Re: The most powerful diesel engine in the world
Something just struck me....if that is the size of the engine and a ricer tried to put it in his car...imagine how big the NOS bottle would be!

Re: The most powerful diesel engine in the world
102rpm! That's pretty quick for the size of that mutha! Imagine blueprinting/balancing the bugger...

Re: The most powerful diesel engine in the world
I suppose the high torque is due to the massive weight of the rotating components and inertia and stuff like that? or is it just due to its capacity and number of cylinders?
