[QUOTE="murse, post: 15255662, member: 90574"] I posted in the blower section, but also wanted this groups opinion. I have a 99 COBRA that's supercharged with a vortech non inter-cooled V2-e (puts down 457RWHP) I figured someday I would pull the motor and put some forged rods/pistons and could turn up the boost, but would just enjoy it the way it is (save up ofr the upgrades) I was racing an Acura and spun some in 2nd as boost came in, got traction and hit 3rd and pulled away. When I went to turn off and stopped at a redlight, the car was running like shit, smelled smoke and was idling at 5000 rpm. Pulled in a parking lot and figured I put a hole in the block, but NO oil on the ground. I was only a few minutes away from home, so I drove it home. The idling returned to normal and I didn't hear any weird sounds, when I got home I noticed the CAI had popped off the front of the blower, and when I looked in, I saw this [ATTACH=full]680099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]680100[/ATTACH] So how did the impeller get destroyed???? from the rubber elbow hitting it??? and I'm gonna guess the broken fins went into the motor???? I tried using a boroscope but it wasn't a good one and couldn't visualize everywhere that i wanted too. Time to pull the motor and I guess get my forged stuff sooner that I wanted :) [/QUOTE]
