The site was down for a couple hours today as the hosting company that hosts this site, and many others, suffered from a power surge. They were able to get everything back up to get sigma-galant.com running again. From what I can see, the site is back up and running 100% now.
Here is something else of interest, the host company's 4MW power generator.

Thats a Detroit Diesel V16- 149, 2200hp, each cylinder makes 140hp and is about 2400 cc's, making it a 38.4lt engine. They run two blocks, two crankshafts bolted together, two blowers, and four turbos. That big square box on top is the inter-cooler, the exhaust is on the inside, other way around from a usual V engine.
Just some useless trivia from my time working for MTUDDA

Pretty sure superscan811 has the same info locked in his brain, lol. We both worked there at the same time but never crossed paths until S-G after he had left MTUDDA, lol

I know what you mean about superscan811 the technical adviser his head has more in it than a NASA harddrive.

Gee, that was interesting. So now you've told everyone about the big motor, mind telling us why we needed to know what their back up generator looks like?

I have no idea about that myself to be honest geezer, I would strongly doubt this is their actual generator.

It is a huge engine, thought it would be interesting to share.
