Yeah right but the new BRP 1.9L ETEC g2 2 stroke can can kick the crap out of the old 4-53 2 stroke and is outdoing it in 2 stroke engine swaps, The 1.9l 3 cyl is close to a 3-53 and delivers way more power too. The new arcticat 858 is on par with a 4-53 2 stroke and a 4-53 2 stroke detroit runs fine with klotz techiplate 2 stroke oi like my 8v92. A detroit is like like a polaris snowmobile engine sort of!A 4-53 sounds like a 74 scorpion 440 CCW or kinda like my John deere JDX8 which had a CCW 440 which leaked like a detrioit but kept on going! cheers!
My two favorite things about this project: (1)You are having fun; and (2) you are proud of what you are doing! To me, that says it all. Oh, and I almost forgot my third favorite thing: (3) the truck!
That old Detroit sounds nice, with a little sound deading didn't hurt the noise level. Hopefully it wont hurt your ears, or rattle your brain. The truck is looking good too. 😊
Great job. I love it. Please consider hearing protection for your kiddos. From years of driving Detroit powered trucks I can tell you that the high pitched whine of the blower and turbo are equal if not more damaging to your hearing as the loud noise.
My father put a 453 turbo Detroit in the F350 Ford flatbed 1 ton back in like 1980 pops mated it to a 5x4 didn’t have a lot of power, but man the look and sound was so unique people loved it
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Now that is one sweet looking & sounding Diamond T. You should have plenty of power & ability to haul/get down the road. I love seeing the old trucks getting a new lease on life. I have a 51 REO that a work in progress. It needs lots of work, but most of the older trucks do, as you probably know. Many of us like to know as many details of a build & a visual evidence of it all. Looking good, Dude! Will be a treasure! Blessings. 💥🥰✌️
@@hanscustomshop 🇺🇸 A good project indeed. I have a 454 or a DT466 diesel to use in it. Not sure what route I’m taking yet. I have much to do before then. It’s currently a wrecker. It’s coming along. Enjoyed your truck. Have fun with your truck! 💥🤩✌️
Just awesome, I love these old Diamond T's. For some reason I thought that all the Detroit's had to use a rootes type of supercharger. Great job, if I get to Colorado some day I hope to see it person, maybe let us know if you are going to a car show.
You're right... all 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engines use a "blower" to blow fresh air into the cylinders and scavenge exhaust gas out. The blower doesn't increase the pressure of the air, so the term supercharger really doesn't fit. Turbochargers were an option for many of the Detroit Diesel models. The turbocharger feeds high pressure air into the intake of the blower. 👍
Nice rat rod diamond T truck it reminds me of the good ole days where Detroit Diesel engines were running around even before i was born now it’s all Cummins caterpillar and other diesel engines
Awesome truck and great sounding. If you still need to reduce the noise or drone level on the interior look into Kilmat or similar sound deadening insulation products, it's a thin butyl rubber sound insulation sheets that has a self adhesive side and you just stick it on your interior sheet metal wherever needed, a 2-4" hand roller helps adhere it into crevices and make it form to the panels.
That's good advice, thanks. I do have the firewall covered in the butyl rubber sheeting. I'll be adding more as I work through the rest of the interior. 👍
Love it! Thanks for the details on the exhaust and the turbo! I have a 453t , ‘48 Ford f5 and an ‘85 f350 dually rolling chassis. Still looking for a trans, possibly 8 spd. But, I am thinking of selling the 453 and looking for a 353. That 3 cylinder has a nastier sound IMO. Keep the updates coming on this beauty!
Thanks for your comment. The 453 was a very tight fit in this truck. In hindsight, a 353 would have been a much easier selection. But I'll make good use of the extra power. I actually just recently bought a salvaged Silver 3-53T out of an aircraft tug. I don't know what it'll be going into yet, but I've got some ideas. 👍
Havan arctic cat 1000 triple natural gas generac which runs good and makes 277/480v power. how does an detroit 4-53 2 stroke compare and detroits run better klotz techniplae like an 8-71.
The AC 1000 is 1800 rpm and 48 kw, it could do 32 kw with the exhaust valves at lower port timing at 1200 rpm thought. She can burn either shell rotella or amsoil interceptor though, oil pressure about 40 psi of VRO feed.
