Mother of all engine dyno explosions.

Diesels can use enormous amount of boost. 146lbs is doable with those 3 turbos. Being it was 2100hp I can’t imagine the the torque that thing made.

I think my old 400 Cummins back in the day maybe produced 30, but I’m not sure. There wasn’t any waste gates or anything.

And that's why you don't stand in the dyno room.

Anyhow, not sure the people who built that should be putting their names on the video. I doubt it'll drive much business.

I'll bet that's exactly what the guy behind the door was thinking what it went KABOOM!

140+ lbs of boost in a diesel is definitely possible. I knew guys making 80-100 lbs in their street trucks.

Holy carnage!!!
Was that a piston head that almost hit the camera?

Noticed that as well. Would be a great clip in 3D.

That is impressive.

Probably bad fuel. Bought it at an ISIS operated gas station.

Dial it back half-a-psi, I'll take it.

Based on the number of cameras in the room, I'm guessing this was the expected outcome.

The engine owner was probably moving on to a whole new setup and just wanted to see how much that one would take before it popped. That's what I would do, if I knew I was going to be putting in a whole-new, oil-pan-to-valve-covers engine. "Let's turn up the boost and see how long she holds!"

That was my thought too. I'm cheap, so I probably would have sold it for whatever I could get out of it, but his way definitely produces significantly better videos.

Nobody in their right mind would willingly cause that much damage to their shop/engine dyno, etc.

There's plenty of info out there from these guys about what happened here.
