U wot m8?
That cunt is leaving not with a bang, but with a long drawn out, petulant whimper.

What were they trying to do in the first place?

Dyno test I guess
Measuring BHP, Torque so you can tune the engine management for maximum performance, economy or in this case kaboom

But why did it explode?
Why was fuel where it shouldn't be and how did it ignite?

Extreme overheating can cause components to fail or even melt.
I'd like to strip the engine to see the damage, the only real way to know.

I'm assuming either too much boost or someone not giving nitrous the respect it deserves.
My guess is nitrous. The cylinder head must have lost its seal or come loose entirely under the pressure. As for the flames, they're dramatic but there isn't a great deal of fuel burning. Probably just what was left in the lines after everything shook itself apart.

Looks like bad/overenthusiastic injection.
With diesel, some strategies, like using fuel to charge cool, can lead to spectacular results (as in KABOUM) if taken over the tipping point.

it 'dieselled'
diesels don't have spark plugs - the pressure in the cylinder is sufficient to cause ignition.
if under stress, like say a high state of tune, or due to wear, (for example the piston rings wearing) the engine oil in the sump, finds it's way into the pistons and being remarkably similar to diesel oil... it runs on it's own oil, which isn't regulated like the diesel fuel... so it runs away with itself
or 'diesels'

At first I thought that it was the dyno blowing the smoke, but now I’m not so sure.

Looks like oil burning rather than diesel.
Explains why it increased over time.
I've only seen petrol engines dieselling, for different reasons.

It's really fun when it happens to a stationary diesel with a broken turbo
Your only hope is to either stuff something in the air intake and run away, or to apply whatever brakes they are... and run away.
