fuck i hate cunts that sprout this hydro locking bullshit.

In all of my cars i have had a pipe that ran directly from the throttle body/intake plenum mouth all the way down to the bottom of the engine bay, pointing straight down or forwards, and literally right at the level of the splash guards under the motor.

Ive driven through puddles that would have come up nearly to the bottom of the doors, and i never once had this problem.

In order to hydro-lock and engine, it needs to ingest nothing but water, for a good 10 seconds or so, and the only way this is going to happen is if you are parked in deep water free revving the engine.

It takes some simple common sense that if you think you're gonna be at risk of sucking up water, you get off the pedal, and just coast through the deeper water.

As for ingesting any water at all, please go and research water injection, and tell me that 100 years of experience doesn't mean as much as the knowledge of honda fan boys.
