Do you guys have Detriot Diesel DD15 or Daimler engines in Oz?
 Darren might adapt the DD15 turbo compound system to  that 600 HP 3
 rotor for lower fuel burn. If Darren does it I will visit.

 Here is a guy in Perth that almost did it but the supercharger
 exploded around 1400 HP before he got it installed. He was going to
 adapt a CW R-3350 TC blow down turbine.

 Paul,
 I am still looking into the mounting dimensions. My contact has left
 Detroit and has not called back. May be on holidays. Tripped over
 this video and thought it answers part of the old engine question.
 How is the RV4 coming along?

 Dale Davies

 Thanks for that link Dale. I can scale what I need off these screen shots.
 I have the engine length numbers.
 What is the typical flywheel diameter for truck engines this size?

 I am working on adapting megasquirt to the rotary in the RV4.

 I believe that the Class 8 trucks use a SAE size 1 flywheel housing and a SAE
14 flywheel. The second link shows dimensions.

 I will continue to see if I can get the engineering drawings or find time to
go measure one. If it keeps raining that may not be a problem as we can not
get into many well sites west of Drayton Valley, Alberta. Area is muskeg which
is like a swamp, but you do not see the water as much. There is a layer of
plant life growing on top. You might be able to walk in some areas but might
get your ankles wet in others.
 I hope the links are informative.
