One of my friends from DHS works on building these monsters.

These are all at least 95,000 hp. The 14 cylinder versions are up to 115,000 hp now.They weigh between 2,200 and 2,500 tons.

[firestar12]

[Agent|Austin]

They are 3 stories tall.

Here is a broken connecting rod on one of these engines.



It is supposed to have come out of a big 100,000 hp Wartsila-Sulzer container ship engine.

that ship at the bottem almost looks like Vermas from ss08 (or at least it did to me)

[firestar12]

Im glad that they are enclosed. I would hat to imagine what would happen to a guy if he slipped in there...

[mempa]

Simply Amazing, I wonder what a shot of NOS would do to that engine...Lol

[Master Captain]

probally blow it apart as they run at low rpm

[Agent|Austin]

I believe the top RPM for these engines are about 125RPM.

Here are the turbos. The v14's have 4 turbos so I would assume that the 24's would have 5 or 6





Edit:

Similar turbo: http://library.abb.com/global/scot/scot208.nsf/veritydisplay/dce75eac1aa8f20cc1256fce00565df3/$File/2058_TPL91B.pdf

Notice the feature: Low Nosie, that thing probably sounds like a jet!
