3424hp..

Just can't get excited about that. Too big, can do so much more with less.

Would have been better to route all 24 cylinders int a giant freaking turbo. much lighter too.

It's a 2 stroke engine.

It's a 2 stroke engine.

My point is that for all its size and weight there are engines out there that are far better at making that power level efficiently.

Engines that weigh half as much can make twice the power. 2 strokes have been turbo'd before but yeah its not optimal. I didn't watch enough of the video to hear that bit. But I still think the engine itself is little more than a conversation piece. There are better/cheaper ways to make that power.

That's not the point, it'd be like us saying you're wasting your time with the small block when you could be getting the power more easily with a big block - or forced induction.

Personally, I think the guy is an idiot but it's their money - IMO, he'd've been much better off with 2 or 4 14-71 top fuel blowers overdriven as the engine runs very slowly in comparison. That the blowers he was using were actually doing little work could be seen by the number being driven off a small drive cog.

As it was supposedly being built for a show truck, any links to it, couldn't find one?

It reminds me of the guy who used 8 turbo's on his V8 57 Chevy. 8 turbo's not good as the infrequent exhaust pulses would make the turbos not spool very quickly as compared to a single or twin turbo.

This engine is a great built. WOW.

Turbo's...efficiency etc.... F! all that.

That's nothing to do with this !

I hope to see the Peterbilt it is being installed in. [thumbup]

Quite the concoction they whipped up.

**itititit** · 03-13-2010, 01:37 AM

I want to know what kind of gas millage it gets? Negative 100?

**StizePypemype** · 03-13-2010, 03:03 AM

How is that gonna fit in that semitruck? (edit: oh i google the truck...might fit)

Why not make it V12 and have 1500HP...

**O25YtQnn** · 03-13-2010, 03:43 AM

If it's a diesel... and pushing 3k HP I wonder what the torque is? I would assume it's through the roof.

Because this is uique and one of a kind. The sound is better than those turbo whistles and existing engines.
Also they did not say it is going to be placed in a stock factory built Peterbilt. The nose/cabin have to be adapted to this.

IS is right, this is gonna be a show truk with a monster engine. [thumbup]
