The 5.5" bore engines have a capacity of almost exactly 14 litres, so I was wrong earlier. I thought the NTK was a turbo’d NH220. They share cyclinder dimensions with the NTC, at any rate. There is an NTK252 High Torque engine, which seems to be in direct competition with the NTC225 Custom Torque engine mentioned recently, somewhere.
According to the article, they are right hand drive-specific engines, so Robert’s asserion about them being GB engines is more or less correct. Maybe they were also aimed at SA and OZ installations? Whatever- the first application for the new engines seems to have been the left hand drive 3MW ERF, which is totally illogical
Notwithstanding their RHD specificness, that 310-powered unit in the piece further up the page is a LHD one! Robert
