Engine Backfiire.....

brucespot · 09-16-2006, 04:16 PM

Well earlier I wrote and I had a backfire and It blew a big hole in my intake manafold. It was because of a switch malfunction on my nitrous switch But I am wondering if this has happened to anyone and do you think it is just a intake manafold? I dont know what happened to my last thread so I am re-writing it.

Hmm, a nitrous hiccup? Id take this opportunity to replace the crappy plastic manifold on there now and go with an HPS or Bullitt intake. Its probably just your intake that blew but id check for plastic fragments.

hmmm could be a few things.....such as the wiring....you may have switched it off and the solonoid just kept feeding nitrous into the intake. Along the lines of that...That sucks everytime I hear something like this it scares the crap out of me

You can still blow a Bullitt intake.
