FD2 Performance Upgrade Options

Hydrolock .. is just a fancy term for explaining when your engine gets pregnant and is unable to perform at normal performance.

it's when your engine gets pregant with water and you end up with a busted crank

no, its a fancy term for a new infection. only occurs during wet weather.

kids,dont do it on rainy days.

[lolmclol]

Have to admit .. I am somewhat glad I haven't installed it .. when I've been on the road the last two weeks, been through a dozen car parks with nice cold water intake sized puddles >_> .. and the torrential rain haha

[butterfingers]

its overrated.

it wont suck in water unless you submerge the actual filter.

[lolmclol]

I know lol, you actually have to forcefully try to kill your car to do it, and even then I'm pretty sure logic would kick in that your racecar civic won't make it through a metre high pool of water.

what if you can't tell that it's 1m deep

some poeple have their pods so low to the ground that they're exposed through the splash guards

ultimate stupidity

At the end of the day, if your that worried about it. Stay with your OEM. Lost probably better than Sri.. and you know its safe.

But seriously.. nothing to worry about with cai. You shouldnt he driving through big arse puddles anyway.

EDIT: haha, reminds me saw some "tiiiiiiiiiittteee" 180sx last night spend about a minute negotiating a speed bump in maccas drive thru, they went over on a 45º angle, still heard the crunch of their back bumper. All I could think was "needs moar slammed they said, look mad fresh tiiiitee yo, they said". Plus the massive puddles outside of the drive thru I was just waiting for some nice sound effects ;-)

wow really felt less responsive inthe lower rpms mhmmms thats not very goood so the torque was less then usual too? mhmm what about adding a Ethrottle would that help?
now that i hear this it kinda turns me away but im not sure =s i mean i dont want to have a less responsive car

No the torque was about the same, the power of the engine wasnt lacking but there was a change in the initial response when you press on the accelerater that had slowed down and it was also jerky. Which is likely due to the reason that curtis mentioned and also the fact that the RBC and throttle body wasnt port matched for smooth air flow. I am pretty confident that if i had port matched the RBC and tuned the engine i would have seen gains through out the whole RPM range. No the E throttle would not help.
