On the Coast Guard Cutter I was stationed on we had 2 main diesel engines. V8s with 750 cubic inches per cylinder. The engines were only rated at 750 HP at 750 RPM but they made around 10,000 ft. lbs of torque! We normally ran them at 500 to 600 rpms.Both mains had a blower the size of a 4 clinder 1ZZ and also had a huge turbo also. The engines were 2 cycle and actually wouldn't run with out the forced induction.Those turbos you showed I have no idea what they would go on.
They'd go on my dream engine! That would be nice except I think they might hurt the power to weight ratio a bit. I think you could take a pic of someone standing up inside the wastegate and waving hi to mom. My God, thats a Huge turbo!

I could maybe strap one to the roof of my Vibe, I would have to reroute a few things but I think it could be done. LOL
A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.
Do you think I would have to switch to lower compression pistons if I used these on my 2zz engine?
