Yah. Talk about grenading. I've seen just about every kind of engine failure known to man, including a crankshaft that split in half, but I've never seen a block literally split in half. Did you see the pistons still in the frame?

To add insult to injury he actually ran over his own engine. Talk about a bad day.

though it was kinda interesting after the engine left, that they were looking at were it used to be. could just about hear them say "It looks like something is missing."

that will happen if you replace nitrous with acetylene. or have wayyyyy too much boost and fuel. Go to a dragstrip and pray to see a turbo RX7 with a huge turbo to explode. those are the coolest to watch grenade. Literally grenade. Parts go flying everywhere. seen it twice in person.

People are actually insane enough to juice with acetylene? That's nuckin futs! I do have to admit though, I've always wondered what would happen if someone were to inject a shot of pure oxygen into the combustion chamber. I would imagine that would be an impressive explosion as well.
