I have a ramhorn mani so the turbo sits a bit low and just a filter on the turbo, I didnt think I could get much water into the intake until last night. It was raining so hard and I hit a big puddle ang my car started stumbling/dieing, for like 40 feet then stalled. I waited a bit then started it, it took awhile to start and ran like crap, then it started to run fine and I drove it the rest of the way home.

next day: it runs fine but when I get on the throttle or into boost at all it will start to stumble/miss ect. and have NO power.

im just happy it didnt hydro lock but whats wrong with it now? water in the charge pipes?? help me out.

 

im sure it may have hydrolocked and you un-hydrolocked it with your starter by starting it up. if a motor sucks up water do not try and restart it. you probably messed something up/bent rod/ blown headgasket

 

thats not good... anyone else have input? it doesnt seem that seroius to me, it idles fine and runs fine most of the time.

 

UPDATE:

checked oil, coolent, spark plugs all normal, no signs of headgasket leakage.

there was some water in the charge pipes..

so mechanical damage?? how does it run fine then? I didnt think it could run right with a bent rod??

 

pull plugs, disconnect dizzy crank till all water comes out.

 

but its been running, no more water will come out that way.. thnks anyway

 

Do a compression check.
It might be running, but something internally may be bent and killing your power - like a bent valve not sealing up.

 

UPDATE:
Runs perfect... stronger than ever, maybe the water cleaned it out haha, thanks for help.
