I really wish they had an explanation of the turbo that had its exhaust side stuck inside an intake pipe. Warm air intake?

 

that's just sickening. had to stop myself from laughing uncontrollably in class.

 

Priceless!

 

nice find.

 

HAHA, almost posted this myself when I saw it on digg!

 

some people shouldn't be allowed to own tools and automobiles togehter. one or the other..

 

Apparently none fo the welders have ever heard of a grinder.

 

thats actually for the wastegate im pretty sure. but non the less its hideous.

 

some people should be killed at the first sign of such failures.......

 

id say thats quite a stretch, but i would go as far as orange jump suits, shackles, and work detail.

 

work detail? we can obviously tell there work ain't worth a crap. i just think that would be bad

 

Haha +1

 

i figured they could handle raking leaves, or smashing rocks with a big hammer... you could be right though.

 

Aww come on guys! These guys are the geniuses of our time! Without their ingenuis creations we wouldn't know what not to do!

I mean come on! Who wouldn't want to lift their truck by welding springs to the leaf springs!

*Can no longer keep a straight face and goes into cardiac arrest from laughing too damn hard*

This makes my welding seem professional. lol

 

XD you should see the time a tried to weld exhaust pipe with my damn stick welder. looked worse than half of those welds. never use a stick welder for exhaust.

 

Really, I give them a B+ for effort. Here's what real Epic Fail looks like:

 

IIRC, this: http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/epi...rbo/1007634913

was a sub ten second car.

 

and im not quite sure how an exhaust dump is fail....

there saying its a fail because its actually a throttle body. but i would use it, cheap and it works

 

its a throttle body. lol. i didnt notice that. good eye!

 

Maybe this guy saw these mufflers listed as 'Turbo' mufflers at the autoparts store..so why not put a turbo on them, right???

http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/epi...rbo/1007634868

 

it's a throttle body, which doesn't seal all too well, and it's cable operated...

 

Early exhaust cutouts were basically a butterfly valve operated by the same thing as a choke cable. A friend of mine put one on his brand new 68 GTO. Due to exhaust pressure, it could only be opened between shifts, which was a hoot when blasting by by some old fart and opening it up between shifts.

 

You don't need to kill them, or place them on work detail, just keep them from reproducing for the love of God!!!

 

That link is a collection of pictures posted in the Honda-tech fab forum... old stuff there, and some of that stuff is epic win. The turbo's hidden above the mufflers was on a 800whp Mudstain.
