I'd swap it into my car, but the F/R weight balance would be all off.

Wahh, why would you need a turbo if you're pushing out 108,920 hp at 102 rpm?

that ind of hp is nt much when you consider an engine like that probable moves a sub or a ship, hell even a huge turbocharged diesel engine ona small ship makes it move at some thing liek 15 knos... not fast at all....

its all about the power-to-wieght-ratio, some at times turbochargers are a necessity for those engines.

Its not about horsepower or power-to-weight ratio for a ship engine.

Its about torque.

Thank God for diesel engines

get a VAFC2 and get it to kick in at 110RPM and install a turbo with 25,000PSI and a direct port wet nitrous system spraying 500,000shot of nitrous! that cruise ship will haul *** so fast that it will cut the ocean in half! I wonder if it sounded like wooowaaaaaaa wooowaaaaaaaa when the vtec kicks in!

I would love to hear the blow off valve from one of the turbocharged ones (if they do exist). I think it would look amazimg to actually see a huge cruiseliner or something standing still in the middle of the ocean, just blast off into any direction at an extremely high speed. One concern would be stopping though.

hahah none of you really know much about ship's engines.....my realm...I am a navy contractor engineer

man let me put this in perspective

that engine weighs 2300 tons.......certain classes of ships only displace 7000 tons including AIRCRAFT........

that is larger in size than a PC class ship...and a quarter the size of the MHC class ships


It has enough power to push a carrier no problem


but BUT imagine a major overhaul on that once it is in a ship
