page 6, the sort of "half turbo" looking thing is the turbo compound unit. It directly attaches to the rear gear train. |
Thanks for the post
I was wondering when engine manufacturer's would get around to capturing that last bit of power from the power plant.
The B-50C/D model bombers had compound engines fifty years ago. :D |
When I took the engine cover off the inside of my truck,..there was a prototype of this system. 3 rat skeletons on the back of my engine,....guess it didn't work out too well for them :shock:

I love how whenever a company is touting fuel savings they use the phrase "up to". Somehow, I doubt that the average user ever gets his savings "up to" that level.

A Detroit that'll pull at 1100 RPM? Boggles the mind.
