you know you can't compress water right?
when your piston tries to compress it, the weakest link will most likely be the rod and it will snap....it happened to me on my integra sucked a lotttt of h20 through my gt32e lol
bye byeee rod....went right through the side of the block!

 

if u were ideling when it stalled then most likely ur ok, but i hope u didnt try to start it.

 

no i didn't try to start it i was rolled up to an intersection so i was going really slow almost idle i had it towed to my house took out the spark plugs cranked it by hand a few time can here water in there aswell i'm goin to have it towed to the dealership tomorrow i dont have the tools and things to fix it at my house as i'm only living here temperarily..........is this going to be expensive??

 

If you did what you said you did which is:

1) Did not start the motor immediately after.
2) Moved the car to a safe place by other means
3) Pulled all the plugs and cranked the motor.

Your next step is to get a compression and leakdown test, done by someone with know-how. The result will determine what comes next.

 

yes as stated above, pull the plugs and let it dry out... if you can stick a vac in there in any way to that also cranking it over will help ( without plugs)

 

and put stock airbox back on instead of ur cold air intake when u take it to dealer
