wow...that'd be great. You could use just one Piston. Then when some ricer walks up, "hey dude, how many cylinders that thing got" You could say 1! And of course the follow up, "haha, yeah, what the horse power on that, 5hp?" And your answer, "7780hp, wanna race?" Mooohahahaaaaa! :D

What do they use to turn that thing over with? I saw the show when they showed that moster motor but they never said how the hell they turned it over to start it. I am guessing its not a pull start.

These engines are turbocharged 2 stroke diesel engines and turbos don't move when the engine doesn't run. So they need to use auxiliary blowers to start the engines which are probably also used to move the pistons as well. (2 stroke diesel engines require blowers to scavenge the combustion chamber).
The turbo's probably wouldn't even fit on a pick up truck:

Btw Sulzer is a Swiss company (just because Gigolo Jason thinks Switzerland just makes cutlery and cheese). :p

that engine has one thing that the renesis does not have
more than 160 lb/ft of torque
then again.............that engine lacks one thing the renesis does have
9000 redline!
can you imagine those pistons trying to move at 9000 rpms?
