Post by **WDRacing** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 2:15 am

Impressive, over a million lbs of torque...

Actually, I wonder if a 240 will fit inside that motor.

HELLO. AND WELCOME TO LAST WEEK.

I cannot find the picture. just imagine. then cry. because you're 18monthslate with that site.

Who says you are not 18 months early? It's all perception my friend.

That thing is huge! An engine with an 8' stroke! I think you'd have some traction problems out out that kind of torque.

why does everyone think that just cause you are first with something you are inherently better? Its still cool, an engine that huge is timeless. And obviously some people on here haven't seen it yet. My favorite is the steps into the crankcase. How come MY engine doesn't have that feature?

You could with some cutting here and there.....and some custom engine mounts fabricated. However, the front to rear weight ratio would be off. You'd need stiffer suspension in the front to make up for that...

"The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine..."

I just want to take a look at that turbo...

Post by **andrave** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 2:15 am

damn I missed that part. **** I wonder what boost pressure it runs? wonder how many turbos?

Post by **andrave** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 2:15 am

this is on their corporate website, don't know what that means though:Mean effective pressure at R1 18.6 bar

Cylinder compression perhaps (18.6 bar = 270 psi) ? That's an awfully large number for boost.

Diesel trucks run boost with 22+:1 compression ratios.

Sure thing...since they lack a supplemental form of ignition (no spark plugs), they rely on the heat caused by the high cylinder pressure to ignite.
