Good lord!! Sorry to hear about your loss, and it's all because of a CAI? Damn, I'm gonna have to invest in a bypass valve, I aint' gonna have no water gettin in my engine!

luder94si · 01-10-2003, 11:55 PM

You weren't running a turbo or nitrous at the time? WOW - how much water were you driving through? Sorry about your loss, but the details might help save some of your fellow H23 luders....

knock sensor is on the block, above the oil filter, and right below the head. It takes a huge socket to get out 27mm i think...

nuro · 01-11-2003, 03:04 AM

what happenned? that looks bad man sorry to hear it...

mike95 · 01-11-2003, 03:16 PM

MR.CLIFFORD · 01-11-2003, 03:20 PM

IMO the bypass valve is crap, in theory it seamsâ€™s it would work though. Although, the video on the AEM website is crap because they totally submerge the filter in water causing the butterfly valves to open in the â€œbypass valveâ€?. Now how often will your filter be totally submerged? Does it still work when your filter gets doused in water?

Just don't drive through puddles.

fleshbox · 01-12-2003, 11:34 AM

ha... when I ready the topic I was expecting to see a huge hood scoop and a supercharger...

Sorry to hear about it, but at least now you got a valid excuse to get the H22

Crate · 01-12-2003, 01:31 PM

ya, that almost happened to my roomates GSR. he got lucky. you didnt. sorry to hear man.

VTEC Shore Lude · 01-12-2003, 02:13 PM

The bypass valve will only work if your filter gets completely submerged. So its worthless...u shouldnt be driving in that much water to begin with...the stone gard should do a good job of keeping and splashed water out...u just need to be carefull. How did ur intake such up enough water to do that???
