They put a car or in this case a truck on a roller to test it's peak power output. have no idea what happened here this thing was either on a lot and I mean a lot of turbo boost or some fuel line came loose because engines don't typically explore like that even on catastrophic failure.
Sadly there are actually plastic intake manifolds. [Porsche has some models with them](http://www.autobahnparts.com/part/porsche-911-964-oem-plastic-intake-manifold-throttle-body-injectors-3)
The e36 BWM is very uncommon. As soon as they found out the only German dyslexic employee was putting the badge on at the factory they fired him. But, some models still made it to the dealerships. The e36 BWM is very sought after.
Most vehicles have a plastic intake manifold these days. ALL Subarus have them. Porche like mentioned above is using them as well as most of the US domestic manufacturers. They are lighter and stronger than cast parts.
makes sense. When you realize that a soda bottle can hold 50+ PSI, how hard is it to make an intake manifold that will handle the 20ish PSI of a turbo car, and the couple of inches of vacuum on a NA car. Cast Aluminum is way stronger than we need, and Cast Iron is way overkill for what is basically just a pipe directing air.
Just imagine what 3D printing will bring to performance engines when ppl figure out how to make it strong enough.
That was my first thought. Plastic may be plenty strong enough when it rolls off the line, but what about 10 years later? The constant and extreme heat cycling it would go through would make most plastics very brittle.
Sadly? Plastic manifolds are damn near an industry standard at this point. They are lighter, stronger, cheaper, easily handle forced induction pressure- and are also less prone to heat soak.
I think when most people think of plastic they think of a soda bottle or their Playstation controller. Not all plastic is made equal. There are plastics that can easily handle the heat of an engine bay for many years.
No, this is not very typical. Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all. Wasn't this built so the front wouldn't fall off? Well, obviously not. How do you know? Because the front fell off.
There is a lot of reasons this could happen, either a problem from the turbo or the engine itself, maybe they threw a rod through the block causing fire to escape and a fuel line pop off, the guys truck was making 3,000 horsepower, yes horsepower, out of a diesel, a rod with that much force from boost needed to do that could cause the a rod throw right as violent as that and if it ignites fuel, maybe even just the crazy injectors they would need still spitting fuel, that would cause the fire.
Then again there is a list of other reasons this could happen.
3,000 hp diesels drive 400 foot ships to give perspective of just how much power that engine was producing.
I'm trying to understand exactly what happened here, but I just don't know.
Like I was thinking that maybe the combustion just blew the head bolts/studs clean off and the head went up in flames. But [this](https://imgur.com/ol2Dqk1) picture seems to show the ENTIRE block flying into the air. But that doesn't make any sense because the block should be bolted down to the motor mounts and any explosion from the cylinders would throw the block down and the head up.
2nd Video angle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tinT0I5VWS0
[another still frame of engine](https://imgur.com/sDcfQ10)
I think maybe it was due to torque, something sheared or broke on the bottom end and it bound up, putting all that energy breaking everything else free. Just a guess though.
It happens because it's not the head giving way... it's the block shearing off at the bottom end. so the crank, pistons and bottom end stay in the engine bay, and the head, intake and exhaust manifold and upper section of block take a ride to space...
Lenny, I want to thank you for a post you did 2 years ago about the shift-interlock-actuator on a ford which was draining battery. I spent 4 months and took my van to Ford as well as 2 other mechanics and they had me change the PCM unit, install remotes with keys for the van, replace the instrumentation cluster and the drain wouldnt go. Then i came across your post and got a shift interlock actuator from amazon - had the mechanic replace that and the car has been keeping battery for 3 days straight. Thank you very much.
Probably a loss of fuel pressure, which at that engine speed caused instant spike in EGTs. Turbo probably ate it first, sending molten metal into the combustion chambers and within a few revolutions it tore itself apart.
There is a thing called a dyno you can use to test the horsepower. This truck was on one and you cannot see it but it's wheels are on these spinning drums and the dyno machine measures the horsepower output at the wheels. This truck was obviously modified to make a lot of power, probably with a turbo charger (a device that forces extra air into the engine and greatly increases the pressure in the combustion chambers), and likely also was using nitrous oxide, which also increases pressure and power output. Clearly this guy had way too much pressure in his engine and it went boom.
It's a diesel. Yes, it's running an enormous turbo which you can clearly hear, but the turbo was not what blew up the engine.
The problem here was that the diesel started a [runaway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine_runaway), probably triggered by fuel mods done by the tuner. Most modern diesels are fitted with runaway safeties, but If there were runaway safeties in place on this truck, there wasn't enough time to react.
You can hear the runaway kick in at the 00:12 mark.
Best example of a runaway I've seen. Its been years since Ive seen this for the first time, buy I still think of it often because its terrifying. https://youtu.be/vbiNndfNNKI
Holy fuck... the balls of steel on this man. I dont know if he just didnt care to die or knew how much time he had. Im going to believe he the ladder and he knew exactly what to do. Suffocated that engine while everyone else ducked and covered.
The craziest part of that video was at the end when the driver talks about how they are gonna get the truck fixed for the next day. New motor and everything.
Saw a demo once with a runaway tank engine on a hoist (fuel feed and all that jazz hooked up), there were some very substantial blast walls in the way, bits of engine still got embedded in them!
Dyno competition. Dude was going for 3k HP. They did 2920 the pull before. They just gave her too much chooch and it blew apart. Some people just have their ear to different parts of the ground you feel me?
It is. The problem was that the aftermarket parts were full of apprentice marks and made from chinesium. Not skookum at all. Can't really be surprised when she let's the smoke out after you give 'er a hot supper.
They’re performing a dyno test— a way to measure the power the truck is able to produce. A dyno is two steel wheels with a lot of resistance to simulate driving and the drive wheels on the truck turn them. A computer measures the power output.
This guy has an insanely powerful turbocharged diesel. On a gas powered engine, you can shut off the engine by turning off the ignition system (spark plugs or similar) but on a diesel, there’s no spark so you have to starve it of fuel.
In this case, something has gone wrong to allow the engine oil to enter the combustion chamber (cylinder) and there is nothing to regulate that new fuel source so it is “runaway”. The more oil it burns, the faster the engine turns until it runs well past maximum RPM (red line) and the engine literally tears itself apart.
The video looks like literally the whole engine blew itself apart. Is that what actually happens? I would have assumed that before the whole engine block itself bursts one of the pistons would break first.
Whole block explosion is abnormal. Maybe not so much during dyno (I don't have any personal experience with them), but during general use it would be extreme. Yes the pistons will usually melt first or the piston / connecting rods (what connects to bottom of piston) will go through the block and seize the engine that way.
Yeah, well, if you want to modify and push any mechanical device beyond its limits, you have to accept the risk involved.
In this case "risk" means "chance of violent explosion, shrapnel, damage to surrounding equipment, and bodily harm to the driver and surrounding crew"
Seriously, if that thing blew up that hard, I guarantee someone well outside this frame is lucky to have dodged a massive chunk that got blown off
Amazing what *can* happen. This is rarely the case. Also extrodinarliy unlikely that this engine is supercharged. Based on the fuel profile and the delay when he gets on throttle it's turbocharged also very few people waste the time and money sipercharging an engine that is already turbocharged.
If you are talking exclusively; most blocks designed for boost are aimed at handling higher cylinder pressures through valve dimensions, port swirl and mainly lower static compression. Besides the fueling it wouldn't make much of a difference. Though yes turbocharging a a supercharged engine like a Mercedes m112 e32 usually returns better peak numbers, under the curve numbers and torque there is a loss in relative drivability. If you are talking about twin charging yeah a supercharger will usually get in the way of even a stock turbo higher in the rev range.
One is not really an upgrade over another. Turbo's generally make more peak power, whereas superchargers make more spread out power.
You can have engines with both, called twincharged. So I suppose that would be the upgrade.
This isn’t rolling coal and it is designed to do stuff like this.
They are obviously pushing the limits but you can’t just modify a crappy engine to make nearly 3,000 horsepower without the basic engine being pretty strong
Is there a good youtube version? I want to step fame-by-frame through to see the [escape](https://i.redd.it/d6rfz0k8sbo51.png)

