What? Thats a real good way to have a runaway and blow up a motor or possibly worse.
I cant wait to see him on the next edition of The Darwin Awards. Dont forget the Dangerous Goods placards on the truck. Last edited by Dr. Evil; 11-17-2009 at 12:45 PM..

he wants to add 1/4 psi in front of the turbo when the truck is runnin down the road. i have also heard of a few people tryin this with gassers. he thinks it should be like hydrogen. just glad hes usin his rig for this experiment.

Isn't acetylene unstable above 15 psi? Wouldn't the turbo compress it to what ever the boost pressure is and further compression from the piston in the combustion chamber cause pre-ignition or worse? I mean a small amount of acetylene in a balloon is crazy imagine if it was confined to a combustion chamber.
Your buddy should do some research on the stoichiometry of acetylene before he lights her off.... pun intended.

Even at 1/4 psi - I still dont think its a good idea. JMO, FWIW Last edited by Dr. Evil; 11-17-2009 at 03:24 PM..

make sure you have a video camera running about 50 to 100 feet away from the front of the truck when he tries this
 then post to db so we can sit back and watch
