Tips for Blowing a K8? LOL

[cWs306]

hey everyone, so im about to start to my engine swap soon here, wondering if anyones got any tips on how to blow a k8? LOL... Would just having it out of gear sittin in one spot with the rpm's threw the roof for a while do it without harming the tranny or anything needed for the swap?.. and i'd consider this a technical/performance question LOL. later.

why waste a motor? it won't do anything anyways, 9 out of 10 times it will just stop or slow down to a stop, nothing dramatic. Plus if anything "cool" happens then you have a mess to clean up.

If you want it to blow...

take a handheld propane torch, let it wide open, stick it into the intake, start it up with a brick on the throttle and run.

Thats what I would try

yah thats what i was thinkin.. but its not really a waste, the motor's practically shot anyways. i'm probably just gunna give it to a junk yard or w.e and that would do a little more then just blow up the motor hahaha. thatd be fun to see tho

Add one of those oil additives like Duralube then drain the oil and see how long the engine will run with no oil. Once you do that contact Floyd Stebeck at Duralube and tell him what happened. Make a movie of it.

Dan, your idea is way better.

Use the money you made blackmailing the company on wiseco internals

Sorry misread your post. Ok here goes,,

1. First clean the tail pipe off
2. Wrap your lips tightly about the pipe
3. Create a vacuum/sucking action
4. Swirl tongue around pipe end
5. When engine backfires you've done it.
6. Wipe any residual from pipe and offer the motor a cigarette.
7. Bask in the after glow.

Only good answer here so far:
125 shot of nitrous! Double your horsepower in a blaze of glory and run a good 14 sec ET too boot!

I think Car Craft or Hot Rod Magazine did that awhile back with a Pinto or Vega or something. Crammed as much nitrous into it as possible they got their 1/4 mile time down pretty far with the stock carbureted 4 banger before it blew.

DOn't blow it... Swap it into a Lawn tractor and see if you can Blow a wheelie....

Or watch it drive away at 50 Kmh.

haha good idea!, and totally off subject but i paid 500 for my mx3 too, first car. but i had to pay 600 for a parts car to do a auto-manual swap.

try running coca cola as oil, some old wives tale just remeber whatever you do you still need a couple parts off it like the disty.

Definately...but I'd have to go all out and spray a 200 HP shot of nitrous though...might end up with the fastest K8 1320 time on record

[cWs306]

200 shot... would probably blow the intake off the motor. LOL let alone make it down the track. thats pretty much double the hp the motor's got.
