Got my info from some Japanese forum, but I recon it helped getting the wiki page with better info?

Not sure

I googled 'worlds largest engines' and it got me to this page:
http://qualityjunkyard.com/2009/05/27/worlds-biggest-engine-the-wartsila-sulzer-rta96-c/

which then led me to the wiki page,it looks roughly the same size as the one Eugene posted.

I'm not sure on this but this might be the ship it goes into then:
