NMCA will be reviewing the rules this winter.

BULKHEAD is the magic word.

sitting that close to that intercooler there should be something between them. at least a wall, but a box would be better

Re: Intercooler explosion... Safety blankets required in future??
 

if there was a box around the intercooler it would have just blown the box apart instead of the roof and windows.

At least the roof and windows would have been okay.

Re: Intercooler explosion... Safety blankets required in future??
 

depends on the box, properly built with a really big vent outside of the car i think would be fine

Re: Intercooler explosion... Safety blankets required in future??
 

why would you built a blanket or a box around the intercooler when you could just make the intercooler out of thicker gauge steel instead??

Re: Intercooler explosion... Safety blankets required in future??
 

Intercoolers aren't built out of steel.

It blew apart at the welds. Survey says: not welded correctly. A good weld is as strong or stronger than the material it joins.
