"How To Blow Up A Diesel?"

    Not really that difficult.

    A Golf is probably easier than a Jetta.

    When I blew up my Golf, I used Helium,
 
    but I forgot to tie a string to it.
   
    The last time I saw it, it was at about

    three-thousand feet and heading in the

   general direction of France.

i drained the oil and ran it for 5 minutes and it didnt run good, needed a tranny but she didnt care


there was a guy who ran slick 50 in his airplane then drained the oil... then flew it (he must have had huge balls) but his plane didn't die in the air... good thing you werent running slick 50 huh???  :roll:

can we please revise the intentions of destroying your engine?  i think we will need to call on the diesel judges... you may be charged with first degree diesel murder.  cold... calculated destruction of your motor!!!

you said on your post

so let me get this straight... if you blow up your current car.. your wife will have no reason for you buying a new car... i suspect you will be sleeping in the dog house for a while depending on how many flowers you buy her  :lol:

well yes but is there a way to blow up the motor without it being obvious. i mean.... the method of doing so. will sugar in the tank or draining the oil etc... something where no1 will notice.. if i can blow up this car then my wife will have no reason for me buying a new car.


Sounds more like you need to change wives than get rid of/ destroy the car. Just my $.02

if it was an na you could have some real fun like take out the air cleaner stick bolts in the air cleaner housing (or nuts) and and put it all back together go for a drive with her and when you accelerate the nuts and bolts will roll down the runners and into the vavles causing them to stick and make lots of noise. Or there is my favourite..... Drain your windsheild wiper bottle,cut your hoses and direct them into the intake, Spray as much either as you can (2 bottles if you can) and quickly tape over the lid and seal it off. Take her out for a ride and simply  "WASH" your windsheild and throw a piss load of either into the engine at a mid to high engine speed. :D

hope that helps...

I was thinking the same destruction,   maybe 91 octane,  run about half a tank and wait for a boom, the high compression ration of the diesel will just love the gas and diesel,  I have only heard the this is like putting a gun to your head for a Diesel so  DO it and tell us what happens.....


If you would like to donate your car to me,  well I could make it look like it crapped out,  smoking like a chimney, and  to top it off I'll bring a quart of oil motor oil and pour it on the ground and say hey,   I think shes got a leak EH!!

You'd be suprised how long these little diesel engines will run w/o oil.  I tried that very thing once. (I was upgrading the engine to TD, so I didn't need the N/A, and nobody wanted it anyway.)

We drained the oil and ran it around in a parking lot for about 10 minutes.  It gradually got lower and lower on power, until it finally quit.  We thought we were done, but once it cooled down, it started right back up.  It seems the pistons were swelling with the heat and eventually getting too tight in the cylinders.  We did this over and over, but couldn't get it to die for real.  Eventually we tossed sand into the intake.  Didn't help.  Then we tossed in some gravel.  That worked.

After the TD swap, I pulled the head off the N/A, and there was a bunch of rock powder that was keeping the pistons from going to TDC.  That's what eventually killed it.

By the way, yes, there was some very serious scoring on the cylinder walls.  I don't know how much of it was from the lack of oil/excessive heat, and how much was from the rocks.

Thats friggin awesome,  If I could get another NA motor for cheap I would do the same,   run it without oil,  and see what it could do.....  

This is similar to and Aircoole motor priciple; aircooled motors use circulating air to cool the piston walls and, the motor oil cools the internal bits.  

How could the motor keep up with the excess friction of the piston rings and pistons rubbing on the dry walls of the cylinder. It would slowly build up, but since there is no oil,  really you are just breaking down the rings and pistons and the bores of the cylinders with the lack of Oil.  

As to how this coul start up after cooling down I have no idea....

i would go for taking off the oil pan and loosening the rod bolts then finger tighten them and magically take it out for a drive and KABOOM!

Disconnect the fuel filter and put the feed line in a gas can. Loosen all of the injectors. Crank until there is no diesel left in the system. Let it sit overnight so the gas in the cylinders evaporates. Then soak the air filter in chlorine. Hook the injectors back up. Using a remote starter give'er.
For a remote start all you need to do is run a long, long wire connected to the positive on the starter and the solenoid on the starter. Touch the two together and if everything goes properly you should get some flying metal parts

I think this is a total waste of time I just got my n/a running 5 days ago and here someone is trying to kill one what a waste
My first was an 85 gas fun
my second is an 86 gas more fun
my third is a 92 n/a diesel project
