On those North American Detroit powered buses, the belts are tensioned from a compressed air cylinder, that doesn’t extend until the brake reservoir pressure is nearly full. It makes replacing belts on the road super easy, but cold starts with low air are interesting.

You mean the blower driven top end of a 2 stroke ie: a 12v71? Thats not a supercharger its a gear driven blower to get air into the engine as large 2 strokes have trouble breathing. It doesnt actually run boost, so technically Theyre naturally aspirated

@ItsDaJax

3 жыл бұрын

@@billyray4716 It's still a supercharger, boost is just the rate in which it pulls air. 1psi or 30psi, it's an airpump, a compressor, it has boost. The name "supercharger" is just popular nomenclature coined when people started pulling those blowers off those diesels and putting them on their hotrods. Supercharger technically isn't even the correct term for any of them, it's just what they're called, like how all toaster pastries are called Pop-Tarts. Roots or twin screw blower or compressor is the correct term, some car review mags and blogs will even say this in the specs, as it is proper. One could argue every supercharger isn't a supercharger, but nearly all of them are used for performance gains- not in the way we think of performance today, but yet still to increase engine performance in pulling more air whether it was for better fuel mixture in the detroit, or so a fighter plane could reach the clouds. They were also used as emissions devices; Fords thermactor by todays standards would be called a tiny centrifugal "supercharger", despite any kind of performance was not it's purpose, and if I recall, it blew air straight in to the exhaust manifold. Same with the "supercharged" Toyota Previa; it's blower was for emissions compliance.

@@ItsDaJax These two-stroke diesels literally do not run without the blower on top, it isn't a power-adder, its crucial to the engines operation. Unlike the usual sort of two-stroke you'd find in a dirtbike, where the combustion chamber is cleared by the fuel-air charge being pushed by the bottom of the piston out of the crankcase, the bottom end of these diesel two-strokes is much like a four-stroke bottom end, there is no port to the cylinder, its full of oil, and it doesn't have a fuel-air mixture inside it. To clear the cylinder at the bottom of the power-stroke, remember, as a two-stroke, there is no exhaust stroke, the blower - true to its name - literally blows the burnt exhaust out and fresh air in. It doesn't really produce any appreciable boost as it does this though, its simply there as a matter of "this is how this engine runs".

The Mercedes O303 is childhood memory. Before turning 20 years old I surrounded the earth twice in these things - fair to say I never sat in one afterwards. Not only because I had a car but also because they were old and disappeared from German roads around that time. Except for the odd Neoplan or Setra (which usually had the same engine type) all bus companies in the area I grew up had O303 coaches. I went on several school class trips, 4 times from the middle of Germany to Florence in Italy on school concert trips, countless day trips and as there was a version for rural line operation as well (called the O303 KHP-L) and Germany uses regular revenue buses as school buses, an O303 happend to be my usual school bus, adding the majority with 35 kilometers each school day for 6 years to the total. And of course I would sit in the back most of the time to hear the engine.

The tickover of the Mercedes OM604LA is something I always loved. Would have been used in the Vario and Atego. I believe I have the engine code correct.

They were used in everything. Military Humvees used them for a while, before they were replaced with Duramaxes, like the H1 used throughout its run. I think Seagrave used them in fire engines until the 00s. Little known fact about Seagrave, is it used to be the FWD truck company in the early 1900s. I think Seagrave uses International Harvester or Catapilar diesels, and they are slower than the detroit trucks 0-40mph.

Pretty cool video. As a kid I dreamt to be like Ascari or Fangio. I appreciated an old Greyhound bus in my later years powered by a V8 Detroit Diesel 2 stroke that absolutely screamed beautiful noise. I did some external sheetmetal work on that one.

I'm a bus spotter, it was great to see a video about buses here! There's a lot to know - and hear - about buses, the Scania DC9 was a great surprise among other great engines listed in this video. Some examples that could be shown in another one: Scania DSC11 (Scania F113HL, K113CL/TL, L113CL and other 113 models), Volvo horizontal 10 litre series (Volvo B10M range, like TH102KF) and 12 litre DH12 (Volvo B12M and B12B TX platform), Mercedes-Benz OM449/MAN D2865, Mercedes-Benz OM366/366A (turbo)/366LA (turbo intercooler), Cummins ISL (Volkswagen 18.330OT), MAN D0836 (Volkswagen 17.260OD/ODS, and other VWCO models), Cummins 6CTAA 8.3 (look for Mafersa, a public Brazilian company that built trains and buses through 1980's to 1999's, model name M210 Turbo), and the list goes on! You'll gonna love them.

Thinking back to going to school in a 1947 Ford rear engine transit bus, overloaded with standees. This 95HP flathead V-8 would somehow climb a steep bridge over railroad tracks on the way.

Elizabeth has amazing pulling power, the way that thing hauls itself up them hills is something else.

The Mercedes 0303 is an awesome bus to ride in and the sound of the engine is just awesome. Detroit diesels are awesome too.

A VW van with a VR6, the exhaust note can really put a smile on one's face.

I love commercial vehicles. The megaliner is my favorite coach, GMC RTS is my favorite transit bus, International Harvester 3700 series are my favorite school bus.

The 4 cylinder Detroit diesel series 50 (a cut down version of the ubiquitous series 60) was a very reliable and distinctively sounding engine, which became the go to power plant for city transit fleets for a decade after the two cycle Detroit’s were phased out for emissions reasons. Worthy of an honourable mention.

For me the best sounding bus engines were the mack maxidine used in Portugal in the seventies. The engine was so powerful that the bus just used five speeds, being faster and more powerful than the others. And when accelerated, it produced a strong but pleasant hiss. It was able to get a speed of 50mph (80km/h) in a 10% incline and had a top speed of 85mph ( about 140 km/h).

That steam bus I still can't get over how awesome that sounds rolling and then driving along away I hear it in my sleep 😂😀

Nice to see some big utilitarian engines on the channel! At 5:40 I was thinking that boy, that sure looks like Finland. Then it dawned on me that it actually is my hometown, Oulu. The bus in the video is running an old livery. Nowadays they are pink!

Been waiting for this one.

Two of my favorite bus engines when it comes to sound are de OM449LA (used in the Mercedes O-400upa series chassis)and the OM-366LA (used in the Mercedes Benz OF-1620, OF-1721 and OH-1621 series chassis)

Hey guy! Nice video! Don't forget the Scania K113CL chassis and the amazing engine sound!

My favourite bus engine is the Volvo DH10A engine. It was used in those old Volvo B10-BLE buses. They're out of service now, but they were legendary. I live in the UK but I think they were in service elsewhere.

90's babies in the US, the best sounding bus engine for us was the T444E then the VT365. Something about smelling the spent diesel on a cool fall morning.

I remember seeing Elizabeth in whitby years ago now I was I think 9 or 10 years old. Still beings a smile to my face hearing it :)

There's nothing that compares to sitting in the back seat of a bus powered by a Detroit 😊 Especially if it's mated to an Allison AT545 transmission 🥰 Boy, the two of them could sing a song 😁
