rofl at the procharger comment on a diesel!

 

You must not know much. But super chargers are used with turbos more than you think. One of the fastest "street" diesels I've seen ran a procharger to a turbo. It takes up while the turbo builds up and it was also on a 6.0.

I can't remember who built the Pikes Peak diesel truck but it runs a big roots style supercharger IIRC, along with a single turbo. Not uncommon to use a supercharger in a compound setup.

Most the turbo guys I know are running single 90-110mm or like twin 80-90s in their cars.

Damn, You must run around with the big dogs. I know a few guys running that size turbos but almost none are street cars. :)
Texas has real street cars. Tags, insurance, DEQ legal. Actually drive to the track or a street race. Not trailer jockies Ect.

Street outlaws show is a staged joke. Trailer your big slick car to a street race? Lmao.

turbo supercharged diesels have been around a couple of years.

Yay for Detroit Diesel. IIRC the supercharger was used mostly to air in intake/exhaust since it was a 2-stroke engine.

Very close, it's for a Clark TLA-8 Integral engine/compressor for natural gas compression on the natural gas transmission pipeline that I work for. They're rated for 2700hp, have a 17" bore and 19" of stroke which puts them right around 35,000 cu. in. of displacement.  They're also a 2 stroke engine and run on the natural gas from the pipeline.  An integral engine like these is referred to as such due to the fact the compressor connecting rods are integrated with the power piston connecting rods.  They share journals on the same crank shaft.

No videos, but I do have a few pictures of several of the different engines we have on the pipeline.

I used to work for a GE contractor and we built large distribution, switchgear, MCCs, etc. . .   I got to see a lot of that stuff and it never ceases to amaze me at the engineering feats.

well i got her on!!!! i had a small delay yesterday when i installed her... when i out the turbo on the first time, i must have grabbed the oil return line that comes off the turbo and pulled it out of the high pressure oil pump (HPOP) so when i cranked her over, there was 2 gallons of oil on the floor in a matter of seconds... so today after work, i took the turbo BACK off and got the oil return line situated. heres a video from last night 

 

Pics:  new turbo on right, old on left!! f**k yeah
