Hello-

Now we need to install a Stand Alone Fuel management and Nitrous Oxide in a bottle of 100.000.000 Liters and a turbo the size of a small truck, and than wenn you put your foot on the gass the exhaustgasses shout blow a large house away. :silly: :silly:

They _do_ have turbos, and they _are_ the size of small trucks!

These engines are able to get a BSFC of 0.278 lb/hr-hp. This is AWESOME! Not only is the 14-cylinder version of the Sulzer RTA96C engine the most powerful IC engine in the world, it's also the most efficient.

Now, let's think about this... 0.278 lb/hr-hp X 108,920 hp = 30279 lb/hr. That means that EACH CYLINDER uses 2162 lb/hr of fuel. Plus, because this is a diesel engine, we cannot use anything even near 100% duty cycle (must fire only when piston is near top).

Let's think about that one more time... 2162 lb/hr of fuel per cylinder (with 0.84 g/cc for diesel density) is about 308.5 gal/hr per cylinder. Now, at 102rpm, that means that 190.8 cc of diesel are injected for EACH revolution. That's friggin insane!!!

Of course, when your bore is 960mm, your stroke is 2500mm, and your boost is "lots," what do you expect? :-)

Take care,
