Spent more than 65 years around Detroits never had a reason to crack throttle except it just so much fun 😅

Jesus Christ those turbos sound amazing

That Diesel gives me nightmares....5 years, 8 months and 22 days on a Battle Frigate...SSDG stood for Same Shit Different Generator. If it’s not leaking it’s empty.

@@johncox4301 during my time I saw all 4 SSDGs overhauled a few times, quite a few times, heck even replaced them completely…block and all changed. They were so horrible the Navy finally gave up and started experimenting with just switching the ships to a Cat, and just get rid of the Detroits, then the Navy decided to abandon the FFG7 class all together….oh broken rings, all the time…bottom line there weren’t reliable.

I had the same engine on a Stewart & Stevenson back up genset at our power plant.

Those turbos!

Sou fã dos motores Detroit 2 tempos. Um dos melhores motores diesel desde que Rudolph Diesel patenteou esse tipo de motor.

looks like Gary Busey playing with his engine

LMFAOO beat me to it!!! Hey, the engine is the same, coked-up equivalent in mechanical form.

Oh man this video gives me bad ideas... I'm putting a 6v53 in a chev 1 ton right now. It's going under the hood, but could you imagine this beast on a flatbed driving to a drop box under the hood and back to the rear end!!!

I remember back in my GSE days, we had plenty of 6V71’s on our Bosserman fuel trucks and on 100 ton portable aircraft air conditioning units. On the a/c units I would throttle it up to 1700 rpm’s and then manually engage the clutch to the 16 cylinder Trane compressor; that would bog it down to 550 rpm’s before climbing back to 1700 in a few seconds. The sound could wake up the dead.

Turbo screaming like a Tupolev engine

Hej Anders! Jeg skulle vise min knægt en video af en lidt større motor, som starter med et brøl. Den eneste jeg lige kunne komme i tanke om, var en 16V149. Jeg husker tydeligt det job med udskiftning af en toppakning på sådan en maskine på Rømø i 2015. Håber alt er vel, Vh Jesper.

Will this fit in my jeep ?

Great engine! Shits all over the 4 strokes

Not to mention shutting it down right after spooling the turbo's up... and so, no oil flow to them while still spooling down. As far as not "heating it up".... Detroit powered emergency Gen-sets go from start to full throttle nearly instantaneously all the time... mind you, "some" of them have pre-heated circulating coolant to keep them warm, but certainly not always the case.... and they "live" for decades.

@@Romans--bo7br you are correct that generator sets go right to rated rpm and load, but in terms of time between overhauls they run much shorter hours that way. Standby generator service has an extremely short start to run hours ratio, typically averaging 2 hours per start or less. Many generator engines are replaced or rebuilt after as little as 5,000 hours. Those frequent and extreme starting conditions do take their toll.
