[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1681920, member: 110162"] Yes sir, that's exactly what I was saying. The fact that a diesel engine can even injest 100lbs of boost is crazy. Thats why a 6.0 diesel engine weighs TWICE what a gas 6.0 does. Mr diesel, Gale Banks himself, was working on a rotating assembly to cut some weight off the diesel rotating assembly to make it possible to spin the diesel up to gas engine rpms. I dont keep up with the diesel world as much as the high combustables, so I dont know how far he took it . He was trying to get closer to one to one , tq to hp, like a gas burner . You know a diesel is closer to 2 to 1, tq to hp. I think he was pushing diesel as a racing fuel alternative for the mainstream racing industry and not so much a beast of burden, extremely heavy physical weight engine. His idea takes away the massive tq advantage huge boost give the platform, but makes it possible to stick a v8 oil burner in a car that's designed to road race or even a traditional gas platform muscle car without having to build a frame and suspension system to carry a 900+ lbs engine and a 300 lbs trans that's capable of holding the tq. On a different note, have you looked at turbo gas burners in drag racing lately ? Some people are getting up there in boost . There is a guy on another site I go to sometimes that holds the GM LS platform 1/8th mile record . He claims to be pushing close to 60lbs of boost ! Well over 3000hp ! That's from about 400 cubic inches. Diesel , alcohol, or gas, turbos RULE everywhere except the top fuel world with nitromethane . [/QUOTE]
