This is different (ENGINE DESIGN)

[barty5]

what the shit!, that design is all kinds of crazy

to many movin parts to fail.

did I read the BHP for over 3000cc right? seems kinda low

yeh its is diesel though torque figures would be interesting. My old VW transporter was turbo 2.5 5 cylinder put out 110kw - 147.5hp but had 250pds of torque.

a supercharged 3.5L engine producing 90bhp, torque figures would be fuck all im thinking, though the torque curve would be interesting to see, engine would probly have some crazy dynamics at different rpms.

Yeh shame they dont show it have to remember that diesel engine relie on torque not hp for there power

but torque times rpm is hp, so are usually very similar, with the exception of two strokes and ricers etc with big powerbands

Take into account it was being built and used in trucks 52 years ago,
90 BHP is not bad for a 3000cc desiel when Ford and Chev were only getting 110BHP out of there V* truck motors,
The 3 cylinder Commer was a very common truck here in NZ,
Im sure there are a few here that remember tbe Bull Nosed Commers, almost the first common cab over engine truck.

yes more rpm = more hp but when you look at diesel they rev low my dad old boat had 400hp twin v8 diesel maxed out at 3700rpm but put out 700-750 pds of torque each pushed 11tons of power cat to 32-34 knots although it did drink around $50 an hour and that was 4 years ago when diesel wa cheap hence the 3000 liter tanks. try filling that suxer

yeh, i was thinking more for bikes cars etc, where gears changes torque depending on motor rpm. Musta been a decent sized boat to have 3000L tanks

That first post engine would be impossible to get any power out of, or balance.
ps Its nothing like a subaru engine
