Most Powerful Diesel Engine for SUV and Pickup Truck

[horexen]

Guys,

What do you think is the most powerful diesel engine for SUV and pickup in terms of torque?

The current record holder as of 2005 is the 6.6li Duramax Turbo Charge Diesel engine. It has 640 pound feet of torque which is equivalent to 870.4 nm. To illustrate, Isuzu Trooper's 4JX1-TC (3.0li TDI) engine has 333.54 n.m, Toyota Fortuner's 1KD-FTV (3.0li D4D) engine has 343 n.m of torque.

Duramax is a product of Isuzu/GMC collaboration irght?

nice

Yes Sir, Duramax is made by Isuzu for GMC.

That has to make Isuzu earn the respect of America's seasoned truckers. GMC needed Isuzu's help just to go up against Ford's Powerstroke and Dodge's Cummins. It seems that that trucks are the next line of vehicles to be dominated by the Japanese.

Sir BenchPh1, that was an interesting article about the Touareg. It is worth sharing with our friends here at Tsikot. Guys, here is the site: http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2100/article.html It may not be the most powerful but nevertheless interesting to post it here. Thanks a lot Sir BenchPh1 for pointing that out.

gaano kaya kabigat yan compared sa engine ng trooper at toyota?

Last thing I heard about GMC diesels is that they consume fuel almost as lustily as their gasoline counterparts.

hmm yung sa hummer na diesel ata malakas rin ! so i think its posible na kasama to sa isa sa malakas na diesel engines yung hummer h1 pala sinasabi ko

[Engr]

damn, it's on the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha!

H1 Alpha's Duramax slugs out 300 hp and a massive 520 pound-feet of peak torque at 1,500 rpm.

ang lakas nito! pero bakit hindi match yung torque niya sa pinots ni horexen?

Guys, it seem that the writer at Popular Science may have made a mistake or the Isuzu site is not up to date. I have look at the Isuzu site here's the specification of Duramax: http://www.isuzu.co.jp/world/product...ive/index.html It is 300ps maximum power output and 705 n.m maximum torque. Nevertheless, it is still the most powerful V8 diesel engine so far.

VW Touareg 5.0L V10 TDI
310 hp / 750Nm torque

+ Power Step Chip Upgrade
352 hp / 855Nm torque

to think that the Duramax has a larger displacement (+ 1,599cc) than the VW engine.

Sir, thanks a lot for providing that data. I think it is the same one posted on reply #6. Anyway, overall this is the most powerful SUV engine to date. For V8 diesel engine, Duramax is still the most powerful.
