walls.

if you think a civic intake will fit, i have a stock one at home. i'm not too sure about the fitment, and i don't know if it'll have all the connections because it's OBDI not II, but i'm sure you could try it on saturday if you wish, lemme know

[chile]

damn...good luck, eric...

If you didnt suck up to much water you will be fine. I have a buddy that works at a dealership and they will actually take cars and dip a vaccum line in a thing of water and it cleans out all the valves.

yeah..thats what i was hoping. but i think there is other damage. it has a very loud knock. so i think i either have valve or rod damange

[deevergote]

Man, that sucks Eric! Slap that Accord intake stuff on there and hope it works. And if you can, convince them that you have a B18C5!

Either way, even if you have to build, you'll be ready to run higher boost later on. When I thought I blew my motor last week, my first thought was "well, now I can do the work I wanted to do to the internals..."

[Accord R33]

Yeah

I dont have enough of the accords intake to put it on. and i cant get to the filter where it sits to make it a short ram (the intake is 2 peices already).

so..im basicly fucked. Its getting towed to the Acura Dealer right now, and it will need to be apraised by the insurence company. As soon as they see that CAI, they are going to laugh at me.

The only defense i have is that i bought the car like that, and they insured it like that. Also, They have to PROVE that the same thing would not have happened if everything was stock, which might be somewhat difficult

[accordme93]

Damn that blows. This is why I went with a SR intake. The few more horse you gain with a CAI didn't seem worth the extra hassle. Plus when it rains here in the valley we get these huge deep puddles because of poor storm drainage. I would most certainly hydrolock the engine.

Hope you get a new engine with the insurance!

[rebels]

Dang man. I learned my lesson with my Accord when I had my cold air intake on it.

I eve had custom insurance on my car to cover all of the body work and extra parts I had on the car, and the insurance didn't cover the hydrolocked engine. Hopefully your insurance company will cover yours.

Hopefully you'll take the CAI off after you get a new motor or get this fixed.. and with the turbo the filter was in the engine bay. Intercoolers usually have many filters in them that prevent water from being sucked into the intake manifold. This is what Jose ( BustedLX ) told me when I asked about that.

Anyways, hope everything works out and get rid of that damn CAI!

Yeah, im going to put the stock airbox on after i fix the car. I like the stock one better anyway.

Intercoolers dont suck in air...its a completely sealed unit, you could submerge it in 50 meters of water and it wouldnt do anything.

Yeah, thats what I thought. I questioned Jose about that 2 something years ago coz I saw his little brothers intercooler and asked why he never sucked in water (before I knew anything about motors or what not). It just cools the air.

Anyways, best of luck man.. either way something will work out for the best.
