i have a short ram, my car was just that deep in the water, is hmotors good people to deal with fast shipping?? and how much do you think they will ship that b16a longblock to florida for?

Walt why don't you ask DarkSydeRacer if you can get that carb set up off of him?? haha j/k sorry it had to be said!:bigthumb:

hahaha, i dont know if i could handle all that technology. it takes a mastermind to set up a system like that. or a real big bull shitter. lol. :biggrin:

hmotors is quick, i got my b16 from them from cali to NY in 2wks.

with shipping it came to 1500.

wow u were really deep in water. maybe u can sue someone for damages?

what exactly on your current motor are you getting rid of, what IS your current motor?

dude WHY were you that deep in water, wtf?

www.JDMShit.com

hey.. I've always wanted to know... what do you do for a living? i'm not trying to be rude or anything.

Sorry to hear about you luck Walt. Are you gonna find out exactly what went wrong? I want more details!! :)

I must agree that I dont understand why you would be in that deep of water anyways. And if it was a must I would have taken the extra 5 mins to get out and stick the cone filter directly on the intake manifold. Sorry just my 1 and a half cent.

yea im curious, what were you trying to do, make it across a river:biggrin2:

i was driving home from work and it was a straight down pour, i couldnt see 2 feet in front of me but i was trying to make it home cause my front bumper was supposed to be arriving at 3 o clock and then this huge puddle, fuck that a lake lol just came out of no where, it was like hitting a wall. my car shut off. then i was like fuck cause i looked out the window and i noticed that the water was half way up my door and it qwas starting to leak in. so i got out and pushed my car to safety but in the process of getting out the river just kinda flowed inside my car. my car was full of water. up to the seats. when i finally got it out of the lake i called my pops and he came down there. went to start the car and it felt like something is definetly frozen. then i pulled out the spark plug cap on the valve cover and that was full of oil a long with the other 3. so my car sits. on monday it is going to be torn apart to determine the damage. if its alot i will just get a long block. BTW someone asked what motor i had and it was a b16a1 with all type r internals. and someone asked about my job. i am a assisstant plant operator for Progress Energy. ill keep everyone updated.

damn sorry to hear that. good luck on the rebuild

the way you described that i don't think a bypass valve woulda helped.:frown:

that REALLY sucks. you didn't even the satisfaction of a great race story of the blown engine :frown:

www.nippon-motors.com but, i would suggest hmotors first :bigthumb:

well somewhat of some good news, i just took out my spark plugs and tried to start it to see if it would turn over and it did. shot some oil and water about 20 ft in the air. lol. i am letting it dry out till tomorrow and i am going to put some new plugs in and change the oil a couple times and see if she will get going again. hopefully i might luck out and not bent any valves or anything but i probally did. ill let you guys and girls know some more tomorrow after i try it

i know i love it out in cali, i used to live out there when i was younger. i cant wait to go back and visit. maybe one day i will be able to move out there or something. florida sucks unless you like sun and rain.

:werd: i always thought of florida as being pretty tight until people were like what are you talking about, its so humid out there its almost like it raining:eek7: i dont care how bad it gets out here i love cali sure we are way overpopulated in cartain areas, traffic is a bitch, house prices keeps going up and up, shit in 5 years when im ready to buy a house i dont think i will even be able to afford it where i live, but 5 years ago this was the place to move cuz it was cheap WTF

well the only plus to florida is there is no traffic ever and everything is really cheap around here. but its way too overpopulated with old people.

If the head is still in good condition....get the gsr short block and just slap your head on. :smile:

Put some lucas oil treatment in it. that shit cant hurt anything. It has helped me stop burning so much oil so now I only blow 1 quart out the exhaust every 200 miles instead of 100.

Hey Walt,

Where are you at in FL? I moved to Boynton beach last year from NJ. I miss NJ alot but I have to admit...it is nice being able to drop your car over an inch and not having to worry about getting swallowed by a pothole on the turnpike:biggrin:

Where did your flooding incident occur? The rain down here is a biatch huh? It is like a flash flood and then 10 minutes later it is beautiful again!

Good luck with the motor:bigthumb:

I got a friend from here (L.A.) that opened a shop in Florida that does motor swaps. I got the number, it's his cell but I know he's a straight up guy. 727-644-4666 (T&L.... Friend's name is Kevin) Let me know what happens or what he said. Tell him Roger From Take-Em-Out Graphics sent you. Good Luck. I just replaced a blown B16A1 W/ A 2000 GSR. I know the feeling. my B16 only had like 10K on it.

well i live in a town called new port richey which is right by tampa/clearwater. which abouts are you from??

kevin sounds really familiar. does he post on tamparacing.com??

Yeah, I know port richey, I have some friends up in Tampa. I'm about an hour north of Miami on the east coast in Boynton. About 4 hours from Tampa. I am going to give Kevin a call soon to see where he is based out of. If you talk to him first, send me a pm and let me know where he is at. Thanks!

Kool, I'll call him on Monday and give him the heads up that people will be calling for motors. I don't kow where he posts, but he is a good friend of mine in your area. Good Luck!

727-541-4430 T&L Motorsports is the name of my friend's shop in Florida. I told him to expect calls on motorswaps!
