you'd have to have some pretty crazy gearing to take advantage of all 100rpm...
imagine the size of turbo they'd have to use for something like that ;)

LoL, that thing isn't turbo'd I can guarantee that. The fact that each cylinder displaces more area than your car would make it just a wee bit impractical.
I've been inside the cylinder of a cruise ship engine block before, damn that's cool!

You sure about that???
They should try some high compression with a Toda valvetrain....and some vtec y0!!!!! |

It would actually be supercharged, the exhaust pulses at ~2/second would be useless in spooling a turbo. They would most likely have some sort of gear driven scavenging pump. I've never seen an engine that size turbo'd, however 2 strokes quite often are supercharged.

its the largest engine in the world.. of course nobody's seen one that size before..
I am not sure about the exhaust pulses.. but the sheer volume of air being pushed out would turn a turbo pretty well.. So its kinda feasable..

| If you look closely at the print you can see a turbine of some kind. With that much diesel, there is no way you could have NA and would need forced induction. My guess is each cylinder will have its own turbine. How the turbine is driven, I dont know. From working an many chemical plants around alberta, I would think they will use 600volt motors to turn the turbines. |
