i have a moroso cai in my car right now and its raining bad here where i live and like about an hour ago i went into this big puddle and alot of water splashed my car turned off then i turned back on and went home when i got to my house i un bolted the moroso kit and it was wet thru the inside so water got into my motor i dont know how much but my checkengine went on and my car still turns on and is idleing fine i just wanted to ask is my car going to be alright

 

My brother sucked a bunch of water up into the engine of his Jeep. It was really bad, ended up hydrolocking the motor and the pressure inside of the chamber broke one of the piston rings and scored the cylinder wall. He had to have it rebuilt later.

Just keep an eye on your engine oil level, if it doesn't drop more than usual then you should be fine(especially since it seems to be running fine).

 

opti...? you better hope not.

 

I say it should be fine, if you sucked up that much water then I would suggest taking all the plugs out of the engine and turning it over until all water exited the chamber.

 

when i had my CAI i used to suck up water alot, i don't have that panel under the cai installed, so my tires kick water all over the filter. I have never had any problems. Had a buddy that hydrolocked his and it is fine, when i opend up the butterfly it poured enough water to fill up a milk jug. You should be fine. Like FastZ said just keep checkin oil level.
