turbos like to get really hot :glugglug

you guys are no fun.... i was assuming that even the people who are not into cars would think that pic is neat

Hey it looks cool to me...

After a good 20min blast with my chipped Audi It glows as well. Allot of hot exhaust goes threw them turbines!

i love boost.

LOL that happened to me one night with my Trans Am.

Lost any power in 1st gear so I pulled over and popped the hood and the super was glowing bright orange. I ran like hell, thought the damn thing was gonna explode :1orglaugh

Jesus, I hope the turbo on my EVO never gets that hot!

I have a permanent scar from sticking my arm through one of the spokes in my wheel to tight up a swaybar link...

Brake rotors get hot, even from normal driving.

I prefer the boost from my Super Charger.

I wouldnt want anything hot under the hood of my car but it looks cool on the stand.

hahaha... first time i seen a glowing turbo i took a few steps back... lol


it actually does... drive on the highway at night for an hour and pull over and pop your hood or look under your car, they all do that, its not really bad for them, just dont touch it:1orglaugh

oh hell yeah man, i burnt my hand on the brake rotor when i was cleaning my rims, never realized it stays hot so long

I will take it out and smoke a few ferrari's & porsches and come back with a pic!

And that's OK? They're actually SUPPOSED to do that? :helpme

Thats one hot engine

damn that would scare me as hell too :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I wonder if that o2 sensor even still works, lol...

btw... that a comptech NSX engine?

LMFAO :1orglaugh

[sarcasm] im sure it didnt melt [/sarcasm]

nah.. i honestly thought it was an NSX motor at first too, but my good friend joe pointed out its RWD setup, and even though the NSX is rwd, it uses a fwd setup (because the engine is in the rear)



actually that engine is a ford engine.. ill find the link to the story for ya.. hold on

there it is, Nizpro XR6T engine


yup, a ford engine

that's some sick shit .. I would have never thought a turbo could get that hot and be ok ....:thumbsup

Awesome pics! :thumbsup

Its happened to me before...running my RX7 really hard at night, then popping the hood. Quite a site to see. :)

One sure thing, you don't wanna toutch it

I'd lick it.

Wow ! It's really kickass ! :thumbsup

damn that looks awesome, glow right under the hood :)

I've never seen mine glowing, any time I've popped my hood at night I've checked, but everything was under heat shields and thermal wrap.

Yeah. because other than a turbo, every other component of an engine stays ice cold! :Graucho

Damn very cool pic. Looks like the metal is going to melt. :D

wow dude i never realized turbos got that hot.. i thought there were some neons in it at first glance

awesome pic :thumbsup

sweet machine , man. kick ass.

Fuck, that is awesome. I can't beleive how it got so hot. I would expect the turbo to seize up before it got that hot. Very nice. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

hot yupp =)

Its not just the turbo, the majority of the heat is coming from the exhaust manifold......
