- Our flooded Maserati Granturismo that we bought at salvage auction blew up and caught on fire. Engine blows within just 50 miles of purchase :( Get NordVPN exclusive deal here: nordvpn.com/jrgarage Try it risk-free thanks to their money-back guarantee!
We have never had an engine blow up on us... Just cruising down the highway then BOOM! This was right after we purchased the car from salvage auction during hurricane Ida. We thought we got a crazy good deal on it, only paying $30,250, but now that is maybe not so good of a deal. What do you think caused the engine to blow up?

LS swap....
Fix it please 🙂🙂
Jz swap it,)) just because,))
Keep it.
Never start a flood car until drained completely etc. Lesson learned all around.
The guy who said bring an extinguisher when with the Italians, silly.
It could have been worse driving a car when your engine gets grenaded is pretty horrible, sadly I too have been there.
Peace
Hellcat swap
Always bring a fire extinguisher when you're out with the Italians!
Hahahaha. That was geat. 🤣🤣
Loool
Yeah! Big ones.
LMAO!!
Ayyyy ohhhhh pasta extinguisher.
Don’t give up just yet. You can get a 4.7 Liter Maserati long block on EBay for $6000. Just swap out the accessories that you need and reinstall the engine. Back to cruising on Maserati time. Don’t do LS swap or a Tesla swap. Don’t be one of those guys. Good luck.
Yep i was thinking the same
LSA swap
Swap in a 5.2L from a GT350.
@@Sergeantgrunt would be a pretty difficult swap tho lol
I love you guys and want you to be safe. Next time you’re waiting get all the way off the highway. If you wanna stay with the car, climb that embankment. You never know when a distracted, intoxicated, sleeping driver could veer off and you know what. It happens all the time. Sorry about the mazy. Major bummer. Stay safe boys.
Nothing wrong we’re buying a flood car but you have to pull the spark plugs out before you crank the engine. Every engine you guys have cranked in the past potentially could have the same issue. So in the future make sure you get all of the water out of the engine before you try to start it
These guys have no brain.
Oh boy, at least she didnt burn down!!! Christian can fix anything with a hammer & some Frank Sinatra music. I have faith
Hahah the Frank Sinatra while wrenching is a vibe 😂
Starting that car with water in the oil most likely caused irreparable damage. Whether someone started it before you or when you did it yourselves. Live and learn. Such a nice car though. Looking forward to the repair.
maserati -garbage
If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm pretty sure there's someone out there whose non flooded Maserati also recently blew up 🤷♂️😆
Oh jeez 😂
Same thing happened to me with ghibli and need new engine..
Mine😂
There are multiple reasons for the engine blowing up, being a flood car, water on the fuel system, water in the oil especially if has a dry sump, the car was previously started with water inside the engine and it bent a rod.
These guys have no brain.
Unfortunate about the engine. Just glad you 2 are doing okay 👍 keep up the good content!
Thanks! Will do!
Such a nice looking car even if it is an expensive fix. Wish you guys the best!
A mechanic friend of mine who works these cars once told me "Buying a flooded car is like trying to marry a woman who's been abused all her life and has drug problems. You're never going to make her right, she gonna sleep with your friend and steal from you"
Such a great car with probably the most matching interior ever.. Hope it'll ride again.
Ive repaired alot of flooded cars here in the UK spanning the last 17 years. My guess would be that one of the con rods had a slight bend from the original hydro-locking of the engine, & gave up & snapped whilst on freeway. The bigger the engine & more cylinders the less you feel a bent rod when running. Ive had straight six 3.0ltr BMW diesels sound perfect with one bent rod at idle, the only way you could tell was that you had a harsh diesel growl under load momentarily.
Sorry to hear guys glad your are safe I guess you roll the dice on each of these maybe wise to carry fire extinguisher in these cars
Glad y'all are safe! Dope car, sad to see it die 😢
As someone who just bought a 2014 GranTurismo Sport about two years ago, this broke my heart to see. Aside from a vacuum leak my car has been sailing straight as an arrow. Nothing like owning your dream car, and definitely nothing like it being everything you hoped it would be.
It was unfortunate that happened. But at least the two of you are ok that’s what is important. Keep up the good work!
check the freeze frame on the computer, see if there was an oil pressure spike. if there was then likely main passage got plugged and maybe blew up the oil filter.
