Silicone (or rubber maybe)coupler balloon on a supra
 

Came across this by accident. If its a repost, I haven't seen it.

HOLY BALLOON BATMAN!

Holy ****!

I haven’t seen this either.

Looks strange as hell.:eek:

WOW
That must be some SERIOUS boost

what is that valve that opens on the back side of the coupler?

Haha thats crazy

I almost think that is a rubber Fernco fitting from a Plumbing store. Si couplers won't do that because of the nylon mesh that is sandwiched between the layers. Si also won't stretch that far without tearing.

thats gotta be some serious power

Id hate to be the butterfly on the throttlebody. lol. talk about a punch in the face.

+1. Home depo parts work ok for some automotiv apps (i have used copper fittings) but using a rubber coupling with like 30psi did not seem to work very well. Looks scary!

imagine if that thing popped in your face!

looks like he tried to use a plumbing store coupler. its probably hurting his spool too.

Seriously though, I wanna see it pop.

thats almost what i was thinking...

Curious about that myself.

Throttle body. That thing has some serious lag.



A Fernco will expand like that, but I've never seen one with a hump in it so it makes me think its not a plumbing part. Maybe just a cheap coupler from Pepboys or something.

haha thats crazy

that was crazy

My question is, is this after turbo and pre throttle body or the other way around...because I would think if it was pre turbo, the reverse would happen..which is it sucks in and collapses, I've seen vid of that happening on Wrx's and STi's. I'm not too familiar with the routing of piping on a Supra however, so I can't tell "where" exactly thats taking place.

that's cool. sounds like really bad compressor surge at the end.
