Came across this looking at land speed cars… It’s Joint Venture’s Freightliner… ![http://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/8326952/0612dp_06_z+2006_bonneville_salt_flats+joint_venture_freightliner.jpg](http://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/8326952/0612dp_06_z+2006_bonneville_salt_flats+joint_venture_freightliner.jpg) Detroit Diesel 16V92TA 1,472ci two stroke V-16 engine Two superchargers Four turbochargers triple digit boost readings ![http://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/8326958/0612dp_07_z+2006_bonneville_salt_flats+v16_diesel_motor.jpg](http://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/8326958/0612dp_07_z+2006_bonneville_salt_flats+v16_diesel_motor.jpg) Generating somewhere around 4500 hp and enough power to push this near 20,000 lb brick to 231 mph (!?!?!) Quick lookup showed the 16V92TA is an industrial machine… [http://www.dslspec.com/diesel\_engine\_product\_specials.asp?VendID=DET&ProdID=49](http://www.dslspec.com/diesel_engine_product_specials.asp?VendID=DET&ProdID=49) I guess it’s modified to have one turbo per head and also drive two blowers… :rockon Source: [http://www.dieselpowermag.com](http://www.dieselpowermag.com) ---

They don’t generate suction like a normal engine because those DDs are 2 stroke. I’d love to hear that thing rip! All DDs from 12v + came with at least 2 blowers. 8v and below only had one. You’re 100% right on the marine / industrial. I can’t find a single example of a 16v being put in a truck from the factory, a few did come with the 12v’s though! They were generally 12v71s though and usually not the good, newer silver series. I could go on for days. 🙂 DO WANT. ---
