Think you got torque?

[VSP]

Think again.

From Wikipedia:

The Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is a two-stroke turbocharged low-speed diesel engine manufactured by the Finnish manufacturer Wärtsilä. It is currently considered the largest reciprocating engine in the world, designed for large container ships, running on heavy fuel oil. It stands at (13.5 metres (44 ft)) high, is 27.3 m (90 ft) long, and weighs over 2300 tonnes in its largest 14-cylinder version — producing 109,000 brake horsepower (81.3 MW).

So how much they charging to swap this into our Civics?

From what I hear, Hasport hasn't began work on the mount design yet.

lulz I would love to hear it running open header at about 6K RPM

 

[EMIIspecED]

when does the vtec kick in?

Too bad it's max RPM is 102

It's torque numbers are incredible: 5,608,310 ft·lbf

This is what one of it's bent rods look like:

That's what happen when you turbo an engine without internals mod

as long as you can pay for it they give it, just need slight modification to the frame so it would fit but that shouldnt be too hard

OP needs to do a mini-me swap.

 

[s_crowley 17]

lol this is just funny to me..

OP needs to do a mini-me swap.

So which engine will help me beat Corvettes at the track next week?

 

[somejaykid]

all it needs now is NAWS lots of it

 

[XpL0d3r]

oh... my... God....

that guy has a purple hard hat.

i wonder how big the combustion would have to be to make one of those pistons move.

 

[Aaron.]

wonder what type of mpg it gets, like .00000001 lol

 

[VSP]

Here's some pictures of the ship that it ended up in, the Emma Maersk:

Fully loaded. Need that VTAK!!

 

[vjf915]

That thing DEFINITELY needs a wire tuck.

Door trim needs to be paint matched too.

I'm not sure what the energy conversion to Joules is offhand, but according to the Wiki entry this thing puts out up to 6300 kW per cylinder.

Compare that to your average, say, d16y8 that produces roughly 24 kW per cylinder.

That's about 265 times greater than what once of our little engine tubes can do.
