Ah, it's a turbo-compound diesel engine, and a two-stroke at that... Napier Nomad II lives!!!Though this example is a bit interesting, the compressor for the turbocharger is not connected to the crankshaft through the gearing. Separate power turbine to drive the crankshaft.Also, uniflow scavenged, like a Detroit Diesel. Intake ports in the cylinder, exhaust valves in the head. Oddly for a diesel, this would be a slightly over-square design, which reduces total torque and increases RPM. Has an aftercooler between the turbo and the cylinders to reduce intake charge temperature.What the... 2.2 liter V6 with the turbomachinery between the cylinder banks, and it's making 1000hp?!? Yes, it's spinning at 6100rpm, but holy crap!!! Also, 120deg Vee angle, like the Ferrari 296 engine. Only 432lbs, too.Want. Want bad!
