Saurer engine

[@srussert28]

I remember hooking up all of the portable lights on a 60K generator in the Marines. Since I was the first to put it under a full load chunks of build up were spewing out of the exhaust. 60,000 watts in an area smaller than a baseball diamond all pointed straight up. I was in a bowl just after sunset and it lit up everything. The marine layer was in and the glow in the sky was amazing. Siiiiigh

[@freshfruit23]

good idea standing in the way of the exhausts

[@DeMobBoss]

Man that sounds awesome - boy would I love to have a runnin' one of those in my back yard one day...

[@Jean793]

this engine is mainly used for tanks...a locomotive engine,or a generator is 3 to 6 time larger...as said stakeee.

[@SakoTGrimes]

Actually, they were standard equipment in Fiat Pandas and Subaru Brumbys.

[@MrShawn305]

I agree completely, the technology today allows us to get more power out of smaller engines while using less fuel. But I still love those old mechanical diesels. They are unstoppable lol. We had an old Detroit 3-71 that had a major failure, the whole engine was toast. They couldnt shut it down because it started to run off of its own oil. They let it blow because it was in a runaway condition. Awesome stuff! lol

[@michaelovitch]

where ? on the trailer ? lol

[@AnarchyEngineer]

This is the Chuck Norris of engines. Loud, powerful and totally amazing!

[@rickster348]

yea, but what's it get on the highway??

[@MrShawn305]

@mohamadalikazi- Not in the least. Were you saying a 3 liter engine with 600hp should be used in an industrial application? Im sure you were not. My point was simply that while you can achieve significant power from a much smaller engine, they are for two totally different applications. That engine can sustain a 100% duty cycle @ full output for a LONG time with only routine maintenance.

[@Aikay373]

where can u fit that

[@ITMANWOMAN]

you should put a monster idle on that janx

[@kona181]

No, a locomotive engine is much much larger than this, this is just a generator.

[@berseker46]

dammmm how much HP???

[@D375]

What is cooling this engine??

[@suprakilzz26]

what is it made to run?

[@hannub]

I was there and in original, the sound was more impressive:-) Too bad that a company with a history like Saurer disappeared from the market:-(

[@Docthewrench]

nope what is it?

[@gdobos76]

nice idling sound

[@MrStreck]

its not a train engine if what kind of train im talkin about but it might be a small train engine or boat

[@douro20]

Marine engine, isn't it?

[@SpeakerPolice]

I believe it is a marine diesel generator. :)

[@pigpenpete]

I think you could fit a peel P50 inside the cylinders of this thing ;)

[@n2osrt4]

I've never heard of that engine but it's spelled just like my last name where are they from?

[@DatBlueHusky]

the legends say that it can power the world.....

[@ciusix1993]

why not?

[@MrMedderzEa]

yup, were i did my work experience they had 2 twin turbo V16 diesels from submarines rated at 4000HP each just deppends wt you want from an engine tht saurer engine could be used for anything u wanted it for

[@Aydosh1991]

Unless I am missing the point what is special about this, it is a Diesel engine and generator. If it was running on chip fat, water or some other fuel then it might be interesting.

[@Sugarkryptonite]

A generator with twin turbos and 2500hp? Are you sure?

[@jazziefirst]

all I can hear is coctail of torque & power!

[@NSAaron]

look up EMD 645 or EMD 710 and you will find some big damn locomotive engines

[@jayeastanglia]

still sounds nice..

[@tpvalley]

600 or 2500.

[@fuzzballfury3022]

on a moped maybe?

[@berseker46]

dam now that is a motor nice nice

[@terryeffinp]

Hah in my vocational school we have a detroit 8-92 and that thing ran away one day and rattled the engine stand all the way to the back corner of the shop!! It takes like 3 people in case it runs away to cut fuel lines and to hook up the air shut off!

[@TheCottonTop]

Yeah no turbo. They could make the same power with half the cylinder if it was turbocharged.

[@douro20]

Sadly, Saurer no longer makes engines. Nope, no Swiss diesels anymore.

[@adamao1980]

looks like a MWM engine, made in germany. Serien 2020

[@kikkilinu]

lol, its relatively the same size XD

[@deets155]

if you honestly think that engine would fit in any muscle car.. go give your head a shake right now!

[@playdude18]

thats a tiny engine ive seen ship diesel engines with 3000 hps per cylinders

[@blackknight3830]

i think it was made to keep the planet moving :D :D

[@NSAaron]

just making sure ;-)

[@ednutcracker]

cool all i need is a go kart to swap this engine into..

[@CSXT8250]

it sounds like a g.e./alco locomotive engine, also sounds like a washing machine thats outa balance.

[@ForgeSpace]

as im sure the power of the internets lets you figure out where i live.

[@BMW330ccd]

saurer is from switzerland!!

[@jayeastanglia]

so was mine..:-)

[@ziggassedup]

it just needs a little turbo help ..lol.

[@toroa]

This engine is NOT 2500 Hp. Not even close. If you could gain 300% more power from 2 turbos, every engine would have two turbos. So whoever told you that, is pulling your leg, big time.

[@CreRay]

Not commenting on this engine here, but in general: Very efficient non-turbo diesel engine: ~70Nm/liter Powerful twin turbo current day diesel engine: ~230-245Nm/liter ..so a ~250% gain IS possible, and even more. However, as the engine must be able to take the added power (bearings, pistons, head etc), it's not just a matter of adding turbo's!

[@zacheryandersen]

@church400c even if you put this in there it would still be a ford.

[@JuanPapaNicolao]

Damn Yall done stole the engine out of Paul Bunyan's G ride Ooooo that fool gon be mad LOL Its a behemoth

[@jshorts101]

I want to put that in my Girlfriends Mazda Miata! it should bolt right in.......

[@my1little2pony]

its diesel diesel is pretty much oil in itself lol

[@MrShawn305]

Put the mitsu and this engine on dynos and run them at 100% load. See which one fails first!

[@ketd9]

saurer power

[@Grushnerd]

put 10 turbines into it, and it will fly :D

[@ciusix1993]

in peel p50 :D

[@jayeastanglia]

why put this engine in a crap car??

[@MrStreck]

lol me to

[@ThatsTooSmall]

let's put that in a pinto.

[@nordemoniac]

Highly deadly carbongas...

[@pyromaniac1207]

polution rules! XD

[@axelsandi]

this IS a vehicle.. hehe

[@ForgeSpace]

lol? a threat on the internet? ohh noes! I love how people think that just because i point out that diesel is carcinogenic i get neg ratings on my post.

[@ForgeSpace]

mmmm diesel fumes, i love cancer!
