ok, some stats...

this is a 14cylinder 2-stroke diesel with a displacement of 111,143 cubic inches per cylinder. overall displacement - 1,556,002 cubic inches! (25,480Liters, for a quick reference a 350ci engine is 5.7L... just think about that)

produces 108,920 horsepower and 5,608,312 lb/ft torque

total weight 2300tons (crank alone is 300 tons)



heres the site... look at the pics, its retarded.

and keep in mind most of these pics are of the 10/12cyl version... theres a 14 thats even bigger (the one w/ the stats above)

can't say that I've ever worked on that engine but I have worked on many of engines similar to that size and structure. Looks neat, maybe we'll get something in here like it.

 

I want that engine on a giant ZX-14! Although it would be hard to hold up at a street light.........?

 

that would be epic...

the general idea of 5million foot lbs of torque absolutely blows me away.

my cars between 3+400 ft/lbs and that hauls... i cant imagine how much power is at the propeller of that thing

 

i dont know if its still true, but KTM's LC8 engine was the worlds most powerful single cylinder engine.

i saw that motor on a tv show. pretty crazy, how do you measure that much HP?

 

+1 i was thinking the same

 

Man I would hate to have to do head gaskets on that lol

 

so where do you get bolts big enough to bolt down the head....they would just be threaded steel rods... and id like to see the torque wrench for that.

 

+1,,, tighten all bolts in numerical sequence to 565,500 ft lbs, Then back off all the bolts 180 degrees then in numerical secuence tighten all bolts to 300,000 ft lbs. then in Numerical sequence tighten all bolts 80-90 degrees

haha

 

lol craziness..... thats a huge motor.
