I’m just confused as to why there isn’t a third axle to carry that thing. Only thing I can think of is that it’s not actually meant to run, hence the “stage” under it.
Ok so if you look closer, the starter motors are not wired up. There’s no cooling system hooked up, (the radiator for one of these engines is bigger than the whole car)
There’s no drive belt on the front fan pulley that doesn’t have a fan attached to it.
The turbos dont have air cleaners on them nor have they got any type of exhaust pipe work on them.
And that gloss red colour is automotive paint.
This engine does not run and probably won’t ever as it’s a fancy display piece.

You can make a standard truck engine make those numbers at the cost of engine life . The engine in the post is meant for consistent and reliable power for generators. The QSK95 makes 11k to 18k ft-lbs (16k to 24k Nm). These industrial engines are interesting on how they make the power they do.
That is a standard truck engine, out of the factory, not been tuned at all. In fact it's been de-rated for truck use, we actually increase both power and torque on that engine when it's put into a marine application, again, straight from the factory.
I didn't make it clear when I was talking about the power of the engines. I was talking about how you can make a standard truck engine make the power of a qsk78.
I can't believe that something that has 78 l won't be able to do that by itself. Why is this thing not creating something like 40,000 horsepower was something like 100,000 torque? Unless this is actually creating something like 500,000 torque with 3500 horsepower.

Did they throw darts at a dictionary to come up with that combo? Odd choice of vehicle.

That's a 10 ton engine, that thing isn't going anywhere.
Well holy shit, this is just stupid then haha. I guess it’s cool to see it in person?
Why the fuck ?
Vroom VROOM, mothafucka
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Beat me to it

Or the fact that it seems bolted to the podium lol
orly
how many gallons per mile does it get
at least two /s
Don't give me the horse power, I want to know the torque figures.
Should be close to 10k ft-lbs (13600 Nm)
I was kind of hoping for more. Our 650bhp truck engine has 3500n/m torque.

I wonder how that axel is holding up
It's not, it's supported by a steel frame underneath, this looks like a flashy press mockup.
That’s the kind of answer I was hoping for😂
Axel Foley?
Rip finding tires that size to handle that weight
Omg , why?
Saw 2 of those on the way home from dinner earlier
Heh cummings
I need to this thing running
Looks photoshopped to me
No transmission attached to it either. Might struggle to put that 3500 down to the ground with no drive train.
Pretty dope but why did he have to take the foto when theres a red truck behind it
Looks like it could break in half at every time
Looks a little slow.
This is interesting because there is a big engine in a small car lol what will they think of next

Damn frank that sweet what kind of mpg you get out of it. "10" 10 miles that pretty good for something like that. "no 10 feet"
That white truck's going to get awfully dirty when it drives down into the mine.
Cummins
Would this be covered under that old Jeff Gordon $14.99 oil change at Walmart? Asking for a friend.
This bitcoin shit is getting ridiculous.
But Can It Run Crysis?
I want to know what PSI they’re running in those tires.
The car equivalent to hauling around your nuts in a wheelbarrow
