Big turbo. Big.

Weasy2k · 11-15-2005, 09:55 PM

give hte engine away for 100 bucks
send the money my way

ALLSHOTUP · 11-15-2005, 11:18 PM

Donate it to your local school system. There are tons of auto mechanic classes that would love to have it . Kids need materials to break down to gain "ANY" type of experience. One of my best friends teaches auto mechanics and they thrive on donations like this.

i go to the only school in the city with a mech program and we have enough... it runs verry verry poorly.. i wouldnt do the swap if i didnt have 2, this was my "first"(second car) car that i didnt have to put a tone of cash into so it has been driven unbeleveably hard for the last year and a half or year somthin like that

This exact thing was just done on MR2OC. Video and all. They ran the car until it blew. I believe it was Manning that posted and did this before. Bill Strong also blew up someone's engine at Kingston a couple years back. My point was to show just how unoriginal it is to do it. Once it's been done once and seen, it's pretty ridiculous to join into the crowd imitating it.

If you're going to do something performancewise to a healthy engine to show the limitations of modification, then fine, go for it. It provides useful info as to when certain internals fail. This isn't the case though.

In case you didn't see the Paul Woods video in the last few days, when his failed, it shot chunks through the block and into the engine bay, piercing a spot IIRC. It also shot a pretty good fireball that he had to extinguish. That would likely melt things that you'd not want it to if you're trying to salvage the mk1. Why hurt something you like? Believe it or not, I was trying to save you the hassle and potential hazard.

Here, I'll even post the links up:

mikeswickednick · 11-18-2005, 10:31 PM

fill it with egg beaters.... ull have a scambled eggs engine

AceX · 11-19-2005, 04:55 PM

Paul Woods just blew up an engine. Took him 5 min. w/ no oil or coolant. WHen it blew, I think it put a rod THROUGH the firewall...

EDIT: Ever seena Top Fuel Dragster motor explode? I saw one that melted the camshaft to half of the black while the other half was practically atomized by the exposion while the crank and rods were blown in half, the SC screws were cracked in half, and the pistons were welded to the block... Violence is a wonderful thing...

smartash · 11-19-2005, 05:14 PM

take the oil out. put in some high test and run it at the rev limiter till it blows.

blazinmr2 · 11-19-2005, 05:21 PM

dynamite

smartash · 11-19-2005, 05:44 PM

Fill the crank case up with gas and start her up.

Weasy2k · 11-22-2005, 01:21 AM

unbolt it and see how far it goes....
dunno how that would work....

deicon86mr2 · 11-22-2005, 06:59 PM

Ill take it off your hands if your gonna get rid of it but a big nitro set up would be fun. either way let me know if your gonna pull it i can always use a spare 4ag head.

Weasy2k · 11-22-2005, 07:49 PM

see poeple will take the engine vs watch you blow it up

smartash · 11-22-2005, 08:55 PM

yeah but wheres the fun in that.

Weasy2k · 11-23-2005, 10:15 AM

knowing it will be loved by someone else

frogg5872 · 11-23-2005, 01:08 PM

If you just find a nice vacant lot do some doughnuts and leave first gear tached and dont shift. It will eventually go. Engine can only take so much of bouncing off the rev limiter. Then you will have lotsa tire smoke and the engine will go in style.

Weasy2k · 11-23-2005, 02:28 PM

well how bout 1km of rev limiter bouncing while running 10psi supercahrged non intercooled

Lots of smoke....go taco go....i heart 5vz

TheAmazingDave · 12-31-2005, 02:06 AM

Hook a vacuum cleaner hose up to your intake. With the engine reving close to redline, put the other end of the hose in a bucket of water.
