mardigras, you're quick. also can't really see it in the other pic, the intake manif. gasket or whatnot blew out from under the mevi too. every charge pipe I had blew off including the IC ones behind the bumper, the IAC hose blew off off(clamped), MAF let go, etc.

cullen, you missed all this fun last night down at 11th. lets just say I put on one heck of a show

for anyone who cares: motor seems fine.. car should run later today when I get myself in the garage.

haven't been to 11th or 13th in a LONG while.
you have to check your skivveys for stains after that one? :wall:
bet that sh!t was loud

What kind of shot were you running?

DANG HAL. If you're saying u'll be running again soon must not have been as bad as it looks in the pictures. I gotta hit 11th or 13th Street up sometime

That is good it was just the manifold and not the motor. Good luck getting it all fixed.

Oh man, pics don't work :( sounds bad

Wow........that had to have been a really loud bang! Hope everything works out.

that shows you i have no clue about motors. the pictures look bad and it bent your hood like that, but yet you will have it drivable by today!

i know i guy with a 306 mustang. he was running a wet 150 shot and the same thing happed although his intake didnt break it just blew the freeze plugs, vacume hoses and all the intake hoses apart. he thinks fuel puddled in the bottom of the maniphold and a spark got up in there and ignited it. very scary stuff

thats because you shouldnt run wet shots on 5.0 mustangs, the fuel puddles in the intake runners and BAM!

why do you think dry shots are so popular with them?

Actually, the NX kit has never had any problems with puddling in the 5.0L or 4.6L GT engines...

I have friends that run that kit every day (silly bastards) with no damage at all.

Sooner or later...

couple more if anyone cares

Is that coolant in the intake?

Was this a fuel puddling issue? Sorry I haven't been following too close...

yo sorry to hear about your car i look forward to exchanging some good car stories soon. i just dropped about 14,000 into my max it will be ready soon hopefully as fast as yours LOL.

This is crazy stuff dude. That sucks that you damaged some prime aftermarket parts, CF hood, MEVI, etc...

it was purely driver error closely related to nitrous (its a NX wet setup)

and yes that is coolant sitting in the busted MEVI, but it that is from the destroyed radiator thanks to shrapnel from the mevi, maf, pipes, hood etc, all which blew into my 1mo old radiator.

valves appear visually fine, and no af in the oil.. so I think the motor will be ok. cross your fingers

What sucks even worse is that it was an MEVI, you guys know how hard it is to get those in.

not that hard anymore, but getting JUST the cover will be.

Now you and the mad Scietist are going to have sit there and rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you burnt :goofy:


What were you doing when that happened? :eek:

Got your PM will get you them Jpegs!

damn I seen a guy crack his intake matifold on dsm with his 20g that thing was pretty loud, I could imagine how loud that thing had to be!!!

tg


jebus! thats a healthy wad!

:eek: ouch is right. Goodluck man.

what kinda shot were you runnin when you did this?

What I always run... :nervous:
just too early.

Ouch -

RULE # 50!!


Hope you get that up and runnin soon man.

Oh, I was about to ask exactly how it was driver error, so that we could all learn from your mistake. But it sounds like you simply sprayed too early in a certain gear. Was that the only reason you think?

yep, split second of spray - too early. it was at 8.7psi when it blew, so def not that.

I have put 10+ bottles at 10+psi on this exact setup with no problems.

got all the junk taken care of, hood for 65$ (and I get free painting), radiator 75$, maf 30$..

(bijan gxe) That is some funny ****!!!!!!!! Do you mind if I print that out and show some friends?

Sprayed in first gear?

I am sure it would not be nearly as funny if it were your car

Prolly to low in the rpm range.

Ive sprayed on the hole with slicks and never had a problem.

Hal, I guess you didnt have an RPM window switch?

Im sure it was a higher gear. 1st gear can be sprayed out of the hole without problems. Its the taller gears that you have to be careful with that don't wind out so quick...

CivicKiller - hell nah I dont care....I didnt make it :wall:



Those F&F pointers = funny as hell
Hal blowin his mevi = not funny

coincidence.....maybe

Why is spraying in too low an rpm bad? Is that bad in a gear other than first?

I left a parking lot headed home to garage the max until it's gone. I normally NEVER show off, I pull up with the car almost idling in - in hopes to get some races haha. This was my last time the car would be out, so I figured I'd show off just once. I pulled out (with slicks) and gunned it in 1st gear - that gear is WICKED... then trouble came - 2nd gear. I let it sit, It got stuck at too low of rpm's , so the car wouldn't move and for the split second that it saw spray it created insane TQ and couldn't move. BAM.

The car gets engulfed by one giant flame (Seen from under the hood, out the rear view mirror etc). Traffic on all 4 lanes stops bc they can't see 100feet ahead bc of the smoke and I steer it over onto the sidewalk and jump and run. People run up with fire extinguishers but luckily nothing was on fire. Then the couple hour wait began for the tow truck, IN THE GHETTO in the middle of the morning.

No RPM window switch, although now I'm def a believer! haha

on a side note, Ijust picked up a new car and am getting real tempted to keep the max now haha.. SP67 is looking sooo good!
