A&Q about 350Z
Q:

it's a diesel... but look at the stats:
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102 rpm
(for the 14cyl version, pic of 12 cyl)

A:
Reckon Jay Leno has one in a car?
A:
i've sen it before but it never ceases to amaze me, its a ship engine i think. i read that this (in ratio) is actually more efficient that you average factory stock car engine ! crazy....
A:
The history channel had a show on about a week ago on container ships that showed a similiar engine. I believe it was made by Man B&W. It took a few minutes for it to sink in that is was possible for something that big to work and work reliably.
A:
wow... over five and a half MILLION foot lbs of torque...(does random math) Thats 8615 Ford 6.0L Diesels! I wonder if I could get that motor in my fiero?
A:
Imagine if someone were to build a road vehicle for that, it would be awsome. Throw in some nitrous and lighten the whole thing and throw it down the speed way.
A:
Yeah I remember I was on a ferry in Georgean Bay and I saw the plaque with the engine stats and I was amazed. Red lined at under 150 RPM.
Nice link. 350 ton crankshaft..............lol
A:
Dude I hope your kidding. These engines are so big that you could walk around inside the cylinder. They spin at something like less than 100 rpm.
A:
yeah, but it'd be sweet to see one on wheels with a little bit more power. imagine seeing that going down the street(probably wouldn't fit but who cares) or strip.
A:
Definately wouldn't fit.
Would be interesting though.
A:
It fits snuggly under the gas tank of my motorcycle.
Tough to do a rebuild on though. hehe
A:
does it come with VTEC
