Come on, that's the 9-cylendar model. Only pushes out a measley 70,020HP.

Check out the bore/stroke specs - 960mm bore, 2500mm stroke!!!

As HUGE as those pistons are, they only have about 10" of stroke

That's a bit of a weight adder, though, at 2300 tons...

And, we thought the L got bad gas mileage? At full load, that thing drains 121 gallons of fuel oil per hour!!!

 

REally if you think about it 121 gallons per hour at max load is VERY impressive.
Assuming i am figuring this right,

42lb injectors at max for an hour, at 42psi of fuel pressure, and 8 injectors your lightning COULD use 55 gallons of fuel per hour.

=) Soooo add a few psi to that and you'll see that is really impressive for that big motor =)

Actually, it's the ten cylinder model.

 

haaahaaahahahaah psp stroker crank!!! ahahahaaha 330 to 1 million cubes ahahahah!!! i want one, but i think i might have to beef up my suspension a little and some load range z tires

 

Hey 125 rpm wasn't a bad guess. Actually that extra 25rpm came from a chip & filter.

 

Damn, The pic beat me too it! I would have bet my L that was a Sulzer. Thats what I work on! Actually, I only worked on an 8 cyl triple turbo two stroke. Now that baby was a high revv'r, yep, we could spin it up to 115 rpm in a pinch!

 

I'm starting work on the bell housing adapter for the MOnster Box for that one. I think it'll need some extra plates in the intermediate clutch, too.

yea and a 50 rpm stall coverter woohooo!

and what in the world would they use a motor like that for anyways?! youd figure a gas turbine would be more effecient than a gigantic piston engine

 

IHRA PRO STOCK MOTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Silver-Bolt looks to be an engine made by Hyundai ! Thats right, they make the biggest engines in the world for Enourmous FreightLiners....but cant manage to make a car worth a crap...LOL.

 

Not even close bubba!! We use those giant Sulzers on ships. The Navy (and government contract) is the only people in the world to use gas turbine propulsion as commonplace. The power difference is incredible, but so is the fuel consumption. Actually, the air craft carriers are all (except for 2) Nuke. Nuke is nothing more than a steam plant (read old fasion power plant) that has a self contained "fire" or heat sorce, and can produce "public knowlege" of 300,000+ hp to move a 1300 ft carrier "in excess of" (read double that!) 30 knots!

 

Hows about adding a shot of nitros to it.... Hope the rod are hardened...
PEACE..............

 

Whip, are you a MEBA 1st, 2nd, or chief? I think you said before, but I'm getting old and senile so I can't remember.

 

2nd A/E Steam/Motor/Gas Turbine...Sitting for 1st in the spring! I'm a MEBA dues payer, but I'm working for MSC, will be group 2 in the spring, and will ship out of the hall. How bout you?

 

I am a land-lubber. My buddy is a MEBA dues payer. He's 1st on the Matsonia. He's got his chief license for steam/gas turbine, but he works as 1st. He shipping on the west coast, although he's from Maineiac.
Great job though, 3 months on 3 months OFF w/vacation!
Good to see your off the Atlantic for the winter though.
