YouTube Theres something satisfying about these youtube "celebrities" blowing their motors

[Shawn1112]

He doesn't have the code. Neither do I. I'm betting you don't either Shawn.

I had it when I swapped my pcm, but now it doesn’t pop up on the Trinity. I was under the impression only the dealer could see it, that the Trinity won’t usually pick it up. Who knows, lol

That sucks but gotta pay to play, I’ll certainly bitch about it when my motor lets go one day, I’ve been quite fortunate out of all the cars and various other toys I’ve had over the years, I’ve only thrown one rod and it was a junk yard 3800

 

[IZZy]

Two things I can deduce from this individual from the vids, he likes attention and he likes spending other people’s money.

The bank called... they want to know why you are modding their car lol

 

[wolfe]

What a moron. ONly good thing he did was go to Tim. Someone please tell him about this site so we can tell him he’s a puto and he needs to pay for his repairs himself.

 

[Marko]

The guy definitely is a Tool

 

[Blood on Blood]

top donor do whatever you want?

i'll donate 500 and take it to autobahn, try not to kill us both

$1k is highest bid thus far

So what’s the cliff notes here?
Buys cat
Mods cat
Blows engine
Whines about the cost of fixing it?

... and asks his friends/family/YouTube subscribers to donate towards a replacement motor.

 

[Marko]

The guy played with fire and got burned

It’s like gambling. modifying an expensive, already fast car. Voids the warranty, blows the engine.

As much as I laugh at the gofundme, if people are willing to give him money to fix his car, that’s on them.

Where did you see the code?

Only the Wi-Tech from the dealer can see these. I hooked mine up recently and it wasn't there. Also showed my car as reading "ready" for an obd2 emissions, which is good to know. I'll have to confirm with tim on that in a few years lol.

As I said before.....not really a car guy.....

He financed this entire car.....has a video explaining that. I believe he paid MSRP + taxes, which puts you to almost $80k. So I'm guessing $1000 + car note, which technically makes you upside down on the car since they depreciate so fast.

Even in his recent video......a guy asked if he used Diablo to tune. Technically yes, he did, but he might not know that, who knows. It isn't the tunes fault anyways.

There have been numerous blown hellcat motors. Most on too aggressive of 93 setups with high boost, which was not the case here. Very few on E85, but these guys had major warnings over and over and ignored them, but blame the tuner anyway.

I’m kinda lost reading this post, why’d this car blow? E85 doesn’t work well with these cars?

 

[HellPIG]

His car let loose for an unknown reason. He was on a 93 setup.

E85 is great in these cars if you know what you're doing.

Unfortunately most people don’t know what they are doing and suffer for it. It doesn’t take a genius to get tuning software and actually learn how to properly log and tune their cars to keep from windowing their block. A 20k mistake could have been prevented with $600 software and some time learning it instead of wasting effort on stupid videos

He went to a very reputable and very good tuner though. I don’t think the tune was the problem. If he had gotten said software and was trying to tune the car himself I feel he would’ve blown it up even sooner.

I think this is likely a poor part, or a fuel pump didn’t supply enough fuel and he leaned out.

Beat the hell out of a car for 20k miles, including when 30% over designed power levels, and the motor will commit Hari Cari.

On the Trinity. Swapped to the tuneable PCM, fired her up and check engine light was on. Looked at the code and it was P1400. Cleared it and never saw it again. Just figured it’s only now visible by the dealer

 

[HILROD]

I never did understand when people buy a new car with a warranty mod it above a beyond a simple bolt on or three, then cry when it blows up. Mod and older car or take your lumps. No one forced you to do any of that.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Hellcat and late model truck, don't feel bad for him even if it's all on a note. Risks you take building power, at least not enough to gofundhim.

Anyone remember the guy back in the day that had the Cobra that kicked the rods out doing a highway pull where the guy sounded like he was gonna cry? Tried to find it on Youtube but failed.

 

[syP]

dude is a giant turd/stroke. he runs one of the hellcat pages on facebook.. if ANYONE doesnt agree with him... he bans them right away.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

He doesn't make much from youtube.

40k subs, he may make 500 to 1000 a month.

He beat on the car, I laughed out loud when
I saw the hole in the block

That was me cause I would just light a match at that point

 

[HellPIG]

He had a great tune, BUT that doesn't mean you set it and forget it. The horse I beat to death is to watch what the car is doing. I'm sure he carried the little Diablo tuner is his car too, but never used it.

That thing is good to have up and running...

Also watch AFR at WOT if you can too. I don't think he had a good grasp on what new responsibility modding brings.

 

[VenomousDSG]

This tool delete all his videos now?
