Any power adders or tune, does that void the warranty?

This one was a 12 cylinder coupled to a 16MW generator.

well I don't know about his, but ours are turbo'ed, seeing as how most big diesel generators are Turbo'ed.....the smaller ones are supercharged.

This is one of our other units that failed a couple years back...can't remember exactly what happened but you can see this one blew the inspection covers right off!

v6sonoma · 10-11-2010, 12:11 PM

I don't even want to be in the same building when that thing throws a rod! Good lord those are huge! lol

khislop007 · 10-11-2010, 12:11 PM

The unit unloading is our last unit we installed. The unit going in the building was the one in the first post that went into over speed.

Sir Nuke · 10-11-2010, 12:47 PM

It looks to be about the same physical size....obviously the bore on yours is bigger.
