Heellpp!! Blew My Motor Today!
That is exactly what happens when you have an intercooler pipe come off. Look at all your pipes and ensure they are all on snugly. This is the best way to start troubleshooting.
Yep, ic hose came off. Like someone else said most likely the one at the tb or the one where the licp meets the ic. They seem to be the ones that happen most often. If I were you I'd run back to the dealer and see for yourself. Just so they can't make up some bs and charge you out the a$$.
ahh the legendary ic pipe pop off. sounded like a loud pop or bang, then the car ran like **** right? its ic pipe buddy. check that first before you send the car off somewhere and they charge you $300 to hook it back up
Hey Guys,
Well first off I have a IX GSR with the mods found in my sig.
Also, Koji, at XS engineering tuned my car a few weeks ago and mentioned that my injectors were prettymuch maxed out at 7,500rpm, but he made sure to make my tune as rich as he could up top and pull back the timing a little to make up for it.
So today my car was running as great as ever until I was rolling up to a red light that turned green during my approach, I downshifted to third and and punched it. Not WOT, but just peppy, ya know? Somewhere between 3,500-5,500 rpms I heard a loud pop followed by an immidiate loss in engine performance. Idle is Horribly rough, car will only roll with you alternate the gas and clutch just right, soulds like its running on 3 cylinders. makes a lot of popping noise like something is banging around in the engine.
I had to drive about 2.5 miles like this at speeds up to 30-40mph to find somewhere safe to pull over. Took a look in the engine bay, no smoke, nothing unusual, just a rough idle, called a tow company and had it flatbedded to south coast mitsubishi where I got the car.
By the way, im boosting at about 22-23spike tapering and holding at about 19-20 to redline. on cali 91 octane.
So, what do you guys think it is? What are some possibilities of what it could be?
Thanks in advanced guys!
I already miss her though

Good luck
That happened to me in my supercharged mustang. I had slicks on and nailed it in first gear and BOOM! Then the car shut off and wouldn’t restart. First thought is I blew the motor but the pipe slipped off the TB. Def scary when that happens.

Yup sounds like the IC hose popped off. Same thing happend to me and I thought I blew my motor or turbo or something. I was freakin out and then I re-checked the engine bay and yup it was the intercooler hose.
People need to start wrenching on their own rides. Did you even bother inspecting the ic pipes before you came to the conclusion that your motor blew? Sounds kinda noob bro
, Anyway since you limped it around make sure you change out your plugs right away as well.
