Do you think it'll fit under the hood?

Lux,

Your gonna need a bigger truck. Stick with the 500 and leave this one alone. Could you imagine cost of an oil change?

Speaking of oil.....I wonder how many quarts it holds?

Wait, it's a 2 cycle diesel. Do they need an oil change?

I'd have to put the fuel tank on a trailer and pull it behind me.

100,000HP. That would definitely haul!

You must have veeeery big backyard for this engine :lol

backyard.. hahaha
you must have a lot of permits for this engine.

I also wouldnt make too much of a fuss over gas mileage.

 

[Chuck C]

do they really use these things ?!

 

[lux hauler]

Yep. This ship has one.

 

[Astronomer]

I was going to be impressed till you showed me that wimpy old ship....I wondered if you could go into orbit with that engine. :burn:

 

[Devil_concours]

you take your puny little engine and put it in your car i will take a jet powered engine and put it in mine.

 

[Scrapyard]

I'd love to see the tourque numbers on that thing. You could literaly tow a city block.

 

[elwesso]

They probably measure it in lb/yards!

I think the worlds most powerful engine technically is the main engine on the space shuttle, it makes 37,000,000 hp and weighs 28 tons....

Interesting way to 'lite the tires up' (referring to the 200 feet of flame coming out of it)

 

[elwesso]

That is the worlds most powerful piston engine.

 

[eehoepp]

I'd have to put the fuel tank on a trailer and pull it behind me.

And how big a battery do you need to start it? Would it fit in the bed? What happens if it doesn't start the first time? Just who is gonna be able to give you a boost? Well, you could always push-start it. :histeric:

Hey! You could redeploy the 500 as the starter motor!

biggest engine

The link in the first post isn't working for me, but my very brief research shows that the 12-cylinder Sulzer 12RTA96C engine (output of 89,640 bhp) is the most powerful diesel engine currently in production.

Here's a picture of it:

I changed the link....again. It keeps going dead. I don't tknow why.
Here it is again.

[Dead Sled]

I wonder what the starter looks like?
