Ok, Im not sure if this is the best forum for this.
I downloaded a video recently of an fb doing a full 3 minute burnout. Well, 2 min and 49 seconds of tire smoking fun. At the end of the video the engine blows. Now the question i have is, what causes the hood to pop up when the engine blows? Does the motor just blow a hole in the rotor housing and release a lot of pressure and causes the hood to fly open? I was just curious. And seeing as im still considered a newbe i do not have the liberty to post in the general discussion forum, im stuck with the newbe forum untill im no longer a newbe. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
I saw that video a while ago.
I'm pretty sure the clutch/flywheel assembly grenaded or something, the hoods on fbs are reverse popping hoods. I'm not sure though. |
Sometimes the flywheel explodes out of the assembley like Colin said and that could put a hole through pretty much anything. It also could be the pressurization from the engine that caused it to blow open.

I think you are talking about the white Fb that had the S/C 20b in it.

Its a black or dark green FB and im pretty sure its the stock 12a. It does have an exhaust.
I don't think it was the flywheel, due to the fact that there was no debris in the surounding area. It is a reverse opening hood. In the video the car looks like it is on a drag strip. He preforms quite a few donuts and does this for 2 min and 49 seconds, and then BAM!!! Hood flys open, guy gets out and gets praise from the crowd. Pretty good stuff. Sad to see him kill an FB tho. |

|
this one? (its an AVI)
|
no thats not it, i have the video hes talking about. Its a regular stock fb.
|
Probably a major back fire out of the carb igniting other parts of the fuel system. The green FB that blows up has a pretty serious engine fire going after the explosion. I think the same happens on the supercharged white one. If you want to pay you can download it at 3rotor.com.

Was this a black FB that your talking about and was the video shot from the front?
