You don't need a new engine if you hydrolock. All you are doing is flooding the intake with water, quenching combustion. Guess what? Wait 5 mins, crank the engine over a few times, and presto! You got yourself a running engine. I had a '79 and and '83 Merc Capri that has an air intake that sets lower than the CAI on a tC. It only hydro locked once during severe flooding. The car was lowered. I did the above and it ran fine. N new motor needed.

Damn AEM. All of this great hydro controversy and incorrect info is all because of their product. If hydrolocking is such a problem, then why are they the only company that I know of that offers this product.
