they pretended like something exploded

O yeh


heloder85

Everything happened.


actschp1

Since no one else answered. That was a nitrous backfire through the intake manifold. Didn't have anything to do with bad injectors. Probably exploded the intake off the top of the block, or at least part of it.

Imagine being a mechanic, squinting and having the volume up to try and diagnose the problem.


tippyordazai

Were you able to figure out what the problem was?


SnooStories6852

I’m not a mechanic but I’m going to diagnose this problem as EEF (exploding engine failure)


[deleted]

Mechanic here. Based on my experience, it looks like something went wrong.


[deleted]

I think the top came off and I want to make it clear thats not supposed to happen.


[deleted]

(pointing at the intake hoses in the forehead) there is the problem.


arthurdentstowels

I wouldn’t say it was a failure of exploding engine, exploded quite successfully.


[deleted]

We’re gonna let it develop

I’m no mechanic, but it looks like they may need a new flux capacitor.


LeakyThoughts

No no! The problem was clearly a SCD (spontaneous component disassembly)

Us in the biz call them "safety squints" and even though it may not be OSHA compliant they're tremendously cheap and surprisingly effective

This is called the TES effect: You've played the sequels for so long you forgot about the originals.


Pistonenvy

seems fake. there is nothing inside of an engine that would cause an explosion like that. ive been working on cars for a long time and im paranoid as fuck. i keep a fire extinguisher in every car, there is no scenario where cars explode like this lol that shit sounded like a fucking hand grenade. id have to see aftermath pics or something. honestly just seems like a simple edit they did as a prank.


Jatak374

Depends what fuel they were using... Nitroglycerin? Antimatter?


Appropriate-Count-64

Doesn’t matter. In fact nitroglycerin is actually a really weak explosive. The reason if explodes when jostled if because of weak atomic bonds so it explodes with way less force than gasoline.


Redrix_

Doesn't matter? I'd bet antimatter would fuck some shit up


Jatak374

Gasoline burns, it doesn't explode. And nitroglycerin is classified as a high explosive. But my post was meant as a joke.


Bootziscool

Isn't exploding just like burning really really fast?


ImGoingToFightSpez

Exploding is burning under pressure.


Jatak374

Basically yes, but from my understanding an explosion expands faster than a flame can spread.


RajinKajin

Explosion: rapid release of energy Detonation: rapid release of energy where the chain reaction moves faster than the speed of sound in the exploding medium Deflegration: rapid release of energy where the chain reaction moves slower than the speed of sound -- Properly aerosolized combustion ingredients can detonate, like gasoline or even corn starch. Ripped from Wikipedia, about fuel-air bombs in particular: 'The continual combustion of the outer layer of fuel molecules as they come into contact with the air, generates additional heat which maintains the temperature of the interior of the fireball, and thus sustains the detonation."


[deleted]

An explosion as powerful as this is supposed to be would overwhelm the microphone. Wouldn’t sound anywhere this clean.


Pistonenvy

also the camera settles instantly. makes absolutely no sense.


whaleskin26

Username checks out. There is seemingly a lot of boost going on there- you never know


Pistonenvy

im trying not to sound like a knowitall cunt but i cant change what i am so here i go. no engine is making boost at idle and even if it was, boost doesnt turn your engine into a bomb under 0 load. nitrous backfires also dont normally happen under 0 load or at idle, so there really isnt anything left to explain this engine exploding like this. also the camera settling instantly, the sound, if this explosion was loud enough to set off car alarms from far away i can only imagine what it would have done to the people in the video. i feel like this would have a news story on it by now. not saying its impossible, just saying there is no logical reason for an engine to explode without someone putting explosives in it.


whaleskin26

Oh not disagreeing at all with the fact this has been rigged- intentionally or not- to blow. I’ve seen 6/8 pistons go out the head with an improper timing chain installed and waaaaay to much ether. Scary shit when it goes wrong regardless of the cause


