This is what 107,000 HP looks like...

89 feet long and 44 feet wide, 107,000 hp at ~100 rpm, 5.6 MILLION lb-ft of torque. Large ships are often powered by engines like this.

Put a cam and headers on that bitch and you'd probably increase HP by a solid 20%...

How much more could I get with headers and a cold air intake?

[Datawiz]

Needs NOS. :D

Hell, I don't even know how you measure HP on something like that! I'll bet it's not a dyno, though.

[boracayjohnny]

So, you're saying I'll need to upgrade the Civic suspension a bit for that to work?

[MrPeabody]

Thought this was going to be a thread about the top ten qualifiers at an NHRA event.:yesnod:

and stickers...lots of stickers!

They make a kit for that. It's $144M.

You don't measure it. Its all calculations based on design.

It needs some forced induction to make the really big numbers though. :Jeff '79:

Add 10% with a K&N filter.:seasix:

This thread is gold Jerry....gold.

I have seen two engines that size or damn close, first was as a little kid leaving Cleveland Ohio to go west on a pass ship with the folks and my cousin/his side of the family....and me being all impressed with the engine vibrations, and getting near a open door and a very steep steel staircase leading down to this COOL engine that I was watching the valves open/close and crankshaft turn.....I remember the stairs were WAY high, and wanting to climb down off the landing, but was signaled to NOT do that under MAX destruction by 'adults' much bigger than me......oh well.....


and so I also remember the discoloration of the Cuyahoga ? sp? river into Lake Erie and steaming away outta the discoloration they said was oil that caught fire in the early? 50?s near the docks.....

some decades later I here in Florida and went to work as an electrician in a shipyard here, and went to work on an old German RORO....Roll on Roll off.....and it was bought by the Marines to .MIL spec except for hull thickness.....so got down into the engine room one day, and looked at that 5 cyl engine, about what is pictured above...never saw it run as it was in drydock, an impressive maneuver all by itself.....

MOTHER DUCK!!!!!......:shots::seasix::hurray:

Tell me about tire rotation on that trailer.

What kind of oil and how much of it? For an oil change. :ohnoes:

5 drums, ~250 gallons is my guess, I want to know WTF they did for a FILTER!!!!

Pull that bitch into Valvoline like, "Hey, I got a coupon for a $19.99 oil change."

[lspencer534]

Fuel would be about (using average diesel at 140kbtu/gal)
1938 gallons/hr, at a pump price of $2.50/gallon
$4845
or $80.75 per minute
Check the credit card before filling the tank.

Do the refineries take those? :island14:

Diesel under two bucks here. Maybe they should drive it over.

However, that beast is probably no better that 40 - 50% efficient, so double up on the gallons/hr.

[Dave]

I'd be happy with whatever power the STARTER is putting out to crank that thing!

Yeah. But you probably need a nuclear reactor to run it. :D

[markids77]

Diesel fuel is probably way too thin for that fuel system. I think the proper term is Bunker Oil....

[Bill]

Look, for everyone bitching about the price to fuel that engine, I have it on good authority that if you don't run it flat out, it takes about 15 gallons/hour to run it in calm seas.

More than likely it's pneumatic.

(3,000 psi ship's service line, reduced to 200 - 550 psi admitted into engine cylinders)

[Black94lt1]

It's all calculated like the nitro cars are. I'm not sure where dynos stop being used but at 10,000 HP the nitro motors aren't dyno'd

Some of the smaller Diesels on Navy ships take about 1600 gallons of oil. I forget the viscosity index of the oil.
Typically the oil does not get changed but filtered and run through a purifier to keep the oil clean.

[Jasper711]

Seems kind of surreal considering a nearly 1000' long domestic tanker ship is powered by two 15,000 hp diesels and can operate nice and efficiently on only one of those.

[JRD77VET]

:iagree: The 1913 Cooper engine ( rated at 485 hp ) out at Rough and Tumble in Kinzers, Pa (http://www.roughandtumble.org) uses compressed air to start it. 175 PSI fed thru a 2" line and this engine is only 44,000 cubic inches

You need a nice light hull, say a 150' cutter, some serious gear reduction and that thing would mah-hooove...
