Re: You think you have a big engine???
Two questions:
How much boost was it running before it entered the workshop? and how much boost was it running it when it left?

Wow 16K lb/ft thats amazing. Theres something about diesel engines that makes me happy it probably has something to do with insane boost levels. The funny thing is though is that I like efficiency like high hp 4 cylinders but the diesel is not efficient at all.
I guess once my brother got his Duramax, and got it up to 350whp and 650 lb/ft with just a chip, intake, and exhaust that peaked my interest. 14.2 in the quarter for 6500lb+ crew crab truck is a spectacle, and fun to do donuts and burnouts in as youngvr4 would attest.

The Diesel isn't efficient??? The hell? Diesels are uber efficient... Dodge Ram 2500 Crewcab with a Cummins 600, 325hp 610ft-lbs can get upwards of 20-21mpg on the highway. It's a 6100lb truck. That's damn efficient. And a 3500 w/ 6 speed and single wheel axel can tow 15,000 rated lbs, but more accurately closer to 18,000-20,000lbs. Mercedes Benz E300 turbodiesel sedans, like my buddies moms seriously gets 26 mpg city / 34 mpg highway in a 3600lb car. The thing is a tank. It moves out too for a beast, cruises all day at 85mph with ease. It'll pull to 120mph easy. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI gets 42 mpg city / 49 mpg highway. That's not even a Hybrid. And... Diesel fuel is generally cheaper than gas. And you use less of it... thus you don't fill up as often. Diesels are awesome. I hope I read your comments wrong.

A turbocharged for a 6.6? liter however @ 30 psi 350hp/500hp+ with better injectors and propane is nothing. A gas engine with that much boost (if it could handle it) would push 1,000+hp, and similiar torque. Sorry about the misleading comment I thought when I said high hp four cylinders it would give the power vide and not the mpg vibe  To clear up any further misconceptions of my post I realise how much more reliable diesels are as well with that much hp, and Im aware of the high torque as well, and how easy it is to extract that power. I hold to my statement however that diesel engines do not pull the same energy out of diesel as a gas engine does with gas.

Except the big thing isn't horsepower when it comes to diesels. It's torque, and you can get so much more torque from a diesel engine than you can a regular gasoline engine.

ok first of all that enigne runs at 15 PSI.. But don't let that fool you, boost is relative to airflow. the more air you flow, the less boost you have to run. 15 PSI on that engine is comparable to like 140 PSI on my turbo Buick. Deisels are efficent as hell.... It makes all the power under 3k RPM... Did anyone see that CAT has a diesel enigne in the LaMans races? Same power outputs, WAY better fuel econmy Moppie, I was not doing repair work to it, I work at Caterpillers Proving Grounds in Peoria IL, I was doing some machine updates that unforunatly are confidential ( I know it sounds corny but hey, it's my job)

Re: You think you have a big engine???
Actually diesel here is more than premium. I got one car drinking premium and one sipping diesel. My mercedes is pretty much unsafe to drive on the highway. It had NO merging power at all. Not to mention it feels like ass going 60mph. But oh well. It's got 230,000 miles on it and still starts up everytime. Minus conking out on cold starts. But that's another story.
