Pro Wrench Posted April 2, 2013 Share 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 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I thought that came out of the new "smart car", or was it from the "Tata"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted April 2, 2013 Share 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.

mr moto Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thats wild. I wonder if it runs or they did it for a picture...? The picture looks like it was taken at a salvage yard. That might offer a clue! I think they were spicing up another dull day at the junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thats wild. I wonder if it runs or they did it for a picture...? They sat the engine on top of the cars hood. You can see the transmission going through the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I wish I had a picture still.. some one tried to take 8 Caterpillar turbos and plum 1 per cylinder and 1 carburetor per turbo... it was a hideous mess.. I don't think it ever ran LOL. I think Hot Rod Magazine ran a story on that and got blasted for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