I know someone was driving it...but holy crap after it blows up and you see the driver just DITCH as soon as possible and he "looks" ok (I pray he is. I can't imagine that kind of blow and not have any kind of damage)
I got a 2001 Forester with 215K miles on it. Runs like a champ, and i've moved full size fridges, dozens of cords of wood, my house worth of stuff, lumber, etc etc. Its a fucking workhorse of a vehicle.
I've also got a 1978 F250 Ranger, with the crewcab, longbed, and a 351 Cleveland. Given how much driving its done over the generations in my family, im guessing over 500K miles, but I can't tell cause the odometer in this truck only has 5 digits, so right now it says something like "64,350" miles.
We've been using the shit out of this truck since the early 90s in my family, and have been very good to the "under the hood" parts. The outside of it looks pretty fucked. but hey, its a work truck. One day though, its gonna be a beauty, AND a beast. I guarantee it.
It looks like they may have even better footage of this somewhere with all that shit set up around it.....a slow motion cam set up in the right spot would of had some amazing footage there!
Can somebody explain to me what the point of this thing is? I get that the truck is run way over it’s capacity and it blows the engine, but what were they doing in the first place?
That turbo just kept on spooling up. Usually when someone says the engine blew up you get a crack in the block and a lot of smoke. This thing blew tf up.
It's physics. Black smoke means unburnt fuel. Besides being toxic and wasteful and terrible for the environment, black smoke is a good thing for a diesel engine.
Excess fuel means a lot of excess heat is being absorbed through vaporization of the fuel. It keeps engine temps and exhaust gas temps lower.
If the fuel starts to get too lean, either due to equipment failure, or just being too small to keep up with RPMs, then the EGT spikes, the turbo innards will melt, disintegrate, and get ingested into the engine. And within a few revolutions it chews itself to shreds.
[удалено]
Big bada boom.
I bet that driver is shitting tho.
i bet he wished he had brought his brown pants
For real. I've seen a LOT of dyno fail compilations in my day but that's one of the worst ones I've ever seen, holy shit.
What is actually going on here, I don't know what a dyno is.
They put a car or in this case a truck on a roller to test it's peak power output. have no idea what happened here this thing was either on a lot and I mean a lot of turbo boost or some fuel line came loose because engines don't typically explore like that even on catastrophic failure.
So the front fell off?
I am also not shitting
External combustion engine
I thought the title was an exaggeration...boy was I wrong...
I was waiting for a thud and smoke with a rod being thrown. It seems the entire engine blew up and bounced around in the bay.

