Oh, c'mon, Paul. How different could it be from the diesel engines you work on in your ships? Just take your ship's owners manual and scale everything down about 30:1 and you should be just fine.

Door? That IS a scary big engine! Do they have the same tolerances car engines have (clearances, sizes etc)???

Okay quicky on the last engine i sailed with. 26,000Bhp max torque around 230Tons/metre weight 650 tons dry and about 3 stories high.


Back to the BMW while doing the empeg install i discover the thing doesn't have a bloody throttle cable it is fly by wire on a 1994 car but it gets 45 to the gallon and is 140 Bhp and shitloads of torque.

Did I work that out correctly? 140,000 lb-ft of torque? I bet that's a pretty substantial towing capacity...

Yeah and they still probably want to convert it to a dualie so they can tow an even bigger trailer.
