Pro Wrench Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 When I was working in the oil and gas drilling fields in Wyoming they would use big huge quad turbo diesel engines similar to that to operate the pump used for hydrofracing the gas wells.
Sixx Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I thought that came out of the new "smart car", or was it from the "Tata"?
blunc Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 um, needs 2 centrifugal compressors ..no wait...4 compressors feeding 2 blowers but the centrifugal compressors are fed by turbos and then we put stage 3 laughing gas direct injected to each intake runner and a couple JATO units in case none of the above get it to move.

Greg Myers Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yes. Old hot rod adage: " If some is good, more is better, and too much is just right."

I don't think it ever ran LOL. I think Hot Rod Magazine ran a story on that and got blasted for it.
