1500hp diesel utes, wicked shit

[Oblivion]

Man, these things put out more smoke than a poorly maintained steam train.

More please

[scumdog]

Amazing!!!!

But what's the point?

The same as popping a wheelie

or doing a stoppie

Does there HAVE to be e a reason??

More smoke than a 2 stroke race bike even.

Very entertaining and utter insanity

like I said in post #1 a JA which were oil burners LOL... its interesting watching the colour as the revs rise, as the turbo comes on song they go very rich, the MPG must be well out the door, wonder if its just diesel or they use additives.

Getting away from the diesel utes a wee bit, this one powered by Curtis Wright radial aircraft engine

Which also makes me wonder what the compression ratio is!

listening to them off boost, hunting and missing , have to be quite low, then when the huge turbo winds up she's all go.
awesome!!

may run bit of jet/kero in the mix if theyre running lower compression and huge boost.
So is this the new winter project....... saw a cheap nuffield tractor the other day

Doubt if it would be a single huge turbo, more likely staged multiple (ie first turbo compressor outlet feeding second turbo compressor inlet, etc), to get the pressure and volume up

Maybe, but listening to a couple with dangerous today, you could hear what sounded like only one big turbo , they took what seemed like ages to spirl up and get on boost.


don't some of the new cat's run a twin turbo set up on their latest big blocks? as std

[scumdog]

And they dump a bit of nitrous in them too.

Saw a vid of a ' 91 Mustang do a 10.2 1/4 mile - and it was diesel powered.

Or LPG, there's been kits for road going diesels available for a decade or two which apparently give a bit of a boost

and some times it dont quite go to plan...

Your on too it scumdog , been doing some googling tonite on the subject. huge amounts of nos.
some pretty strong cranks and engine blocks!

Yeah .. so they pull heavy loads a short distance on dirt ??? Most tractors will do that standard ...

At 1st I thought they were truck engines, but I doubt you would get one under the hood of even a Ram... so Im asuming these Cummings engines are built for the Dodge's and Chev's... only well worked.

ahhhh, find a standard tractor that can pull what these guys do... look at the load, the driver in the dead weight operates the drag...
