MAN V12s

[boltman]

Guys , hello... I was just being a power head hoping for V12s hahaha @1850 RPMs my fuel burn varies between 18-20gph . I can actually dial it in... To around 17.5 GPH remember Gents I have German made Engines so my fuel burn is in liters, so I must do a conversion 1 liter=.2642 gallons. I watch my fuel burn closely and I very seldom run those twins above 2100RPMs there's just no need.The 900s would be a great engine to run in my boat , love to cruise at a lower RPM but a little quicker in speed. I do love the way my boat takes off, 1300RPMs and you swear there's a jet engine down there the turbos spool up and I'm gone.....Are the 900s enough for a 580DB , I don't know....

So u actually do burn a bit less then the qsm 11 yet still go a little faster. . Interesting. .

What a coincidence that this thread popped up, they just completed the first of my 2 new installs for the winter.
And are shipping them here so I can have the fastest 500 DB on the Island!!!!! Here's the first one heading to the shipyard.

THAT wonderful sound is one I can relate to. My turbo's really start to spool up around 1350 and by 1500 they've already launched and we're gaining altitude. Err, I mean we're coming up on plane.

Nope, I burn 18-20 @ 1850 also.

What in the world could that possibly be for?

That's one of the starter motors for my next boat!

And it probably runs at 900 RPMs or lower.

Another marine application in the 700-900 foot range. Engine room pics of large slow turning diesels don't do the engines justice as they are 3-4 decks high!!

Remove one of those zeros. If that thing spun at 900, it would take out a city!
