Hydro-locked my car
#31
Heh I wish it were that easy, I had three different adjusters involved with this for some reason, 2 ive spoken to personally. The other one I guess just had his name thrown in for no reason maybe to confuse me but im calling them in the am to get some clarification.

I'd be shocked if the engine got hydro locked running through ~18" of water with a completely stock intake system. Did you have a definite root cause finding that the engine itself was damaged? I'd recommend that if it's not too late - would be sucky to have to swap your factory original (yet good) engine for a used engine.

Right so a number of the guys at work are telling me to sell my g after I get it back. Theyre argument is ill nvr be satisfied with it just knowing it has a different engine. If it runs perfectly I dont see why ill have any issues keeping it.
Now my car will have depreciated even more because of the engine replacement, correct? Im wondering what I should do...

so i got my car back and it does indeed run pretty good except for the fast intentions exhaust sounds like poo, super raspy. i think the uprev tune is doing it, what do ya'll think?

its def the recording, its quite a bit louder. im uploading a hopefully better video. i seem to notice my 1st gear not engaging smoothly, kinda bogs down before i get moving. feels like when you activate the vdc but the slip light doesnt come on and it does it regardless on how hard i press the gas. this is from a dead stop. also when making the recording i tried to rev it all the way up but it just hung at like 5k rpm...

I'll bet there is built in rev limiter at a dead stop. Not to worry. Does it rev over 5k on the road?
I'd hate that exhaust. Raspy = nasty. Probably well-made and others may want this. Not I.
Was the exhaust and tune a mod after the engine swap? Or was everything simply switched? I'm confused.
