I'll give you a hint (splash guards are worthless)

hydrolocked? a bitch ain't it.

Damn I knew it before I opened the page up. Any chance of it still working okay? Make sure you follow luckys guide.

dam!!!!!!

good luck

It doesn't looked like you sucked up too much. Good luck

I didnt take the pic of where i emptied it out...theres a lot more

heres another shot of my driveway, the big puddle ran down my driveway (lower left of pic)

man thats my only fear with my CAI ,haven't installed it yet

how much money does it cost to fix hydrolock?

god damn thats a bit. CAI may get better gains but i am sticking with my SRI for that reason there good unless you live in a nahir with lots of rain damn florida. i am really sorry aobut that bro. i hope everyhting tunrs out. fallow the guide and you shoudl be ok

We dont get a lot of rain but when we do its alot, i was driving and it just started monsooning, i had to get it off the road somehow. Water was so high my navigator could barley drive in it in some area's. "when it rains it pours"

yea ohio has some pretty heavy downpours glad i got a backup car.

dude! man this sux! I don't understand why this happens...i mean i do but its just crazy...it's so much work to fix... damn...good luck man!

people have been getting owned by CAI's left and right. fell sorry 4 u

Ooohhh, that made me cringe.

dude whatever you do! DO NOT RUN YOUR CAR UNLESS YOU KNOW THERE IS NO MORE WATER LEFT!!! I hydrolocked mine and pulled the coil packs and spark pluggs and shut off the fuel and just cranked and cranked and holy shit so MUCH water came out, the next day lucky gave me some more advice on what to do and my engine blew before I could do anything. needless to say I missed some water and had to get a new motor. but I was covered by insurance. Hydrolock is EVIL

sry man! one reason im glad i went with a SR

god damn! you sucked in that much water

thats a horror story.

im pretty sure now that the reason I didnt get all the water out the night it happened it because I bent a valve and it couldnt get all the water out..

Its back on the road...I started it and it would stall like its gasping for air, revved it for a min to burn it out and now its back to normal...this is like the 3rd time this has happened...I need TPR to start getting those magical convertible intakes out

no sh!t, dont hold your breath, im not

good to hear it's fixed. Haven't happened to my injen CAI yet, but up here in Canada all we get is snow... I don't know if I consider myself lucky or not!

that sucks man. hopefully you got it all out or your engine will blow up like forcefed's did. I think there was something about the AEM/Ebay intakes that the bend in the bottom holds water instead of draining out because one of the bends is lower than the pipping so you have a place to store any splashed on water. from the sounds of the storm though sounds like you may have actually submerged it. haven't gotten any really bad storms yet here, did have a few inches when I first got my CAI and I drove around all day without a problem though.

I hydroed my yellow celica , then I sold it Took the CAI and didn't put it on my red one , if I get a new intake it will the the Short Ram intake

I was just thinking... Since it does some damage in the engine can't you just open it up and just replace the parts that need to be replaced?
I've been doing a little reading on the subject and I know it does some internal damage, but it should be possible to replace the parts of the engine that need to be fixed rather then replacing the whole engine... I may be missing some vaild point but tell me if i'm wrong..

you tried to drive your car across a river without a bridge?
