The death of JRSC rotrex
The stock kit was installed in May and about Sept the HBP was installed along with supporting mods (injectors, pump, e85). The car was probably driven maybe 4K miles with the HBP and ran good until today...
The oil level was still good, belt was aligned properly... While driving, the sound of rocks in a can could be heard followed by a loud high pitch sound then a loud pop from the engine! Car died immediately, all lights came on but luckily it was able to coast onto a close by street.
Opening the hood to inspect I seen greenish fluid splashed around, thinking to myself that's odd since the engine didn't over heat and not coolant lines were busted. Then I seen fluid dripping from under the filter going to the head unit... Took off the coupling and seen this.
The impeller is completely separate from bearings inside as it spins freely (yes the belt is still wrapped around the pulley).
Has anyone else had/seen this issue yet?
