Really Big Engine
 

1) What's it's 0 to 60 time?
2) Can I turbo it for more power?
3) How often do the belts need to be changed and is there a special belt tensioning tool I'd need?

(I just thought I'd spare someone else the problem of asking these questions - LOL!)

I hate to be the one that has to torque those head bolts.....

Can you imagine that thing throwing a rod ?

i bet they always remeber to retension at 1500 miles!!!

50% thermal efficiency.

If you used a plasma electric generator and recover the latent heat as steam for another electric generation stage you could get 80% efficiency. With less moving parts.

Maximun power is at 102 rpm???

And were is the idle? We cannot do burnouts with that!

Holy crap...where would you use something like that? That's awesome...

But you know what it needs..............

Some naaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwzzzzzzz

that is funny....lol

seen that one before a few months back. however, it still amazes me every time I do! absolutely awesome

Where did you saw it? in your fishin´boat? ;)

it's part of the new 944 turbo diesel conversion

It is a ship engine. Wonder how they get it to the ship.

Sorry guys no turbocharging cause it already has it.


And thats a good question how they get it to the ship.
A better on is how they get it into the ship or do they build the ship around the engine.

They build it as they build the ship. Can't do naws cuz it's diesel, but you could do propane injection... although the amount of propane needed is crazy. I wasn't aware you could do a 2-stroke diesel. Why would they do a 2 stroke on that large of an engine, I thought a 4-stroke was more effecient, and that seems like a place where effeciency is key.

thats nothing. i have tiny japanese men crawling all over my engine .....well - usually.

Work with engines this big alot. Saw a REALLY big engine on a container ship. 12 cylinder, 900mm bore, 3800mm stroke, and a huge 100,000bhp! Nightmare for the guys onboard as work comes up every port on them, no relaxing!

86' 944, trying to find cheap solution to corroded fuel line....

Yep,really the engine is not so big,is a kawasaki 1100 engine...The fact is the mechanics are japanese gnomes. :D
