This is the result of driving into a large puddle at a high rate og speed. OUCH!!

 

hydrolock?

 

on the stock intake??

 

Could you please share more of your story??

 

I 2nd that

 

I 3rd that... not much of a "warning" if you dont tell what to do to avoid this, or what it is we are looking at.

 

And yes, i know what the part is (before anyone cracks on me ), but i mean what we are lookin at in terms of the whole story

 

That happened to my old Civ too... but I'd like to hear your version of how this happened like the above posters.

 

i think hes determined to remain with 1 post.

 

It does not look like the stock rod... check the pic.



I got that from SGP Racing

 

Does this guy even have a Z?? For all we know, that coulda came off a 1988 CRX...

 

*sniff sniff* i smell a troll

 

I'm thinking april fools prank

 

hahah just be careful while driving!

 

Since this thread is useless already, I'm just posting so I can share my new avitar.. God, Marge is HOT!

..and yes I know my avitar changes for all my old posts, but i don't care!

 

OK, here's the story.
I work at the Nissan dealer that did the work on this car. It is a 2003 Touring, that was driven through a large puddle and sucked up a bunch of water. It has the stock intake and yes, that is a stock con rod. NO April Fools joke here!! I'm the Parts Tech that looked up and ordered all the needed parts. In addition to a long block, it also needed the MAF unit. Luckily the owners insurance took care of the tab. The parts alone came to almost $7500.00.
Any more questions?
Jim

 

How the heck did they get water in the stock intake? I mean, you'd basically have to drive through a small pond. Wouldn't the water levels have to be just below the level of the headlights?

Unless my basic understanding is just wrong, I dunno.

 

Either that or the owner switched back to the stock intake prior to taking it in for service

 

ding ding ding, i think we got a winner

 

much more likely

EDIT: BOOOOO you took my post by like 3 seconds haha
