How to Ecoboom
Was the engine ever looked at? Throwing a rod or cracking the block doesn't usually end w the car engulfed in flames. Overheated cats, spiked engine temps, spilled fluids or fuel or something.

Taking an educated guess the creator of that video just did an engine swap and most likely the flames came from a fuel leak from something not connected properly (ie* injector o-rings pinched, loose quick disconnect, pinched line etc.) or leaking. Though his first engine appeared to be destroyed by LSPI, I think the 2nd engulfing in flames is possible installation error. Not knocking the guy, shyt happens.

Back on topic, OP at your level of mods (mainly due to the aftermarket downpipe) you might as well hit up Ryan w/ PD tuning.

Agreed. This guy is spamming at least 2 forums and multiple posts with this video and no explanation. Just trolling for youtube views/subscribers. Ecoboom didn't cause that, that's more like a fuel leak.
