    On the current C18's you can get a compound setup, a big fixed turbo feeding a small asymmetrical twin-scroll turbo. But the problem is that the cylinders that get the small scroll are the donor cylinders for EGR.

    I'm not sure how exactly Cat's asymmetrical turbo works, as I'd have to see it for myself to fully understand. But I'm sure someone will figure out how a successful EGR delete could be done.

    The 504 cast engine from a JI Case farm tractor in front of an 18 sp transmission. I always though those old Case diesel sounded awesome. And would ‘roll coal’ with the best of them.

    Something like this, but it only weighs 800 lbs, makes 3000 ft Lbs of tq, 1000 hp, and gets 15 mpg even under terrible circumstances. It also needs oil changes just once a year, and will run 10 million miles minimum without any other maintenance.

    You won't go to 3, no one really supports it. You will go to 4. But need to change cam, and cam gear.
