drove through a puddle

[pcpower]

a flooded street actually, water was probably about 2 feet deep. I pressed the gas hard leading up to the water in order to gain speed and then immediately let up and went into neutral while sailing through,,, barely made it since the submerged area was about 12 feet in length.

since then I 'think' my car is okay but when I get up to 4000 RPM's there is some serious choking,,, hopefully the hydroshield on the CAI actually works.

why???????

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

why would you knowingly drive into 2 feet of water?

 

[Hypnotized]

your lucky the car is running, in the future dont drive through a lake like that.

 

[jeesley]

I did that last year... BUT NOT KNOWING IT WAS FLOODED!!! Never drive through water lol. But at about 3500-4k my car would do some serious choking but only lasted till the next morning.

itz for your entertainment, in between posting to actual mod / technical questions. :[] and it is entertaining because it sounds crazy yet it is 100% true.

it was 8 AM in the morning and I was half asleep, wasn't about to pull a u-turn and extend my commute to work on a monday morning by another 15 minutes. so into the puddle I drove.

good to hear the choking at 4K rpm's should only last a day or so... honestly though, next time I will turn my car around and take the longer route to work.

dude you're so full of it, it's annoying. Your fail stories are nothing but that, FAIL. Please sell your car and buy a prius

 

[dizzin9]

hey pcpower, how old are you and what's your job?

 

[protegericky]

i would have called off..nope cant come to work theres an ocean blocking me lol, but for real i would have drove around.

you do realize how far fetched this sounds. 2 feet of water would completely submerge the wheels. water would be roughly a foot below the doorhandles.....

 

[AutoEuphoria]

You would be sucking water into your engine at that point with a CAI (I don't care what kind of shield you had on it...the intake would be submerged). If that's true, you're extremely lucky you didn't bend a rod or worse.

I have actually done this, only with no CIA. Parking lot at work flooded and I made an attempt to rescue my first MS3 which only had 4800 miles on it at that point. Engin hydro-locked, turbo ruined, car totaled. It seems unlikely you could survive this with a CIA.

The sad part was when I did it my car was the only one that didn't make it through. Everyone else at work got out fine.

Not possible to hydra lock with a CAI. I have read many threads on this subject and it just can't happen. LOL.

either he's trolling

or is... "special".

 

[08cosmic3]

He is a she or gay. Not sure which, maybe both.

Wait for real? I thought CAI increased the chance of hyrdo-locking because it lowered your intake even further? I was always told that with a CAI you have to be uber careful of puddles and such.
