Because it's from a bloody big engine... Ship engine at a guess (or oil rig / platform related).

[jon bda]

Turbo'd two stroke diesel!!!

[Macman]

Yeah it's a conrod, from a boat engine I guess. Look at img location.

Wonder how the fook that happened anyways??

[malfunction]

Yeah - I was wondering if the damage was done inside the engine (presume so) and what kind of mess the rest of the engine (or indeed the ship) was in...

I bet that makes 100,000lb/ft of torque and only 200bhp at 50rpm.

I bet that makes 100,000lb/ft of torque and only 200bhp at 50rpm.

If it was making 100,000lb/ft of torque at 50rpm, then it would in fact be making 952BHP.

Power in bhp = Torque in lb/ft x revs

5252

so whats the max revs does this go to? out of interest

oh and it wont work in a vw camper sadly, as it wont be very fast and will need a big gear box, which will be heavy and power lossy. for racing you need low torque and fast speed, (in the case of F1 and rally cars)
