Default I may be putting a diesel in my Roadster

Now that I have seen THIS diesel I might do it.

Andys new diesel engine



Fitting it in could be tough, but it does put out 108,000 hp at 102 rpm. Should be a good stoplight racer. 8*)

Total engine weight: 2300 tons


Might want to invest in some carbon fiber to lower the weight? LOL

I think the biggest problem you will have with this conversion, unfortunatley, is tuning the ECU.

I think the fitment would be perfect, its def worth a shot though, i mean u could always get a carbon drive shaft to reduce the 300 pound shaft to 100, and the engine itself well, its gotta make a half a million horses at 4200rpm so the weight shouldnt be all that biga deal right??? 2300tons = 4.6 Million pounds

Stock Z 3100 lbs. - 248rwhp @4800rpm
Upgraded Z 4.6M lbs. - 450,000hp (rough est.) @4800rpm

You do the math, thas a sick upgrade. 2 Thumbs Up, anyone want to start up a group buy?

Obviously there is room for improvment.

They aren;t even using a Tornado, which should increase the power AND the mileage.

HEHE...

The Engines on my ship get worse gas milage that that. 20,000 shaft hp Allison LM2500 Gas Turbines...6,000 gallons an hour times 4 at max capacity. But hey they are fast enough that we need goveners to keep a 9000 ton warship at "safe steerage speed". Whick is a nautical term for....so it don't fall over.

We beat Destroyers in drag races all the time, they have 100,000 shaft hp(to our 80,000) and weigh 2000 tons less. How that for the it's all the driver crowd.
