worlds largest 2stroke

I finally got on this thread I:I

Damn thats a big engine! and only uses 27gal per minute :p Thats close to what we run through our blasters a season lol
 
I have the same question :-/

Majority of the larger diesels are in fact Detroit 2-strokes and 98% of the older larger truck engines were Detroit 2-strokes too. Do some research on 2-strokes.

Here's something I want you to ponder over:

Detroit diesel 2-stroke has no reeds, BUT HAS A CAM. But no intake valve. It's got transfer ports (that's those things that are in the side of the cylinder) but it doesn't rely on positive crank case pressure an an expansion chamber (pipe; that bendy shiny(or rusty) thing on the front of your bike coming out the motor) to draw the fuel/air mixture into the combustion chamber (where the spark plug is).

Do some homework and research kiddies!! Cause I want answers from you! POP QUIZ TOMORROW!!
 
That's massive! Who put a Detriot Diesel on steroids?! :D

Another fact Chuckie didn't mention about 2-stroke diesels is that they will not run without some method of forced induction. In other words, Detriot diesels had to be fitted with a supercharger right from the factory. Then, if the application required more power, a turbo was added to boost output. Many Detroit Diesels were turbo-supercharged, and had the exhaust note to prove it.

I hope this massive ship engine has some failsafes in place. Smaller 2-stroke diesels were known to run away and could only be stopped by shutting off the air supply or waiting for it to seize. I sure wouldn't want to be onboard if one of these monsters took off outta control!

This may help the studies.

the spark plug of that motor.hahaha:D



Haaahaaa probably is about that big... That's a good question how big is the spark plug it if it even really uses a spark plug.. And one more reason to own a two stroke we got the biggest in our family.. THE TWO STROKE FAMILY!!!I:I
Goes to show two strokes are waaay more efficient.. I'm not a 4 stroke hater but 2s do so much more with so much less.. ohh and the exhaust incase you didn't see it was 6 greyhound busses hollowed out with some fmf banners glued to the side..(right bend of course)I:I
 
Diesels rely on heat produced by high compression to fire the injected fuel charge, therefore require no spark plug.

Some diesels are fitted with a glow plug to assist starting when cold.

^^^ haha right bend of course I:I
 
Yes your right diesels do use glow plugs and high compression. Also diesel likes to gel so i have to plug in my plow truck and backhoe on cold winter nights, I'm glad that's over for a while..:)... that link you posted blaaster , i can't seem to open it. Please re post if you can.. we always like a good reading.. we need a test or even a contest,,,,is been a while since last one...
