    So, for people that prefer engine size by cubic inch, the T-Series has a 648 cubic inch I6 with a turbo that runs 690 psi (47.6 bars) of boost.
    To be honest, I don't know how much horsepower this turbocharged I6 makes @ the crank and wheels.

    700 lbs of boost. You might want to check your sources again.

    Are you sure? Because I used Google's conversion thing that comes up.
    Type in "bars to psi", then put 47.6 in the bars side, and tell me what number comes up.

    I agree with him/her. That Volvo is from a completely different time than the T-Series.

    Why would I put 47.6bar into the converter when its 47.6psi in the first place. For someone that claims to be a car nut, wasn't 47bar a silly number

    As far as power goes, I'd say that the 10.6 in the T series is around 250-300 Horse and maybe 1000 Ft lbs.

    Whereas say a 3406 Cat is 14.6 with anywhere from 350-475 HP and 1250-1650 Ft lbs.

    OR

    Why not have the option for something like the KTA 600 Cummins, with 600 HP and almost 2,000 Ft lbs

    What is? The 10.6 in the truck now? If so, That's a bit on the high side of what's feasible.

    Pretty sure the T-series reaches around 400HP with the biggest turbo.

    I was just saying that there ARE V12 trucks with about 16l of displacement. Were there any V10 trucks, like with that weird super strong Ford V10?

    Also, would've been weird if that thing ran 47bar of boost, it'd have more than the normal detonation pressure before even detonating.

    The boost gauge app is broken. It's actually 47 psi of boost, mislabelled as bar. Forty pounds of boost for a diesel truck sounds about right, since 150 psi of boost is what drag race cars use, so 700 psi is waaaaaaaaay too high for an internal combustion engine.
