Dom: You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?
Extra: You Tell him Dominic. Get out of here
Dom: Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.
[closes bonnet of car]
Dom: Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.
[Crowd cheers in agreement]
LOL!

MM and Flashwing said they could feel the concussion in the house. It was a big one. But the intake only blew into two pieces.
I'll go back in the morning to Ray's and swap intakes.

MM looked over and even said "I bet he blew up another manifold again."
So I head for the door and sure enough there's Easy halfway up the block with his hood open and the car is dead. I couldn't believe it.
First thing he said to me was "there wasn't as much of a flame this time!"

Wow, seriously that had me laughing for quite a while. I was sitting inside Charles' house when we hear Easy floor it and spin the tires up the street following by BANG BANG! It sounded like he ran into either a 747 or a massive garbage bin!

Well......at least he didn't blow himself up. Sorry about your luck Easy.

So let me get this straight. You've blown many UIM's and precummed on your nos sprays several time, yet your motor is still running strong? shiiiiiit, I'm about to buy me a BHR nos set up. 
How much are these UIMs? what is the cost whenever something like this happens?
Also, it doesn't harm the engine when something like this happens? Is it because of the awesome rotary power that you can take nos backfire? I know if it was pistons, you would have to replace the whole block.

To much load and not enough rpms/vacuum.
If the intake is engineered to "blow off" under extreme pressures to release excessive compressed O2 it would be inherently safe/r. Question still lies in who has the skill to engineer one of these? There are a lot of complex shapes involved, someone who knows of welding aluminum might be able to get the complex curvature and MAYBE outengineer Mazda's design.
Pop off valve research in progress.........

Thanks I have one 4 port and a few 6 ports around. That was a 6 port UIM. I'm going to put the 4 port UIM back on.
Right
Maybe.

A 10 PSI pop off valve with a large enough flow might do it....
The tough part is the speed of pressure increase - it can be near instantaneous in the grander scheme of things.
I wonder if you can rig the TB spacer to lose the o-ring seal completely or add a burst disk like we use for scuba jugs.....

This is why we test our products. We want to know the limits, If I was to blow the engine I would find out why. It's called research and development. There is a big difference in making a product from scratch and selling another companies product with no knowledge of it.
I do not tell a person something will work and not have them work as described.
As for you posting in LasVegas Mazda about the coils being garbage,, bring it here Gilbert. Don't hide in your home town thread.

I use to consider you a friend Gilbert. Now,,,,,
