engine configuration
turbocharged two-stroke diesel straight engine, 6 to 14 cylinders
cylinder bore
960 millimetres (37.79 inches)
piston stroke
2500 millimetres (98.42 inches)
engine displacement
1820 litres per cylinder (111,063 cubic inches)
engine speed
92–102 revolutions per minute
mean effective pressure
1.96 MPa @ full load, 1.37 MPa @ maximum efficiency (85% load)
mean piston speed
8.5 metre per second
specific fuel consumption
171 gram/kW·h (126 gram/bhp·h, 9.90 litres/second) @ full load; 163 gram/kW·h (120 gram/bhp·h) @ maximum efficiency
power
up to 6030 kW per cylinder, 36,180 to 84,420 kW (49,200 to 114,800 bhp) altogether
power density
29.6 to 34.8 kW per tonne, 2301 tonnes for the 14 cylinder version
amount of fuel injected in a single cycle of single piston
~160 grammes @ full load

and it looks something like this >







I would love to stick one of those to my car xD

[nemesis_adrasteia]

WOW thats cool

[azzfox]

Has anyone done a write-up about putting one in a VN? Would I need to modify the K-frame? Does the T5 bell housing bolt up to it? Do I need larger injectors? Can I drive it on P's in Vic?

[Morton]

I'd love to know how many CCA it needs to turn that baby over on a cold morning

nah should bolt straight in mate, yeah itll actually bolt up to the T5 better than your current engine

[SteveJ]

Daaaaaaaayem!

[ruggj]

i want one lol

You should be able to drive it.. it's only rated 34.8Kw per ton lol

You might have to put a scope on the bonnet but other than that I can't see a problem other than a bigger fuel pump possibly

What no twin turbos ?!?! Pfffttt...

Beat me lol
What would that run a bottom end 10 down the quarter
what about a foam tune?

nah easy fix, rear mount it

[yeeeezy]

haha, chuck it on gas for some fuel econ
and no underground parking

more importantly, can it dose?

[TMM]

rofl, you'd be able to hear it from another country

[holdenhero]

I'll start a write up on putting this on a motor bike boys, stay tuned!

Some more pictures:
The Most Powerful Diesel Engine in the World

Been around for a while actually, if you Google for "world's biggest engine" or "biggest diesel engine" you'll find other similar powerplants.

The part I quite liked was the built-in ladders to get out of the crank case

[oldboi]

Kool eh ...
I worked for a minin company an they used those type of engines to run power to the mine/township.
They are easy to work on due to there size, but not real easy to move part's into ... they run a dry sump an external water coolin tower.
They were housed in a hugh factory type setup, with all major aux stuff underground or outside ... lol
They were V-18, pistons the size of the family car, hahaha ...

[Trayner]

Imagine changing a spark plug lol ! you would need a few ppl

[BENJAMUM]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet lol

[andyman]

I would love to stick one of those to my car xD

hehe that would barely read on the tacho on your ve,


although stating the obvious, it'd never work using it in a car hehe, only really good for big mofo, pumps, generators, etc

imagine when that big 2 stroke hit powerband, would be like vtec uleh!!

[S2_VR_]

thats not an engine....

lol and also i'll link a write up cause you do need to modify the T5 bell-housing... not by much though

[S2_VR_]

how do they start these?... would they need other smaller engine's?

lol

[andyman]