Amazing footage 👏
Your getting so good at this youtube thing I can't believe my eyes
😐 WHY didn't you film the 1st drive 🤣🤙
Not a flood car but been rolling my GT for almost 4 strong years, love it to DEATH!!!!!
Did you take out all the spark plugs and crank it over a few times after flushing the oil?
I wonder if there’s water soft plugs on the block internally where water was getting in or oil out internally until it found it or made an exit
A nice bright red fire extinguisher would have matched the interior perfectly
Yes bring it too life, I am glad you guys are ok
I remember watching the video when you first got it. I was worried when you started it before flushing all of the water out of the oil. Perhaps that caused some damage? RIP
These guys have no brain.
Hi Jeffery and Christian,
What a disappointment that this beautiful Maserati is blown up.
Hopefully it’s not too serious so we look forward to your next vlog regarding this. We’ll keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands.
Best regards,
Willeke and Dick de Graaff
Damn.. 😂😂 “good luck with that”
This is such a rare situation. I've seen so many flooded cars run for 100's of thousands of miles after they were brought back to life. For this engine which is pretty much bulletproof means that the person who owned it prior or someone else, ran it with water inside the motor. The engine had to hydrolock and blew the pistons out. But to do this after the flush sounds SUS. Either way, it will be a mystery. Glad you guys are safe. That's pretty much all that matters.
Nobody stopped!, I bet you will find a video on you tube from behind lol. That is the worst feeling, good that you are ok.
Just glad you two are OK. Yes you got me on that.
I bet that the rod bearings started spinning in the connecting rod instead of on the crankshaft and that made a lot of heat on the crankshaft and then it shot out through the bottom end or side.
Well, prayers have been answered. Go get that engine!!
Sorry that happened guys, please be careful.
I'd bet you have no oil filter. It's been loose and worked it's way off and that's the noise you heard. The oil was then blown over the hot exhaust igniting and causing all that smoke. Just a thought. AP
It’s a good thing that oil was still coming out of it on the tow truck and that you guys shut it down quick. Maybe the block is still intact and there might be a chance of rebuilding the bottom end? It’s not looking too good though!☹️
the way to fix this = get a 1987 - 1989 BMW 635 csi and add a newish V12 with dash components, improved metal care, brakes, suspension, black leather interior and white paint. It could be many videos to find, buy, and build with the Alpina wheels and grayish paint. Your show is appreciated over here at the other side of our planet in Asia.
Do a VK56 swap. The Infiniti Q70 uses that engine and its quite quick despite the fact that it weighs about 4000lbs so its a whole ass boat. Maybe you could swap it in and do a few mods to it, then it could probably be faster than when it has the factory engine. I also heard its a pretty solid, reliable engine if I’m not mistaken.
Hope you guys get it fixed, it's a sexy car, I bet, if you get a new engine, you would stil be in a good position, cost plus expenses plus new engine equals stil a good deal
I hope the car gets fixed soon and easily. But is using water really a good idea on an engine fire caused by oil?
this beauty definitely deserves a fix! i hope u guys can do it! u can also go to some shops such as LNC， these men can handle it. Reliability comes from good maintance!
She needs to be brought back to life. Such a beautiful car.
nice video bruh love the car hope everything turns out good 👍
I wish you all the best guys🙏🏻
if the block is ok you may be able to re-build it with super light internals
Hell. That's a typical weekend back home. We swap engines when needed. Take a breath welcome to high power problems.
Told my daughters BF that you just blew it up the day you SAW the water in the oil pan and proceeded to start the engine?!
Transmission is going to be next …
NEVER start a flood car until ALL fluids have been drained, flushed and filled folks.
Whatever try having your trans go out and slam into 1rst from 80mph on the Interstate. Or a tire blowing out at 70 and getting pulled straight into the ditch in a 1976 Ford Ltd lol.
I’m right in my what do I have to do to get into the auctions I’m jersey some help would be nice
Hey I know that feeling. When I was in my accident on I-10, absolutely no one stopped to see if I was okay.
Right! What happened to humanity?
11:22 ‘whipped it out’ 😳🤦🏼♂️😅😂🤣
Im just glad your safe
I been watching your video on the flooded Maserati,, beautiful car, can you tell me how can I purchase the X pipe for my 2016 Ghibli??
Time for an LS Swap attempt. It would be Great Content for you guys !!!!!!
Well wish u all the best with this car. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Probably should start keeping a fire extinguisher now hey.
