well.. better invest in those hydra shields..

 

/\ I thought they somewhat determines that it was not in fact water damage, and the stealership was trying to get out of paying for it by using the 3 day old flood as an excuse.

The thread stated that if the intake sucked up a sufficient amount of water then it would have hydrolocked right away instead of letting it sit there for a few days and then killing the connector rod.

 

hydro shield for sure. sounds like this guy was kinda an idiot though. He said one of the puddle were like 7 inches deep which I would never drive though. I also think honda was trying to get out of the bill. Who's knows what really happend.

All I know is get the hydro shield if you have a CAI and dont drive through deep puddles.

 

/\ Sho' nuff, agreed. I try not to run through puddles regardless.... but when I do I practically sh*t myself.... with or without the hydro shield..... *with* right now.

 

i bet no one ever told that person the consequences of driving in the rain with a cai

 

Well this sh**s on my parade. I was going to ask my dad about getting the Injen CAI tonight (if I can't, then I'll just spend it else where). Since my dad bought me the car, I have to go by his rules lol

Anyone else having problems with the CAI? All I've heard are good things but this...man...it rains alot usually during the summer here so that would be bad...never floods though...

 

dont go thru deep as puddles and you'll be fine...i swear man...a bunch of little girls on here worrying about hydrolocking...the only way is when you drive thru deep as puddles...not just when it rains. and this is a repost...correct me if im wrong.

 

Sweet, just making sure.

some times you cant tell how deep it is

 

If you can't tell how deep it is....DRIVE AROUND IT ANYWAY!.

And I honestly believe the dealership is trying to get out of paying. Hydrolock happens immediately right? Not 3 days after a downpoor. Doesn't add up.

 

anyone ever think of engaging the clutch pedal before sliding on it that big bastard?

 

I don't think that's even necessary, just don't go full throttle over a puddle.... c/s

 

That is why I bought a short ram. I would rather lose 1-2 HP than lose 4500.00 for an engine

 

just be a smart driver...avoid big puddles and just dont drive fast in the rain in general.

Nope. Ingesting water into the motor will typically cause immediate failure but if its a small amount of water it can become a cumulative process and take a little longer for internals to start failing.

The guy clearly hydro-locked his motor. And just so everyone knows the AEM bypass valves are useless unless the filter is COMPLETELY submerged in water.

 

I heard it only takes a teaspoon (very small amount) of water in the IM to hydrolock. Is that true?

i highly doubt that.

 

just for extra HP and now he's in for the big haul...sometime it's not even worth it to go with CAI just keep it stock

My favorite part was the dumbasses telling him to take off his mods and perpetuate fraud so everyone else gets screwed when Honda Corporate gets paranoid (Like SOA). No thanks........

Think i'll probably switch to Fujita SRI once school starts.

 

5G can go along ways....and plenty of poonanies

 

I got Injen CAI too and during hard rains, my car rattles...it feels like from engine...and it only happens when it rains hard. I did not go over the puddles and it still rattles and sounds like it's gonna die. Do u think I might've hydrolocked it too?
