sometimes there are small weights attached to the blades for balancing

if you throw one, all hell breaks loose

Interesting that it's them vibrating.

Wonder if a blades cracked or it's the motor shaft that's spun out of the blade.

 

It is exactly that, cracked blade on one of them. Throws the balance out.. But bugger me.. The vibrations go through the entire car.

Also found a hole in the top snorkel... Duct taped that sucker for now... Glad I did the f6 snorkel mod. Obviously not what is causing the good.good.good.good vibrations. But hey... when it rains... it pours.. Considering my mechanic already had to duct tape some of the air hoses around the cross over (rkns not worth the expense to fix the original)... might be time to invest in a turbo side CAI.

From the fan or the snorkel? Fan is all vibration in the cabin, outside you can hear it a bit.

 

Never noticed any noise from the snorkel.

No, the fan blade eating the intake pipe.

Ahh my bad, should have made it clear that it was a problem found when pulling the pipe off.

 

Would be an impressively big fail for the fan to be able to do that 😮

How else do you think it happened

No idea. But if the busted fan blade did it, then the shroud should be damaged as well... Nothing wrong with the shroud

 

All fixed now. Pretty easy job.
