Just thought some people might be interested. I am currently on work experiance at MTU Detroit Deisel in West Aust. and the other day three of these engines came(via truck) in followed buy a huge crane! Im ot too sure on the specs of them but they are huge! Over 3000hp! i think 8000cc per cylinder!!! Twin turbo V20's i think!

That´s a real engine. Just a thought, as part of your work experience program are you going to develop an instalation kit for 260Z´s :stupid:

[280zx Fever]

Yeah mate that will fit straight into the Z... ill just start modifing the cross member

[datto_240z]

hehe, considering the engine is about 5 times bigger than the whole car!

cheer'z'

[gramercyjam]

Cool. So what are they for? Generators? What's the fuel consumption rate?

[2ManyZs]

I'd have to guess they are marine diesels out of a pretty good sized ship...

Most of the smaller engines Detroit made for commercial applications were usually either V-12 or V-16's if I remember right........

Now I could really get into boating if I had those to play with.

...or maybe they're attached to something like this...

[datto_240z]

I'm not too sure what they are going into. They are brand new. I've only been there 1 week(work exp.)

The big Aust. wide boss man came into the workshop today and gave us a free lunch and exlpained everything 'bout the company and those engines. I think he said they were going into boats(45m)!!!

GunnerRob, I dont think they would hook 'em up too a man at what looks like a pump station !

Cheer'z'

[GunnerRob]

Yes, but I can't think of a faster way to get "pumped up"!

Talk about being "full of it"! :tapemouth

[Mr Camouflage]

Cool, Maybe i could get one of those engines to go with these......
