:shock:

Damn clever these Japanese!

 

Any idea what they needed it for?

Damn clever these Japanese!

 

Any idea what they needed it for?

 

These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships.

 

:)

impressive! Seen this before, updated to use common rail injection last year has made it 114,800 bhp or somthing stupid!

Damn clever these Japanese!

 

Any idea what they needed it for?

 

The 14 Cyl verison is used in the Emma Maersk container ship.

yeah, but as it's a diesel I bet it sounds crap :tongue:

You have to see them in person to appreciate them. I've worked on a container ship. The noise they make is incredible as well as the heat, especially when you're in the Indian ocean and it's 50 degrees outside! You can fry eggs on the decks.

 

They only rev to about 200rpm.

 

To start them, you use compressed air forced into the cylinders to turn the crank.

so any ideas how i could get this engine into my zed?

 

should fit in a lwb?

should fit in a lwb?

 

only if you take the air con off mate as ive allready looked into it

yeah with the targas out !

should fit in a lwb?

 

yeah, one in the front and one in the back. might struggle to get a quarter of a million horse power down to the tarmac though :smash:

i think it will be ok. i have new tires.

 

ul need a smithy big brake kit

Those things take about 2 miles to come from full ahead to stationary.

Hehehe you guys are mental! talk about tangents!

Those things take about 2 miles to come from full ahead to stationary.

 

iv sent them an email with a link to smithys place with a recommendation of the big brake upgrade... 2 miles is a bit much for the highway code

how bad it the mpg tho lol

About 100 tons a day! LoL
