1,556,002 cubic inch diesel engine

[Metal MP5]

look at those torque numbers! lol

i love how they put steps to go down into the crankcase

 

[leetpcguy]

102 rpm.....wow

 

[Jeph]

Wow

That thing must be SO loud! Think if it was a turbo diesel how big the turbine would be!

 

[Maxx Mazda]

How big of a starter would you need for that?

 

[Metal MP5]

5,608,312 lb/ft @ 102 rpm LMAO

 

[Metal MP5]

maybe this? or bigger?

my friend use to design engine parts for catapillar. He sent me a pic of him in side the combustion chamber. he is not a small guy either.

Sign me up for one. I'll put it in my MP5... or the other way around. LOL!!!

 

[Metal MP5]

haha yeah well caterpillar makes engine that produce up to 13000hp(or so) .. .those things must be HUGE

 

[TheBryGuy]

It is turbocharged. Instead of having one HUGE turbo they have several smaller turbos. I just watched a Modern Marvels thing on it. Gotta love the History Channel.

 

[Metal MP5]

well it looks like a single piston is bigger than your car lol

neato. crazy asians

waste of money if you ask me.

 

[TheBryGuy]

Not at all. The engine is super efficiant. It's used in the huge cargo ships. It's super super reliable and very durable. For the amount of hours those engines have to run a regular engine would die.

Mental should jump all over this....all this needs is some forged internals, udp, etc....etc..

 

[noclue119]

doesn't dieasel engines have to pretty much have forged internals since they get combustion by compression.

 

[Metal MP5]

if you read the article you'll see that it's % of efficienty is higher than a regular engine. i think something like 50% of the fuel's energy is transfered into motion which is more than regular engines iirc

 

[Metal MP5]

i dont know ... i was just bored at work and started looking at caterpillar's website to see what kind of high power engines they had then the words "biggest diesel engine" came to mind so i checked google hehe

but looking at those compression levels i think they probably do

[vindication]

noice. This is really cool to see the workings of a diesel engine. Everything is blown up and easy to see. Plus, no busted knuckles trying to get at cramped spaces such as on our motors.

 

[TheBryGuy]

When they work on those engines they have to drain the oil in the crank assembly and climb into the crank housing.
