Hydro lock

[owens14]

Hey guys
On Friday I was in the wrong place at wrong time
One way road flooded roads. No one was letting me
Turn around or anything was a one way road tried
To go around but sucked water through my injen
So today I took plugs and ticked car over by hand got rid of
All the water and done compression test
All 4 where around the 200 mark so I was pretty happy
Doesn't seem like rods are bent theirs no noises no nothing
Starts first go
I have to do an oil and filter change tomorow
Because my oil was milky so had water in it
By I realised tonite that my oil light was on
If not changing the oil and filter don't fix it what could it be
Oil pressure switch or a wire
Thought I would just share the shit of a weekend I am having
Felt like crying
So just everyone who has cai just be careful driving
In the wet weather

Have you checked the oil level?

[owens14]

Yeah oil level was fine
Just finish doing the oil change and the light is off now and car is running fine

And this is why you dont run a CAI pipe.

Should have changed the oil before you even thought about drivjng.

Changed Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter, Spark Plugs.
That's what i would of done.
Suggestion & Solution - GruppeM or J's Racing Intake.

This is one thing I'm worried about.. planning on getting an injen cai for a base model dc5 but the last thing i need is hydrolock!

Would a J's Racing intake on a base dc5(auto, lol) give similar gains to a injen cai?

Why is it better at avoiding hydrolock??

Essentially for an intake to be designated CAI it must have access to fresh cold air outside of the engine bay.
SRI = Short ram intake is basically air filter on the intake arm. Generally if something is exposed to cold air, it is also exposed to water/rain.

Dont bother modding a base dc5. You wont see any improvement or it will be neglible compared to the coin you spent.
Only thing I'd mod if I had to would be suspension and handling.

Apart from your particular case, which is a rather rare occurance, you gotta
Be Doin something pretty ****en stupid to get water in through the CAI.