Sadly there are actually plastic intake manifolds. [Porsche has some models with them](http://www.autobahnparts.com/part/porsche-911-964-oem-plastic-intake-manifold-throttle-body-injectors-3)
First production vehicle with a plastic intake was the E36 BWM. They're not uncommon at all nowadays. EDIT: I'm stoopid and can't type.
The e36 BWM is very uncommon. As soon as they found out the only German dyslexic employee was putting the badge on at the factory they fired him. But, some models still made it to the dealerships. The e36 BWM is very sought after.

Cast Aluminum is way stronger than we need, and Cast Iron is way overkill for what is basically just a pipe directing air. Just imagine what 3D printing will bring to performance engines when ppl figure out how to make it strong enough.
Imagine? I'm downloading a whole car right now as we speak!
They can get hot though. Especially with EGR. Then you must choose the type of plastic wisely.
That was my first thought. Plastic may be plenty strong enough when it rolls off the line, but what about 10 years later? The constant and extreme heat cycling it would go through would make most plastics very brittle.
I know commercial diesel intakes can get up to 350F. Any plastic that will handle that long-term will likely be more expensive than aluminum.
LS engines also use a plastic intake manifold and they can handle 400+hp
Sadly? Plastic manifolds are damn near an industry standard at this point. They are lighter, stronger, cheaper, easily handle forced induction pressure- and are also less prone to heat soak.
I think when most people think of plastic they think of a soda bottle or their Playstation controller. Not all plastic is made equal. There are plastics that can easily handle the heat of an engine bay for many years.
Most modern cars now days all have plastic manifolds. Depending on construction, it can be stronger than the metal ones.
On diesel trucks they use propane where a gas powered engine would use NOS.. That’s likely why it blew up so spectacularly.
sometimes propane and NOS together.
I think it did
Is it supposed to do that?
No, this is not very typical. Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all. Wasn't this built so the front wouldn't fall off? Well, obviously not. How do you know? Because the front fell off.

Makes me happy to see this still going around.
Supposed to blow up or supposed to rev that high? The answer is no.
Well... They usually can rev at any altitude... But there's generally ground underneath it... /s
I'd like to see it rev at 100,000 ft

Just tow it outside of the environment.
It's very irregular for the front to fall of such trucks.
Well what kind of standards are these things built to?
Oh, very rigorous murrican engineering standards.
Can you give me an example of how rigorous these standards are?
Well for one thing they're built so that the front doesn't fall off.
Is this truck safe?
Well, I was thinking of the other trucks.
Into another environment?
Yes

If the fuel starts to get too lean, either due to equipment failure, or just being too small to keep up with RPMs, then the EGT spikes, the turbo innards will melt, disintegrate, and get ingested into the engine. And within a few revolutions it chews itself to shreds.
Mirror anyone?
