*bang* Blew Up The Intake Piping

[Keeper]

Ow, yesterday my plugs were running a bit crap after my mate had borrowed the GTR, so I took it for a run up Mt beachmont, set the boost to limit at 1.2 bar as usual, and part way up the hill

*BANG* the loudest what i thought was a backfire went off, but came from the front, the car was still runnning good, but as soon as i slowed down enough to use the 3-4rpm range it started running very rough so i assumed my plugs were just fowled a little more, anyway got home and discovered the pipe that takes air from the turbos and feeds it to the intercool had blown itself open! about a 270 degress split around it, the material reenforcement the only then that stopped it seperating further, anyway check the boost controller after and the highest i got it too was 1.19 bar, i have been up to 1.28 before.

crazy stuff, fortuantally the boys at nizzpro had one lying around i could swap it with, then some petrol and a toothbrush to attack the plugs it like new again...

The day i tuned the car to 30psi i did not give a bit untill that night, first time i floored it i heard this massive bang sounded like it came from the front and the back and under the car, then the car started running like crap.

It blew 2 intercooler hoses off (one off the turbo and one on the other side of the car near the intercooler) and broke 2 hose clamps.

Scared the shit out of me. i seriously thought i blew the engine up lol

I've done that on 14 pounds lol. About a week after my FMIC went on, those cheap shitty hose clamps snapped and blew the alloy pipe out of the silcon joiner. Scared the shit outa me, thought i cracked the block or head or something haha.

andrew del was driving it

i always lend my GTR out, while i have no license it keeps it being used

yeah i have had tons of pipes blow off, the stock clamps are crap, i replaced them with some huge non worm style ones, about $5 ea but worth it, if you do them up too tight they crush the thin metal tho
