Fastest revving diesel??
Hi.
Just out of curiosity what is the fastest revving diesel engine you have heard of?? |
Renault DOHC four cylinder, something like 6500 rpm.
Slowest is a Vartsila Marine direct drive diesel -- 200 rpm. Peter |

No, the slowest diesel is this diesel:
http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsshb/12cyl/ 25,480 liter straight 14 cylinder 108,920 hp at 102 rpm 5,608,312 ft-lbs of torque at 102 rpm |
Yup, racing engine. DOHC, belt driven, ran like crazy. The gasoline version ran 12,000 rpm, sorta like a Jap bike.

Let's say that engine was made of a new material and only weighed half a ton. And you put it in a car. Would the car be fast? |
I wonder what its like to change a head gasket ;)

MAN that is some engines. I've never thought they could be made that big. Maybe I should try a turbo for one of those in my merc?:D

Yes, especially inpressive is the fact that the crankcase has ladder steps in it so that you can climb into the bottom of the crankcase.
|
how much for an oil and filter change on that?
I love the fact that it's basically just a massive version of what's inside your car. Rudolf would have loved it I'm sure :) |
