Video of the Week: Nitrous Kills a Motor in a Spectacular Display of Automotive Irresponsibility. We Approve.By Brian Lohnes Posted 04/30/09
Over the years there have been a couple well documented magazine stories about taking a wheezer junk motor and pumping it full of so much nitrous it blows its guts out giving it maximum effort. Most of those stories end with the motor making a harmless bang. Not this time. The print guys pale in any comparison to the action in this video.
Watch and see a straight six come apart in truly glorious fashion when pumped with God knows how much squeeze during a dyno shop’s Christmas party. Beware, some of the language at the end is not safe for work, so turn it down after the rods stop spewing from the oil pan. Yes, you read that right.

That motor explosion was a "Clutch Explosion" at Lions...it's the very one that severed his foot.
I used to do this kinda stuff all the time while running engines on Benzine and Alcohol. Way cool....these Aussies are a day late and dollar short. Wish I would have been invited cause my Christmas Sucked in Sydney. Maybe I will look them up.

those are some brave folks.... when rods exit they certainly have enough velocity to cause serious harm. Case in point, the motor explosion by Don Garlits that killed a spectator.
Oh well, darwin award pending ;)