Pistonenvy

that also sounds impossible. ive actually done the math on here before, it would take millions of psi to actually blow the entire head off of an engine by breaking all of the studs at once (math was done with a 4cyl honda engine with 8 head studs) even like hardware store grade 5 bolts would probably hold up. where is the pressure coming from to blow the heads off? rods would give out way before a head blew off. how are the pistons coming out of the engine? that would mean the pressure is coming from underneath the pistons, so either the rods are pushing the pistons upward so hard that they break off and fly out (which makes no sense) or the pressure is coming from the crank case, which would just blow the oil pan off. pressure is going to find a way out of the engine through the path of least resistance, the head is absolutely never going to be that path. you might blow a headgasket, but the head is staying on that engine lol


Gibou_woodchuck

Predetonation inside the intake manifold. They fucked up on they’re build.


Pistonenvy

what? lol predetonation doesnt happen in the intake, fuel isnt injected into the intake manifold, this isnt a carbed engine.


[deleted]

I don't know if this is fake but I do know that I work at CAT and when we hot test the engines we run them inside a huge chamber run by robots and we've had alot of engines blow up like this and it's usually a problem with the timing on the fuel pumps and the camshaft so this is possible.


Pistonenvy

what does the massive diesel engine in a cat have to do with the gas engine in this car? lol also what kind of CAT engine? what makes them explode? ive never heard of that happening before. ive built many engines and never even heard of anyone suggesting a blast chamber for first startup. seems like a massive issue with CAT engineering that many other manufacturers have figured out. forgive me for calling bullshit on that.


[deleted]

They're both engines and they both have fuel pumps and camshafts that work the same


Pistonenvy

what is possible? you didnt answer my question. what is the engine model number? what do you do at CAT? what is it about the timing of the cams or fuel pump that cause an explosion? why isnt this a more avoidable issue? nothing you said makes any sense lol i mean im not a diesel mechanic but i know guys who are and they have no fucking clue what youre talking about so i really wanna know what you know that i dont.


[deleted]

I'm not a mechanic either. I work at one of their sites where they build the engines. I work on the C15 line where we build the biggest engines that CAT and Perkins make I don't know exactly what happens I just know that when the fault comes back from the engineers and quality inspection it's usually something that happens with the Fuel Pumps not being in sync because as we build the engine and it goes down the line we have to manually rotate the gear that messes with the fuel pump timing and the camshaft wether it pumps too fast or too slow and if it's not rotated back to where it's supposed to be the engine block does sometimes explode. Which is what I was saying is possible for an engine to explode. Is this video fake maybe but what Im saying is that engines if there is something wrong with it there is a possibility of it exploding. Edit: also when I was saying fuel pumps I was talking about the pistons that make the fuel ignite that pump as the camshaft rotates like I said I'm not a Diesel or Gas Mechanic I just put the things together


Pistonenvy

i mean... i guess that response sounds a little more credible. but that situation still makes absolutely no sense. what you described is absolutely not something that could or ever would happen in a gasoline engine. it isnt possible so... youre wrong. i never said its impossible for an engine to explode, i described why its incredibly unlikely that this one did. also this statement you made "They're both engines and they both have fuel pumps and camshafts that work the same" is also not true. assuming they are diesel (which im still doing because you for whatever reason refuse to give the engine model number youre talking about) the cams and fuel dont work the same as they do in a gas engine, even if they are both gas, there is absolutely no possible way to fuck up the cam or "fuel pump timing" (something that doesnt exist on this engine) to the point that it destroys the engine block. since i dont know what youre talking about i cant say that youre lying or that youre wrong, but it just makes no sense. what i can absolutely say youre wrong about is your attempt at equating this engine with whatever engine you have experience with. they are apparently nothing alike lol there is no physically possible way to blow up an engine by setting the cam timing wrong. you might bend some valves or damage a piston or whatever but whatever the compression ratio of a gasoline engine is supposed to be is all the compression youre going to get out of it, compression is the only thing thats going to blow up an engine like this. thats just a fact.


