yeah dude...looks i see some oil in that water too..

death to 56k sorry to hear

wow lucky i hope your car is okay, cant wait for the writhe up, ive been wanting to take out the intake manifold to add the hondata intake manifold gasket, ill check in about 2 more days.

thats only what spilled out when i pulled off the manifold. there was twice that amount that I dumped out outside the garage lol

and yeah there was oil mixed with the water somehow still investigating everything.

I'll have more pics tonight or tomorrow.

good luck bro!!

that thing was pretty dirty lol. It'll cause a poor idle and will also cause the car to rev by itself.

omg! that sucks. great pics though. will be a great writeup. hope everyhting turns out ok

damn man... i ordered an AEM cai today i'll be sure to get a bypass valve and not drive my car in the rain, does the bypass valve eliminate all chances of hydrolock or is it just bs?

I'm sure it helps. I dunno if I would 100% trust it though.

bolts

tb half out

ay, i can't believe that happened to you

Best of luck; hope its going well. Great pics.

damn Mike, that really sucks. I hope you know how to put it back together

good luck

Man Mike that sucks, sorry to hear that happened to you.

BTW, did you use TB cleaner on the IACV?

I still can't get over it, out of all people it happened to you bro.

Wow... i just got my injen cai... it's short ram but i'm still giong to keep my fingers crossed when it rains... Sorry bro! I have a silver celi so i feel your pain...

how deep was the water you guys have been getting a lot of rain lately. sorry to hear that. that doesnt happen to often with the celica. i know guys with CAI here in VA that dont even have under carriage plastics, and they never hydrolock.

holy sh*t, im sorry dood

wowow mike...omfg...that sucks so bad...hope everything works out for ya though

any word on the install guide

o man mike sososo sorry to hear that. hope things get better for ur car
-minh

finally, i know why my engine is revving itself.

did you drive through a puddle or what?

back from the dead!

man that sucks. i just about had a heart attack last week. my under plastics are off and it was raining. the car started bogging down, so i went to a lower gear, still no luck. just about back home and it got so bad i almost stopped, but the house was in the distance, so i went for it. luckily i made it. i took the intake filter off and water ran out. i'll never do that again. it was only raining. no puddles, just water slinging up. of course my under plastics were off on that side due to some modifications for my new bodykit. sorry for the bad news. i know how you must have felt. i think i forgot to breath for a minute.

if your worrying about hydrolock and get a bypass valve just get a short ram instead because a short ram will be as useful as a CAI with a bypass valve but for less money and still a lesser chance of a hydrolock

that sucks

btw the car lived after this some good pics in this thread.
