The little girl that is inevitably killed by flying debris at one of these dumb shows will be hailed as a hero and a martyr who sacrificed her life to the god of diesel in the name of owning the libs. Praise be.

At the very least don’t seat people on-axis to the rotating assembly.

They see engine failures as a reason to get right back up and give it another go.

The only thing that brings me joy when I see that, is knowing that they’re sending their turbos to an early, expensive grave. And wiping their warranty in the process, if it has warranty.

Measured in Canadian Bar so 50lbs

5 bar is a bit over 70 lbs

F1 cars back in the 80s ran 5 Bar or approx 50 lbs of boost

Ad there are clearly no provisions for blowing one up, which seems to happen on the regular at these bro-vents.

It is pretty bad.

I have seen way more of these “exploding diesel dyno pull” videos by now than should exist. If they insist on pulling this shit in front of a crowd, shouldn’t they at least do it inside something not unlike a batting cage? Someone will die doing this, and I will say “I told you so,” because I’m telling you now.

Crucially, the V12 generally won’t blow up when it does that

DEEP FAKE! This was obviously staged by Leatherman.

You should go into severe denial about it. That’s how my in-laws rationalize rolling coal.

That cloud of smoke is sickening. I'm no crazy environmentalist, but damn that's a lot of particulate matter. 

When I heard the spooling I was wondering how much boost there was to literally detonate and engine.

Or, just maybe, not do everything you can to cause this to happen in the first place.  Whatever, maybe not.

Or just drape a blanket across the hood and strap it to the dyno.

receiving 250 pounds of boost at 8,000 rpm

Now ... if only this would happen to every other coal-rolling assclown out there.

So...Much...Bro...Power...
