http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQePSdT9QEQ on the vane of triple turbo engines.. Check out this run by Marty Thacker, A man who has a triple turbo dt466 box truck engine. A 7 litre plus 6 cyl diesel turbo engine. Although instead of one turbo, he has 3. And nitrous, a big shot of it.
Altogether the rail weighs 35oo lbs I am told. Heavy engine then, but again it is made for box trucks and school buses, not dragsters. Watch how he struggles to put down the torque, off the line until the tire grows and raises his gear ratio. Even with the tires shaking he still make a run at 6 79 at 211 mph, which makes a new diesel rail record. Not bad for almost two ton dragster rail!
Oh and the black bmw Guthrie mobile is alive and well now, the engine started last nite. It is mobile, adn ready for next season..Look for it after Sandblast, or a rallycross or two. Early next season sometime!
