: World's Most Powerful Diesel Unit453 06-23-2005, 10:01 PM Where do we find a site that sells them? I would like one....Maybe the wife will let me spring for that thing. Now I just have to find something to tow it.

Said it is a turbo charged two stroke. How does that thing ever get going? Thought the two cycle Detroits needed to be supercharged to get the air into the cylinders. Seems to me that after the first bang the engine would run out of air since the turbo is not up to speed yet. Jim nickleinonen 06-27-2005, 08:39 PM Just read the write up.

Jim most have electirc blowers on them to provide scavanging air until the charger can handle that... power for the blowers usually come from the powerplant/gensets many ships have on board... lots of them are large engines in the +10,000CI displacment range jholly 06-28-2005, 12:00 AM most have electirc blowers on them to provide scavanging air until the charger can handle that... power for the blowers usually come from the powerplant/gensets many ships have on board... lots of them are large engines in the +10,000CI displacment range Ah, that makes sense.
