subaru wagon burnt down on monroe road

[X2]

Steups... if that car had enough soup... it wouldna burn down at all.

Sharma must be hire the prophetess to work some obeyah on modified cars...next thing you know... someone with an aftermarket spoiler will be involved in an accident !

.. Or worse yet... someone Prado will be involved in a high speed accident on public streets... endangering innocent civilians !

Oh the carnage !

it's not a wagon,it's a sedan pcn 8801 a turbo charged 1.6 ts it was selling here on tuner,owner was javishm,the new owner now buy that car about a week or 2 ago.. that is sourness!

I remember this car.....had no hood scoop to help with cooling the engine.

Hope the new owner didn't seek to "ghee" without making sure he got the bonnet+scoop?

how does no hood scoop affect engine cooling?

[TheBoostLord]

more like efficient intercooler operation, not engine cooling.

[TeamH2O]

It just becomes hot air from the turbo, especially top mounts with no vented cooling, heats up very much. Something could have been touching it, a harness or jack or something, decided to melt and start a fire. Especially on long drives, long runs etc.

Mines has a scoop and still is hot as f*ck. Changing to Front mount soon. Our forester has had nearly 2-5 degrees cooler temps when it was switched to a Front Mount. And engine bay does not let out waves of heat when opening the bonnet like it did with stock top mount. Imagine if there was no hood scoop!

Was a turboed TS....with a TMIC. i'd think, it would help.

Same here.

wtf at top mount with no scoop!!

should have put the air filter in the cab to get breeze from d ac one time

[black start]

trust me, he ain't the first to run a tmic without a scoop, and he won't be the last

[A172]

shogun, I now realise my question was vague. I was wondering if you were just making a general statement about running a tmic with no scoop or suggesting it caught on fire because of that

[bushwakka]

^correction...she was running it lol

[VexXx Dogg]

No hood scoops on a TMIC will result in poor efficiency and high IAT's, not necessarily engine fire.

I'll quicker suspect bad electrical, leaky fuel line, or an oil line that probably got away and sprayed on the backend of the turbo or something.

Xtrail GT's are top mount and no hood scoop, so the no hood scoop talk is in valid, I would look to electrical first, or what vex dog says

I know you know about cars, so i was wondering mehself.

Yeah, just in general. Hoping out loud, that the new owner took every precaution to keep the engine as cool as possible, so as to not compound any issues.

Obviously i have no idea what happened in this case.

Dred, you see the size/surface area of that thing?

No need for a scoop, as i'm sure it disperses the heat pretty well, on it's own.

the xtrail, along which other vehicles like the prado do not require a hood scoop, but the air is funneled in from the front of the hood and travels along an air passage built under the hood.

You can see just a bit of the seal around the tmic in these pics.

Did not know this.

That intercooler is huge.

[TheBoostLord]

Found a pic of my old prado.
Here you can see at the front, 2 scoop like openings with a rubber seal.
When the hood is closed it seals to a passage under the hood and exits above the intercooler.

[Ted_v2]

First time I saw that

[SUPAstarr]

That's great knowledge there KiD, I assumed natural unvented airflow

[gregs999]

The power steering line burst.. That is what started it...

[gastly369]

subby eh fix that yet :\

80% dem subby does bun down because of that PS line
