1 hp = 746 watts. 150 kw = 201 hp You would have to be able to get at least 201 hp @ 1800 rpm. Typ gen sets use a helluva lot more hp than the above calcs depict... typ double.

If you are talking about electric motors, a 1 hp electric motor will suck a lot more than 746 watts. That 746 w per hp is only if the 1 hp electric motor was 100%..and they are not, more like 65% eff.
746 / .65 = 1148 watts.

I have yet to see any generator that didn't spin at 1800 rpm. None had any tranny or gear box used. All were direct drive..with just a pair of U joints.

I have some old GE , V-16 Turbodiesel locomotive generators that spin at only 900 RPM. 2 MW / 2.5 MVA.

They are some of my largest. We do paralleling for increasing capacity and redundancy.

What applications are your various generators being used for ?

Hopefully they can help with this one, & I don’t have to run a stand alone in the ST too

This is interesting. How many tankers full of fuel do yall go through in a day? Or do you have the refinery on tap?

They run other ridiculously big engines to “pump” the fuel from various parts of the country similar to the utility power grid but instead of electricity it’s gaseous fuel (what ever house uses almost everywhere )

800 dollars for a tune with no device is the going rate these days? I got a bargain!

IIRC Lund and AED charge about 70% of that and that's without the cost of the tuner.

But is that even a real request? Who puts 335s on a Focus and what kind of PCM code is that?

Why does S&H cost $23.00? My head hurts.

He did ask for an expedited order.

VMP won’t tune it. They really don’t like trying anything that opens them up to any sort of liability I guess.

New stuff for the build bought!!!

The focus is front wheel drive. I can't fathom 335's on the front of a focus. It's a joke, right?

It has to be. We're all getting trolled here.

It's a lot of work, not sure what the payoff will be. Maybe this entire thread is mirrored over on an LS forum and they just laugh at the replies all day.

Well there not on it, but the bolt pattern looks the same as the Roush and I got spacers.... so I was going to give it a go.....

Focus? I thought this thread was about a Mustang?

This thread hasn't been about anything for a while now, sort of this weird place we come to just to throw words at the internet

Look at post #105. 2014 focus ST...with 335's on it !

Post #105 you mean.
