Yeah, I think I torqued those .....

That didn't look fun.

Whoops. Someone's paying for that one.

Yep. The guy who asked for triple digit boost should be paying. Race parts: No warranty intended or implied.

Its shocking how those diesels will split the crankcase. There are lots of pulling tractor videos of that sort of stuff happening.

triple digit boost sounds pretty ridiculous. Anything more than 90psi is just excessive

Also, will one of those fit in an old econoline?

I'd love to know how much torque it was making just before it divorced itself.

It take a lot of energy to throw a diesel block like that.

more a die-sel than a diesel.. still, I would have loved to seen the numbers too

It got me, I flinched.

Pretty wild.

The intake tube swelling was nutty.

Weak ass Cummins motor, won't take a little boost...

In reply to Toyman01: All of it, until some of it accidentally turned into thrust.

Maybe I should rethink 60psi through an f2t.

Be sure to post its destruction video.

intake tube? that big tube going out over the top of the engine was the exhaust..

i think the consensus the first 3 dozen or so times that this particular video made it around the internet was that this was a destructive test that was done to find the limits of the parts.. so it was blowed up on purpose..

That is not any overspeed or destructive test I am aware of in all my years at Cummins. Test cell was definitely non-OEM. I can't imagine a third party having that much cash that they will push a motor until it breaks, but hey It could happen.

it would have to be aftermarket testing, cuz not one thing i can see on that engine is stock cummins becides the block, that just looks like total head stud failure to me

hey fueled by caffeine, where do/did you work at in cummins? i too work for cummins in the tech center, thats actually where this post is coming to you from

i know people that will spend a lot of money on engines just to see how big of a boom it will make when it lets go...

Worked for Holset in charleston for about 4 years. Years ago. Used to make the rounds.

I do recall one tale about hunting engine bits in a farmer's field...

Or the rod that was stuck in the wall of the Chrysler dyno were they tested the very first 426 hemis.

Guilty as charged. That was Jamestown engine plant in New York. I also had people retrieve stuff from the roof of that place as well. Those were all manufacturing failures. Always fun trying to diagnose a problem when all you are give to work with is a bucket of oily burnt parts. It was a very fun job.
