Here's A Triple-Turbo Cummins Diesel Blowing Itself Apart On The Dyno
This heavily-modified Cummins engine is seen dramatically blowing up during testing, with the entire block lifting clear of the bottom end
The nature of dyno testing highly modified engines does mean things go bang from time to time, but we’ve never seen a motor tear itself apart quite as dramatically as this one did.
The engine in question is a triple-turbo Cummins diesel, built by Ohio-based firms D&J Precision Machine and Firepunk Diesel. Apparently it was running 146 psi of boost and around 2000bhp at the time of the test.
When it does go, the block, head and turbos blow clean off the bottom end. The crank continues to turn briefly after the majority of the engine exploded away from it, leaving conrods and at least one mangled piston flailing wildly in the air.
It’s quite a sight…

Me after someone insults cars.
If going all in, couldn’t they get a billet block?
There are for SR20,JZ, RB and 13B housings and rotors.
I don’t think any of the motors you mention come as a billet block from the factory
God engine explosions are both amazing to watch and so terrible to watch.
Cue ‘The Fast and The Furious’ “Danger to manifold” memes.
Hahahahaha
If this doesn’t get top 10 comments, i will quit.
As someone who speaks Spanish I got Bamboozled by your comment(Que means What in Spanish). Its Cue* not “Que”

You’ve never seen something tear itself apart this dramatically? You haven’t seen any other high HP diesels fail.
The Cummins diesel is a very tough motor but that was way too harsh.
Damn… Such a sad video where you see a Dodge Ram’s heart exploding 😢
Tuner: Hey, we’ve gotten this far, you’ve got some strong components… let’s turn it up another few pounds of boost
Engine: Nah, man, I’m good here. If anything, I’m running at 110%
Tuner: What, you’re good for more boost? Okie dokie, let’s go!
Engine:
Oh come on, it wasn’t even 2400 HP. There are 3500 HP diesels out there.
