Turbo Duster gets crazy on the street, blows up on the dyno. Great Depression Racing
Blow out 2 cylinders (the Copper O rings on the Cometic headgasket) on the dyno. Also bend the crankshaft. First dyno pass (600+) fails to record. Car does 446whp on 4 out of 6 cylinders on the 2nd pull. You can see the entire coolant system empty itself during the 2nd dyno pass, plus some weird ground wire catching fire (stupid OEM wire that was 10 feet long when it only needed to be 3 inches long, no wonder Dodge is having troubles the last 20 years). This was the 2009 Nissan Dyno day Event. Won for most HP even though motor was blown but obviously the Junkyard is not a Nissan. The street pulls the night before included hitting 24 pounds of boost twice (accidentally) without adjusting the air/fuel ratios which probably lead to the crankshaft starting to bend. Fixed the boost controller and worked from 9 psi up to 19. 18psi on the dyno. Chase car is a 50 trim turbocharged VW Jetta on 15 pounds of boost nick named the “Stangbanger” for keeping up with his friend’s Twinscrew 331ci AFR heads stroker Mustang.
