The proper way to scatter an engine

[YoungPerformance]

I have seen some guys blow up their chit before, but this guys wins hands down.:03:
Never mind throwing a rod, he threw the whole engine.:sifone:

Hahahaha, yep, he done TORE that sum btch UP! :svengo:

 

[cigdaze]

Wow. That's one way to dismount it.

 

[Wild]

sorry buddy, i forgot to tighten those bottom bolts

 

[Scarab KV]

Sounded pretty cool right up to the point when.....

 

[Chris]

I've seen that before. The way it broke the block in two I've wondered if somehow the blowby in the crankcase was ignited and caused the explosion. You wouldn't think there would be enough oxygen in there- could the presence of n2o been a contributor?

Did JC have to warranty it?:26:

bad day at the office...

 

[imco offshore]

ya think those were 6in rods?

 

[YoungPerformance]

Maybe 6" around:biggrinjester:

 

[YoungPerformance]

Chris,
If you watch it in slow-mo, you can see it belch fire out of the turbo's first. It must have had an intake fire that led to the crankcase somehow. Some of these guys use nitrous, alcohol injection, propane, you name it. Lord knows what was in that engine to make it explode.

DAMN,,,and i always think chit only happens to me !!!!! LOL

Dayum :sifone:




ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sifone:
ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chris]

I didn't think it would break where it did by force or individual component failure. I've seen some nitro motors explode but never like that.

I know little about nitrous. Would it support combustion in an oxygen-lean environment like a crankcase?

 

[YoungPerformance]

I would think since it has oxygen in it. Not positive, but I would think.

 

[Chris]

I was always under the impression that n2o would not support combustion by itself, unlike pure o2. I'm going to look into it.

 

[jhenrie]

ya think those were 6in rods?

Just what I was thinking , some serious rods there

 

[cigdaze]

Yes. N2O is the sole oxidizer in certain high volatility rocket motors and satellite thrusters capable of igniting fuel in a complete vacuum.
Petrolium fuels need more at normal temperatures, but at elevated temperatures, N2O is sufficient to support combustion in the absence of O2.

Wow! Created an unplanned, used part yard sale.
