Here I have an injector from a 710ci two stroke cylinder and there is 16 cylinders on this particular engine. That's 11,360ci per engine to produce 4000hp

it may be big but i recognize a detroit injector any where lol..........and the oil.
 
big detroit lol. i assume it has a blower and ported cylinders........four exhuast valves no intakes.

i have to do a 3-53 soon......its always acted funny, might have to bug you a little bit lol.

All the older GM engines are blown with one blower per eight cylinders, but this one is a turbo engine. Both are like you said, intake ports that go all the way around the cylinder and four exhaust valves. Here is what a turbo engine looks like. The turbo is clutch driven off the flywheel to about 600 RPM otherwise they would smoke more than a steam engine til they got wound up.

If the turbo is clutch driven, wouldn't that make it a centrifugal supercharger?
 
What does that mean?
Since Lennon and Harrison are both dead... I have no clue o_O
"Yoko" is generic for any wife/GF who "breaks up the band." I used to moonlight playing guitar for cover bands and doing occasional session work, but the wife put the kibosh on that in late 2012

Kind of, but exhaust is still coming through it and after 600 RPM the clutch disengages through 1k RPM. A blower is always gear driven. Here is a blown engine.
