One for the screamer buffs

Bit off topic, but an interesting engine, all part of the same family.

Impressive figures quoted there! Would think that even cutting max RPM to around the 2000 mark, still be heaps of grunt.

As for the 6-110, there were a few tested by PIE in the US, and as can be seen from the scan below (via John Frances) they had taller bonnets to accommodate the larger engines. There's also a rumor of one exported to Israel but I have not been able to substantiate it. The problem with the 6-110 was that it had a mechanically-driven centrifugal supercharger rather than a turb0. The supercharger was shaft-driven and apparently if you accelerated suddenly they could snap; no big deal on a generator or a boat but under road conditions, well... Later they fitted a turbo on them and the problem was solved, but by then there were the 8V-71 and 12V-71 which were more compact and covered the power range, so they eventually stopped making the 110.