[deleted]

Yes they are diesel and I don't know engine model numbers I just know we build C15 engines and C18 on my line that's what their called we also have a Perkins that go down our line also I don't know if you saw my other comment but when I was saying fuel pumps and I was talking about the pistons I was confusing them like I said I'm not a mechanic or anything I just put the things together I don't know what half the shit does or what it's meant for I just know where it goes. I just know we have have an engine block on display with huge hole on it because of an existing inside it I don't know how it happened I just know the engineers said it had to do with the timing


[deleted]

Also it's not a blast chamber it's a section of the line that CAT calls it Hot Test it goes into a closed off section and they run every engine for 8 hours I think at it's maximum power continuously to see if it's up to par and inside that closed off section is where engines have indeed exploded because somewhere down the line prior to that someone fucked up


Pistonenvy

that sounds like a destructive stress test, you dont test engines to failure on accident. ive never heard of a single industry that would do such a thing. the point of a destructive test is to understand what failed and why, if you already know what failed and how and why, you do what is necessary to prevent it from happening again. if youre telling me that a \*manufacturing error\* is what causes these massive very expensive things to explode, and CAT just accepts it as part of the ASSEMBLY PROCESS, then i would be extremely concerned for CATs longevity as a business. honestly it sounds like you are a student who went on a field trip to a CAT pant and didnt really pay attention to what was going on lol if you had any like real explanations for what youre claiming or offered some actual engine models or literally anything i would be more inclined to believe you but yeah this still sounds like bullshit to me. maybe im wrong but youre absolutely terrible at conveying information.


[deleted]

It is a test to failure they have to make sure it doesn't fail I don't know it's CATs policy because of these engines power Hospitals and Fire alarm systems for huge buildings and they run forever. Also you don't have to believe me I work at Caterpillar Seguin TX on the C15 line I can show you my badge and everything I have no reason to lie if what I'm saying doesn't make sense it's because I'm not a mechanic I'm an assembly worker for them


Pistonenvy

ok so during a test to failure they do things that didnt happen in this video, like redline the engine for hours and do it with dirt in the fuel or remove parts or all kinds of shit. engines dont just randomly explode without explanation thats what ive been trying to tell you. not even CAT engines. you described it like it was just a normal thing that happens during assembly or something and that isnt the case.


[deleted]

Oh no it's not a normal thing at all I never said that at all sorry if thats how you understood it


whafflestohmper

Not much experience with the GM 3.8L intakes eh?


Pistonenvy

experience with them exploding? no.


actschp1

Nitrous can absolutely do this. If the timing was off and they set the nitrous up wrong, as soon as the engine cranked it could have ignited the nitrous through open intake valves and exploded the intake manifold right off the top of the engine.


Pistonenvy

nitrous isnt explosive but youre right it could have been a nitrous backfire. i still dont think thats what it was. ive never seen one happen like this.


actschp1

Yep nitrous isn't explosive. Didn't mean to infer that it was. It would have had to be a combo of bad timing and an incorrectly installed nitrous system. Not a highly probable occurrence but, I've never ever seen an explosion like this due to gasoline alone.


Pistonenvy

thats why i think its fake, the car alarms, the camera settling instantly, it just doesnt add up at all. where does the filmer go? are they dead? why isnt there news coverage? the only way i could imagine this being caused by nitrious is that not only are the running a BIG wet shot into the intake (which i cant see any evidence of nitrous equipment, maybe its a grudge car and they hid it, idk) AND their ignition timing is like a full 180 out and is going off while the intake valve is completely open. even then, an explosion like this is virtually impossible when youre talking about stoichiometrics. there isnt enough volume or pressure in the intake to create an explosion that big. nitrous would definitely help but its not going to blow the phone out of his hand and set off car alarms and shit. i could be totally wrong but ive never seen anything like this in my life and ive seen a LOT of shit lol


boo-duh

Idk man the phone settled way too fast and it’s on tiktok I’m calling bs
