that's good. dang impressive actually!

BUT, what Archie is wanting to accomplish with this same platform is 4x that much HP.

I'm curious how low of TQ archie thinks he can get it down to while burning normal #2 diesel. I understand that's the need/desire to spin it to the moon but actually getting it to and survive is gonna be interesting to see unfold.


So far we're talking about welding up a block. Is this like 3D printing a block with a welder? I laugh but seriously, is that the gist of it?

What about the crank? rods? pistons? valve train? What diesel fuel injection system can handle 10K RPMs? Anything out there anywhere currently doing that?
