How AboutOne Big Ass Engine?

The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken.
It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.
The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%" colSpan=3> Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:</TD></TR><TR><TD width="5%"></TD><TD width="25%">Total engine weight:</TD><TD width="70%">2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)</TD></TR><TR><TD width="5%"></TD><TD width="25%">Length:</TD><TD width="70%">89 feet</TD></TR><TR><TD width="5%"></TD><TD width="25%">Height:</TD><TD width="70%">44 feet</TD></TR><TR><TD width="5%"></TD><TD width="25%">Maximum power:</TD><TD width="70%">108,920 hp at 102 rpm </TD></TR><TR><TD width="5%"></TD><TD width="25%">Maximum torque:</TD><TD width="70%">5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range.
Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.

 

Is that a big block?

 

Holly shit, that's a big ass engine.

I finally can contribute something..
Captured GOLDMEMBER in Sequim, Washington - back in 2005.
Here's what i believe to be correct:
Model A Ford
Engine: 37 Buick -364 c.i.' nailhead',
Trans: th400 + 9" Ford rearend,
Grill: 36 Buick,

I met the owner ,George ( last name escapes me) at a the Sequim Irrigation Festival back in 2005-
I remember George wanting to hit the Bonneville Salt Flats , If I remember, he said he was a regular.
I really dug the look of the car- front to back top to bottom...
any can fill in the blanks on this one- such as where is the car now????
p.s. The poster I saw last week in Amsterdam..
-41-

 

Saw this one at the Don Garlit's museum in Ocala, Florida

 

Dang that's cool, wonder why they didn't run pizza cutters in the front??? or some polished 12 spokes!

 

Maybe because it had an Allison in it, with 1000+ pounds on each front wheel?

 

Uh yea, that'd be the reason!

 

There are some cool pictures in this thread, but man, there's a lot of shit that shouldn't even be on this board.

 

I agree.

 

a few pics (not taken by me) that I consider cool:

Hope this helps...
