flywheel/clutch explosions can be caused by spinning something too fast when its not balanced, ie, a stock flywheel and pp.

Look up other kinetic explosions... terrifying. A 14 lb flywheel at 10k RPM is more deadly than you'd think...

The shot at the end showing the engine and trans sitting there was the best. But yeah looks like the flywheel that blew not a rod or melted piston. Had nothing to do with the fact that it was turbo'd. Something else was seriously mis-aligned or out of balance. Dudes lucky if he didn't have chunks of aluminum sticking out his legs.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable!

Come on guy, lets's leave the stereotyping out of this forum....not tightening down bolts on a fly has nothing to do with being Mexican and everything to do with being a d-bag who attempted to race a HONDA
