edrach Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 A friend of my son, managed to trash his engine fording a stream. View the carnage at http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=864. Sad demise of a 2003 Baja engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Wow, total destruction. I assume he cannonballed the entry and sucked in a bunch of water at high RPM's? Water doesnt compress well in a engine, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 That's why I approach any mudholes/water crossings at slow speeds until I have a snorkel! That is any ugly aftermath! Time for the Turbo baja upgrade + a snorkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceyWV Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I hydrolocked my first car, but it had 230K miles on it, so it wasnt a huge loss. But ever since then I'm pretty terrified of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Ouch. It's not supposed to look like that.. right?... doesn't the baja have it's air intake right above the radiator too? so that bow wave just goes right in? :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Ah a little duct tape, jb weld and it will be fine All I have to say is talk about some bent rods. Warranty isn't going to cover that! Ouch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 You really need to have a "Graphic Content Warning" Those pictures are really gruesome:slobber: I was thinking of that; just didn't get around to it. Actually, my pics are milder than the reality. I saw the engine up close and personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Did it still run? I ask because my EA82 that hydro'd at 4k rpm still runs, but makes threatening noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
