"Water injection". Will do wonders when done properly. Then there is this... Had something close once when a VW 1.6 NA IDI I had JUST finished putting together & took it for a test drive. Took it on the road & it accelerated about 2x faster than it really should have...maybe 9 sec to get to 60 plus & 5th gear where normal is about 14sec. Problem was also that the temp gauge climbed just as quick. Culprit was cheap TTY head bolts stretched too soon (supposed to retorque after 500miles....not 2 miles) & too much (entire cooling system simultaneously feeding the motor & boiling over). Fortunately no damage...new MAHLE bolts + gasket & all was good.

Actually, in tractor pulling most pullers have a system that inject water in the intake pipe between the intercooler and the engine. It serves two purposes first it Makes the air more dense and the explosions are more powerful and second it help to cool the engine down, it basicly acts like low Power nitrous Shots. With a setup like that you can make a 70hp diesel engine take Up 60+ pounds of boost whitout any problem and make the engine have 600hp.

I talked to a specialist a while back and the biggest reason Detroits have to be pounded on to perform is because they were performance biased more than economy biased. They overscavenge the cylinders, and just adjusting the port timing and exhaust timing they become more efficient.

I'm really impressed with how it just kept taking the water and running. I don't think that's how water cooling is supposed to work. Also, you unintentionally made a perfect Hydro diesel mix.

From engine rebuilds and teardowns to bus burnouts and crashes. This channel never disappoints.

I have a fresh rebuilt 6v53 in a Timberjack skidder . The engine had been sitting in a crate for a few years and never installed. I put the machine together, and found a few sticky injectors. I managed to free them all up, except one. I spent hours trying to get it to stop sticking. I had a Detroit specialist stop by. He told me “do not start that engine or it will run away on you and you’ll never stop it. It will blow up. You need to replace every injector.” When he left, my dad said “we’re starting it up. To hell with that guy.” As soon as we hit the key, that fresh build ran right out of control, just like the guy said. However, through all the screaming (humans and the jimmy) we tgrough a piece of plywood over the intake, and we started pulling off fuel lines. We got her stopped, pulled off the valve cover, and all the injectors worked just as they should. We hit the key again, and she purred like a kitten. That was 20 years ago and that old machine is still running strong. My dad saved me $3000 in injectors! Thanks dad! RIP

Their engineers were amazed at how high a percentage of water the fuel could contain and still autoignite.

Also with the engine running away at high RPM it actually makes for even less chance of hydrolock, since you have more displacement per second to help distribute the water (8 cylinders x 71 c.i. x 4,000 rpm is a LOT of volume). If it were only turning at 1,000 or 1,500, the water to air ratio going into the cylinders would be much higher.

I've watched a lot of runaway videos now and it's amazing to me that these engines can run for so long, SO much faster-spinning than God ever intended, with no cooling system at all, and somehow they never break, they just eventually seize. And sometimes, after they cool off, they can be run again! That just impresses me.

I have an idea on how to get one to throw a rod: Set up a Detroit to run away like so. But bring in another truck/engine and disconnect the turbo from the intake. Connect the compressor outlet of the second engine to the intake / compressor or blower inlet of the runaway engine. This way when you rev up the second engine you should effectively be compounding boost into the runaway motor, which should hopefully match the added fuel and over power the engine enough to throw a leg out of bed.
