In your face, NISSAN!

As I understand it, in-line engines is best for torque which is why they still use in-line on semi trucks while v puts more more power but not as much torque as in-line does.

depends how long the stroke and bore is. The long stroke inline engines get lot of torque than short stroke inline engines.

Drive fault who upgrade the software for 70hp more and turbocharger's PSI was too high for engine.

Dr. `WTF' or how I learned to question the sanity of the GT-R engineers. *Video Added* - NAGTROC - The Nissan GT-R Owners Club

Few of my friends who upgrade the turbochargers and they always replace the bigger intercooler and no problem for over 50k mileage so far. I can't image why some people use big turbochargers for tiny intercooler, it is very bad idea.

I viewed the post#1, sound like the guy is a low level mechanic cuz he complained about the IAT sensor (intake air temp) got hot reading. I ve been seen IAT sensors in the vehicles's readings were over 150 degree F when the ambient tempurature was about 90 degree F, the reason for IAT in the MAF sensor is mounted somewhere inside the engine compartment, get heat wave from the radiator or exhaust manifold to create the IAT increase tempurature reading. He did something idiot on the dyno when the engine was given away.

Yeah, hard to break a block in half unless u're putting 2000 hp in the motor, lol. It probably threw a rod.

In my years of engine rebuilding, I've been seen the holed blocks on the pallets that were tossed by the machinists. Most holed blocks were con rod(s) relates.

It's true. I don't see any V engines for semi-truck that I know so far.

Few do have V8 engines. The smaller semi trucks usually have that.

V6-8-12-16-24 diesel engines are still be found on the trucks,heavy equipment machinery or marines. Newer fuel cleaner V8 engines are used on modern vehicles such as Hummers or Dodge/Chevy trucks. Have you heard about 2 stroke diesel Detroit engines? I think the Detroit V16 block use 2 piece V8 blocks to assembled together. The In-line 6 diesel engines are vast popluar. I dont know if the train locomotives use big engines like V16 or V24? :dunno:

Locomotives usually have V12 to V16 engines mostly. They're HUGE, the pistons are bigger than your big fat ol head. :laugh2:

:rofl: yes they're huge. I've worked on Komastu Landscaping bulldozer 3 Cylinder Locomotive engine before. Remove its 300lbs oilpan and saw the size of pistons inside under it. Yes it's bigger than your fat head like above mentioned.

Catty
 
I should add that the Dodge Ram Cummins turbodiesel I-6's are reaally more stronger than even the DuraMax or the Ford P-Stroke. These Cummin Rams can take more than 1,000 hp and still be that tough.

the I-6 has proven its mettle with the Nissan Skyline (for gas) and the Dodge Ram (for diesel). My daddy used to warn me when I was driving his Ford F250 with the 300 I-6 not to start at 1st gear. I now understood why it was cause of the HUGE torque.

However, that lesson from my daddy got me into driving inline 4's no matter the horspeower it genetates. My ZX2 Escort's I-4 really held up well and still got much torque at 159k miles.

BMW's still building I-6's, this time, adding turbos to em!

Yeah, I'm not surprised about all that. :) Cummins diesels rocks!
