The engine sounds interesting for a diesel
"While the production engine requires a boost pressure of 1bar, the two engines installed in the JCB DIESELMAX require 5.2bar absolute at full power. The scale of this challenge can be appreciated in comparison with around 3 bar absolute for a diesel Le Mans racer, and around 4 bar for the turbo-era Formula One cars.
The results of the JCB DIESELMAX engine development work are truly impressive and the headline figures speak for themselves: with each delivering peak power of 750hp and torque of 1500Nm, the engines are over five times the power of the production version and at 150hp/litre, they exceed even motorsports applications as the world’s highest specific power diesel car engines."
