If you wanna trash it that bad just go out of your way to do it and drop the new stuff in.

the stupidiest things happen that will cause a car not to run

Grandamgtblk99 · 07-25-2009, 01:52 PM

This is retarted. Seriously, if you really wanna build a motor just do it, why blow it up BEFORE you have a built motor.

I agree but there is something to be said about randomly destroying something just because you can. Can't you like adjust the boost so you blow up the engine instead?

AaronGTR · 07-25-2009, 05:52 PM

Maybe it's an experiment. He's trying to see how much the stock motor will take before it blows up.

westerndragon · 07-25-2009, 08:31 PM

just throw some sand inside your intake filter that should do it

Haughee · 07-25-2009, 09:01 PM

Yeah or run it with no oil. Thats a sure fire way to wreck an engine.

I assume 12lbs is max for your setup? Why not block off the intercooler on a hot summer day and gun it

Ask AFdefender.

After blowing through many fuel pumps; his mechanic dropped the gasoline tank.
& found sugar in the bottom of his gasoline tank.

That is why my GA always had a locking gas cap; when they came out.

& the G8 has a locking gas door; when the car doors are locked.
