I put this here as opposed to the lounge in the sincere hopes that all of you turbocharged tinkering home mechanics don't do something stupid like this. I'm sad this was on a Mazda. At least it wasn't a rotary. The list of things wrong is far too long to list. This is almost as classic as the S2000 owner who installed the nitrous nozzle in the valve cover. Please people, if you want to modify your turbo, don't do it this way!

haha, thanks Fred. That's hilarious. "What's all that extra noise??" Haha

Where's the one about the S2000 owner who plumbed nitrous into his valve cover??!! I want to read that- sounds even funnier!

The S2000 owner, completely ignoring what everyone said about the reason why he wasn't gaining any power, eventually used such a large shot of nitrous that he froze a camshft under full shot which made it brittle enough to physically snap! I'm waiting to see the outcome of this turbo and engine.

OMG! and its an aussie, how embarrasing!

oh wow...... im speechless

how shyt that S2000 story is even funnier! Got any links to it? Did he do it on a forum?

Love the mx6 community responses, feels like home.

Hopefully the guy will keep everyone updated when it finally disinigrates.

Not to mention what it's done to the turbo, the weld jobs are CLASSIC.

Is it me, or do S2000 owners abuse the hell out of their cars? I know one here in Conroe who has gone through 5 or 6 clutches (and associated hardware) in only 30,xxx miles or so!

funny how that guy hasn't responded in awhile. he says he's going to be fabricating some sort of cover for the charge pipe/turbo. he's probably looking for a motor to replace...

you think you've seen everything, then someone surprises you...again.

thats pretty scary looking!

I think he would have a better chance making it with lego instead

Has the link to video been taken down? Cant seem to find it.

Nevermind. I found it.

Ha Ha!! WTF?? I needed that this morning. This is my new Fail sign.

holy fucked-up Turbo Batman!!!
thanks Fred, I needed that. :rofl:


(I can't wait till MM sees this) :FIREdevil

Copex is my new hero. I'm going to go do that to my Turbonetics turbo because I want to hear the air molecules collide...

haha, right on queue!

Jesus Tapdancing Christ copex, you're an idiot.

My favorite quote!!!!

holy god, thats even worse than me!

haha amazing workmanship there! :D

:rollingla

ROLF! Nice one, Jason

At least this "Copex" guy didn't weld extra blades to his impeller, or he could toast his engine pretty quick. At least like this, if one of his shity-ass welded on blades comes off, it will just fly down the downpipe

This had me gasping for breath!

Surely it is a joke?

How th' heck has it not buggered itself yet?

I feel so much dumber after looking at that...

Gee. I wonder why he hit's 5psi earlier now.:uhh:

wow. just wow....
seriously.. wow...

For some reason this comes to mind:

Why's that thread only 3 pages long? The original thread that I saw went on for many many pages with more detail about what he tried and the final outcome. Maybe he posted the question in more than one forum?

lol, nevertheless, that is funny as hell

wow that is pretty bad, two guys sharing their dumbassity on their cars. they should have their own club for home made go fast goodies. lol

damn it all, I'm not that stupid yet? doesn't anything I do qualify? :D

And another one has drown in the gene pool, some peoples kids. "I'm so proud of little Johnny. He wants to be an engineer. He likes making things."

hahaha.

"But it's on the intake side of the cam!"

ROLF!

A for effort?
