How much water did the intake suck up? Worst case scenario its hydro-locked.

Yeah I'm pretty sureI did hydro lock it. I tryed to pull the pugs and crank it again but no luck.
There is like a small pond on the bottom of my intake.
I already have another engine to drop in to it but I'm waiting on a friend to come help me.
I'm going to tear apart themessed upengine when its out to check out whats screwed up, rebuild it and hopefuly turbo.
But who knows I'll probably never get around to it.

Why do you call bs? Lol, he has to get a new engine, and you could get a k20a3 for under $1000.

I call it because people dont just have engines lying around to swap... not unless it is like Marty or one of those guys that seem to have all the stuff they need! What is the k20a3 out of? Is that the 7th gen si? I didnt know they were that cheap... any big difference between the a3 and the a1 and a2 from the rsx?

Yea, I guess your right.

The a3 comes out of the si and base model rsx,it has 160 hp. The a2 is out of the rsx types and has about 200 hp. Finally the a1 comes out of the integra type r, and I believe it sports 220 hp.
