anyone ever have water in their IC core LOL?

[devil_child]

So, I pulled my engine to redo some stuff and a wire tuck right, and am taking off the old intercooler. When I pull the hot and cold pipes off, water comes spilling out of it.

I think that was the cause of my sputter problem under full boost....

Anyone ever seen this before. I'll get a pic up when I can find my damn cell phone

condensation build up possibly, idk i had lil oil

[Darius]

If it is just a little then it's probably condensation.

[devil_child]

no no no like a good two cups full of water.

[StricNyne]

did u drink it ?

[Joe]

no no no like a good two cups full of water.

wtf?

was it water or coolant?

[devil_child]

See I thought coolant at first too, but it was straight stagnant water. We have had some serious rain and snow lately, but my hood is never up outside, and I covered my intake when I washed my bay...

[rb25drag]

What did you cover the intake with when washing it? Possible it still leaked through if it was just a cloth.

[Darius]

Sounds like he tried to cover it with a funnel

[devil_child]

Close but it was actually an APC airfilter. You know for that jdm-tyte flow restriction.

No, I cover it with a bag, then tape it around the intake.

[StricNyne]

seriously that was a clsoe call , i had a lil blow by oil in my fmic (actually cuz turbo was blown) but 3 cups of water is crazy, i would check for leaks near coupliings and things of that nature

[devil_child]

thats the thing, I've checked for leaks before but nothing..... Meh I'm not too worried about it.

With that much water I would be pretty worried. It is normal for a IC to produce a little condensation internally. Anything accumulated over 200ml could be potential engine failure.

[Darius]

I fail to see the connection between water in the intercooler and a failing engine besides one causing the other. There is no physical means for water to enter the intercooler unless the turbo is somehow blowing it in.

[Shocker]

or if the car was mounted own its *** with the hood and front bumper removed in a heavy down pour......

maybe your friends are playing tricks on you?
