2JZ powered Boeing 747-400

The engines on a 747 are turbines, and a completely different design! Unless you wanted to ditch the tried and tested turbine method and try propellers!? ;) I suspect there may be an issue of it getting off the ground! :D

 

The 2JZ engine could be used to power the toilet or something? It'd be so powerful you might actually get sucked it!

I work at an airport and we operate the ground power units for an A300 type airbus (the bigger one) The ground power unit uses a 12/13litre turbo engine to run a generator and that is just to power the auxillary functions while the aircraft is on stand.

The push back tug that reverses the plane out also uses the same engine and when the aircraft starts its engines up on the way out the tug can sometimes struggle push against them. This is when the jet engines are only at idle too.

 

So yeah 44 2JZ's sound like even they would struggle to lift the plane.

What if they had an xspower turbo kit on them?

Silly question but isn't it the wings that provide the lift but the engines that provide the speed? Surely if you get to take off speed then you're going up?

 

A Rolls Royce Merlin is around 1000hp, a 2JZ will easily hold this for a dyno run or a 7 mile WOT run at Bonniville but would it hold together at 70% of maximum power for 1000 hours?

 

Keeping the oil, water and charge temperatures at their correct levels would also be a challenge.
