THATS ONE BIG TURBO[/QUOTE]

Thanks... I was just about to try again.

 

Is it from a tugboat?

 

I'm not sure what it is off of. I just ran across the pic on the net. HUGEEEEEEE turbo.

 

Maybe if I mount it in the bed and make a call to ARP for some headbolts...

 

I like the air filter...

 

This engine perhaps?

 

He does have a point....Mmm hmmm

 

I don't think it's big enough for that engine unless it uses one for every cylinder.

 

Thats one big turbo

 

I was trying to figure out how to route my exhaust pipes to this one myself...

 

Might need to add a few more gallons of oil to the truck at oil changes to fill the turbo

My last unit I was stationed at was a Coast Guard cutter. On of our biggest. Our Engine Room had 2 diesel gensets (V-8 confinguration, this engine stood taller than me), 2 P&W FT4 gas turbine engines, and 2 Fairbanks Morse 12 cylinder engines. The turbine and F-M engines was for propulsion.

The F-M engine was a 12 cylinder, 24 piston, vertically opposed, 2 stroke engine. There are two crankshafts, an upper and lower. The pistons in each cylinder would come together to compress and fire. The bore was 8" and the piston stroke was 12", giving each cylinder 24" total stroke. This engine had twin turbos on it, approximatley the same size as the 2nd picture in MassyMan1089's pictures.

 

When i was in college, we went on a field trip to the Tennesee Natural Gas pipeline pump station in sharon springs, ny. They had two huge (read like 2 stories tall) cooper-bessimer inline 10cylinder turboed natural gas engines, and they had turbos that looked just like the one in the top picture. These engines were used for pumping natural gas from sharon springs to somehwere in massacheusettes (sp?).
When we were there, one was offline, and they decided to start it up for us to let us see. These things were air-start, and used ALOT of air to get going. They actually fired up fairly quickly, maybe after 250 or so revs, not bad i though for an engine bigger than my apartment.
