  • They did build diesels( panzer maus ) : Daimler-Benz MB 517 V12 diesel engine

  • This is either not a Diesel, or not from a German tank from WWII. It's that simple.

  • Its a train engine ... never a tiger

  • hmmm but it looks like a tiger engine?

  • non e un semplice motore... e un mostro da 12cilindri... un motore derivazione aereo-navali delle truppe tedesche. e un motore tedesco 12cilindri ,3000giri/min 600cv e 520kw in poche parole un 2000cc per cilindro fate voi un po i conti... 2000cc x 12cilindri :. semplicemente una bestia... mi pare che li montavano sti motori i panzer...

  • This mysterious motor become so interesting to solve, that I have used lots of time today searching for data. It clearly is a swirl chamber diesel engine that really resembles none of motors this kind that I know from germany, brits or US. Russia or china could be likely. Russian ATS-59 has diesel V12 with some resemblings, but still none of those exhaust between cylinder banks. Jaguar???

  • Bitte nicht schon wieder es gab keinen Tiger mit Diesel antrieb schau mal bitte auf das Herstellungsdatum bei 1:18 da Steht 1948 also nach dem II.WW (WK) Was danach war weiß ich nicht aber während gab es keine Dieselmaschinen in Detschen Tanks

    PzKpfw VI Ausf E Tiger I

    Typ

    schwerer Panzer

    Antrieb

    Maybach HL210P45 bzw HL230P45 V-12, wassergekühlter Benzinmotor mit 700 PS bei 3000 U/min.

  • The crankcase and block are made of cast grey iron. The cylinder heads are made from cast-iron. The engine weighs 1200 kg and its dimensions are 1000 x 1190 x 1310 mm. Aspiration is provided by four twin-choke Solex type 52JFF carburettors.Approximately 9,000 HL230s were produced in total by Maybach, Auto Union and Daimler-Benz.

  • The engine has a volume of 23,095 cm³ (approx. 1,925 cm³ per cylinder) and a maximum output of 700 PS (690 hp, 515 kW) at 3,000 rpm. Maximum torque is 1850 Nm at 2,100 rpm. Typical output was 600 PS (592 hp, 441 kW) at 2,500 rpm.

  • The Maybach HL230 is a water-cooled 60° 23 liter V12 gasoline engine . It was used during WW II in heavy German tanks: the Panther, Jagdpanther, Tiger II, Jagdtiger (HL230 P30), and later versions of the Tiger I and Sturmtiger (HL230 P45). The engine was a follow-up version of the slightly smaller HL210 that had a displacement of 21 liters and, unlike the HL230, an aluminium crankcase and block. The HL210 was used to equip the first 250 Tiger I tanks built.

  • IT IS NOT A TIGER TANK ENGINE !!!!

  • Prob from a Russian tank

  • I can't begin to imagine how huge the pistons are. Does anyone know its bore X stroke?

  • What ever it is somebody has striped the intake and exhaust system off of it those shorty exhaust pipes are something someone cobbled together as well as those intake ports if you look close from the front it has fitting for some form of water cooling. My bet is it some sort of Marine engine that has it heat exchanges and intake and exhaust manifolds removed

  • According to this site it is an Isotta Fraschini 46 liter V12. It looks like a marine or stationary engine google strupshaw_2004

  • @1Dougloid  sorry meant strumpshaw 2004

  • "Can be but this is a DIESEL So maybe Its not out of a Tiger?"

    And the second tiger engine in a tiger 2 had weird dustbin covers and is quite different.

    Its a static diesel engine or a train engine.....or the VERY rare experimental Diesel PROTOTYPE model that never left the factory. AND was never used in a an active Tiger I or II.

    HIGHLY unlikely though.

    I think it is a Diesel static engine or Train engine.

    PS: Petrol tank engines are dirty as well.:D

  • @eisenhorn1000 Quite a debate about this engine, unlikely to be out of a train as It was found in England & I assume fitted at the time to something, as I mentioned before, I wish I'd of asked more questions at the time, If I see it again I'll ask the owners more about it.

  • @eisenhorn1000 I was thinking along similar lines. I was guessing it could be a stationary industrial engine.

  • @eisenhorn1000 What yo say makes sense, on the other hand this engine sounds like one withe regulator problems. That supports your idea of an a Static engine, probably some one in the "vaterland" would like to help to make things "klar"

  • The engines for the Tiger I were developed specifically for them by the Maybach company of Berlin (Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH). The Maybach company, under the technical leadership of Karl Maybach, produced the engines for all the medium and heavy German tanks of WWII.

    The first Tiger engine was a V-12 water-cooled gasoline engine with a capacity of 21.33 liters (1302 cubic inches) and a power output of 650bhp at 3000rpm. This engine was the Maybach HL 210 TRM P45

    Petrol not Diesel......

  • @eisenhorn1000 Can be but this is a DIESEL So maybe Its not out of a Tiger?