Also maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to start it without a proper inspection
Where is the truck did u guys fix it ?
fluids probably needed to be changed. or could be something else like rust in engine which caused it due to flooding.
Always bring your own fire extinguisher! don't expect someone gonna help you.
BTW keep safe✌️
Gotta save it that thing looks gorgeous.
Nobody would ever think a Maserati blowing up would be clickbait
Could be oil plug fell out or left oil filter gasket on engine and screwed new filter on double gaskets loose oil
How far are you from rancho Cordova california? I found an engine on eBay with 21,000 miles for $6,000.
It is a (beautiful) car that is worth repairing.
Luckily you didn't have a fire or an accident, that's the most important thing.
Material can be replaced.
You will succeed, good luck!
You guys are funny!
Come to Chicago and drive the Dan Ryan in the summer.. Walk away and hope someone rear ends it!
So will you consider this in the future before buying and selling these to customers?
Sorry to see that happen guys. Terrible.
Oooh nooo! BUT the car still looks like one million dollars 🤩🤑 I’m sure you guys can fix it! 🤞 Thank you for sharing 🤜🤛
Damn bruh at least you got it fixed
Shame about the motor but as I said last time that colour/interior/wheel combo is seriously my Favourite.
WEEE NEEDD A GARAGE TOURRRR
I wouldn’t worry about it you should factor sourcing an affordable engine in any flood car. Especially one at auction. There’s no telling how many times it was started after flood.
Using water to try to put out an oil fire would have been the total disaster.
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
What’s crazy is I actually have that same Maserati with a bad transmission but good engine for sale 😂
Love that car dude!
If the engine grenades the insurance won’t pay. If the engine grenades and the car burns to the ground does insurance pay?
I think so. Mechanical failure vs. loss of the car
🔥🔥
OOOOF! First someone steals your truck, now your Maserati grenades itself on the highway. Oh well, its alright, you guys will find a way through this. You always do.
Is it safe to be sitting in car while traffic is passing at 70mph? I have seen videos of drivers being distracted and not seeing a broken down car .
Usually the safe thing to do is stay in the car if it breaks down, unless you are able to get very far away to the side. Poking and prodding under the hood or around the car is on the side of the highway is really unsafe. Confirm there’s no flames and then get back in lol which I think they did
Lol exploding Ned Flanders
Nope, people just don't care, especially when you have a super car. Hope to see the car soon. Take care guys.
I think I know what happened. You didn’t clean the engine bay!
Dang, beautiful car. I hope you can find a replacement engine for the low. What’s the place where you get high end parts from? You picked up something from there for the Lambo you just got.
AZ cycle parts, they actually just got a Maserati!
What happened to the aston martin tho?
that smoke and expression really made me believe that the image is real
good thing it wasent listed for sale yet then on a joy ride it blows, down goes 30 grand
Same thing happened to my car... except it was a 15 year old Toyota Corolla with 150k miles...
hey is it time to put a ls1 in it or a 2JZ i think ls1!!!
Sad day guys, but at least you weren’t hurt…!
What kind of oil did you put it in?.. 😂
2JZ Swap 1000% Also only you can prevent forest fires... Always put a fire extinguisher in a salvaged titled car just incase.
Where do you get all the money for these cars
Damn sorry on this :( - careful out there on highways get out of car and 10m from brokedown Maserati...
Come on, you were terrified with the fire and smoke. When I was 21 over 50 years ago, I was driving my Corvette with a new short block after the break-in period about 120mph when the new engine blew. Yep, I saw red hot pieces of engine coming out the back along with smoke and the only emotion I had was I was pissed.
Either a rear main seal failure or it threw a rod through the lower block
For as many times as you guys have scored at the auctions, you are still way ahead even if you have to put an engine in it. Or LS Swap??
True, we’re still ahead of the game with how cheap we initially got the car for!
Just throw some of that liquid gasket in a bottle and your good to go . Be sure to get the bottle written in Italian to be sure it works .....lol 😂😆 😭
Take the engine out and hang the car on the wall in your dream house. It is a beautiful looking car inside and out.
Full coverage?
I can see A nice LS7 Twin Turbo Conversion!!
Next time guys when you buy a car like this or any car please carry with you a water jug and a fire extinguisher for the first couple of days until you are sure the car is in the clear, glad you guys are ok ,love your video's 👍
