Garden weed sprayer with gasoline in it.
This is so dumb.
Waste for the sake of waste, welcome to "1st world" earth.
I want to blow up the engine on my 2006 Jeta for charity

Just got back from the car show.
I suggested rigging something up to cause a runaway, but that wold be against the "rules" of seeing how long it will last with no oil and no coolant.
The engine started and reved at over 5k for about 10 seconds, then the oil light and temperature light came on and RPM was reduced to about 2.5k
So there is definitely safety features in that car.
Then it revd for 17 seconds more and just stoped.
The car show got rained out so i couldn't find anyone to film. Was very unspectacular anyway. A little blue smoke out of the exhaust, and nothing else.

Sounds like a wasted waste.

Oh well. That was an unspectacular waste of a waste. Would it have been against the rules to drain the oil out and pour that oil into the intercooler to help cause a runaway? It represents a real world scenario after a turbo failure where the turbo dumps the engine's oil into the intercooler and eventually finds its way to the engine.