Yooo, run that mother hubbard down the road, that thing sounds badass. You can really hear the blower through the exhaust giving an otherwise boring 4-cylinder some kind of epic synth/raid siren sounding overtone.
i can hear and see er i my mind pulling like a ox up a winding road on a steep mountain somewhere with max gross on and making it look good. you did good.
I can't wait for that! And it's coming soon. I've had it out a couple of times and it runs great. Winter is here in Colorado, so waiting for good dry roads and a nice day to head out for a longer drive.
Just found your channel. I love these old trucks. Especially the Screamin Demons! . I leaned to drive in 1986 in an old GMC Astro with an 8v something in it. Goota love that Detriot sound! Regards from Ody Slim
Truck sounds awesome man! I’ve built several gas V8s in my day but i recently decided to try my hand on my first diesel. My son found a 12 valve p pump Cummins at or local pull a part for 300 bucks! It’s getting tore down to go to the machine shop. Now you got me wanting a Detroit! 😂
They're tough to find, especially in good condition. The Facebook Diamond T group is a good place to hang out... folks will occasionally post nice trucks for sale.
Just saying i knew a man that made his on style of a flow master super 10 style muffler....where there's are oval these are square...but he made them for a 8v71 ...same style muffler just in diesel dimmishion..and it sounded amazing....mit be a neat pice of Info...cool little truck 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You can put as many mufflers and as much sound deadening in there ya want, probably still won’t be able to have a conversation without yelling 😂 love them ole 2 strokes 🤘🏼 nice build!
Sounds great! I actually like the deeper tone. I put N80s in a natural 6V53 it smoked but not like a pulling tractor or semi! You need to watch some Oliver 1950 pulling tractors with the 4-53s turned WAY up. No turbos. They breathe fire at 5k rpms.
Is that the stock frame if so could you go over some of the suspension and tire size! Great build by the way also what transmission are you using as well as final gear ratio!
Thanks for the comment. I'm putting together a video with details on the suspension, wheels, etc. Transmission is a Roadranger RTO-6610 with 0.8 overdrive. Rear end has 3.55 ratio.
I agree, it sounds good and strong. It's a gear reduction starter from Masco, link below. I've got it hooked up with 2/0 cable. mascostartersandalternators.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=39
Ya' they are loud, I got a 1979 Ford F350 4x4 with a 453t, jake and a 10 spd od. It has a full size 4" bus muffler and you still can't hear yourself think!
Hi this Truck should be protected it’s so nice love noise love Detroits I drove 8.92 TT A with around 500. H P love them …your truck mate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
So I have a 453 detroit diesel. I've been looking to put in a truck still looking for a truck to put it in. My question is what trans are you using, adapter plate and turbo. Another thing is I'm looking to put a set of Jake's on mine. Any help is appreciated
I'm using a Roadranger RTO-6610 transmission, which is a 10 speed manual. No adapter plate, but you need to make sure your bellhousing and clutch housing are the same size (for example, SAE #2). I had a Silver turbo on the engine, but recently installed this Pulsar 300 series with a 63mm compressor wheel. I haven't driven the truck yet, so can't report on how well the turbo works. Jake's are tough... they are relatively rare for the 53 series, so very expensive (maybe $1000 per cylinder). I do know some folks are working on an aftermarket solution.
Have you upgraded the seals in the roots blower? a weak point on the blowers! Sounds like the rack needs balancing also, shouldn't lope even cold. That is some rig you've got there 👍
I agree with you. After shooting this video, I didn't like the lope. I found that the Jake's buffer switch wasn't adjusted properly. I've got it adjusted, and believe this will stop the lope. The rack looks good. 👍
An intercooler would be nice, but absolutely no space available for one. This is the OEM configuration of this engine (turbo straight into blower), this turbo is just a little larger. But the turbo isn't radically larger. I'm not concerned about air temp.
With turbocharged always let the engine idle for at least 30 seconds before shutting down engine puts oil in the turbo for lubricant and the turbo can spend at 20,000 RPM. With no oil going to the turbo it will go bad quick.
I saw a video couple whilst back were a truck similar to this was doing a start up Nd it ran away was it this truck or maybe I'm mistaking it for some one else😅.
I love a Detroit and this is a gorgeous build. The 7A77 is a 71-Series injector, have you had any issues with injector advance/timing on the 53? Appears to have cleaned up quite well with the 300 turbo, what’s your boost pressure on the snail? Cheers, Chris
I'll be able to answer your questions better after driving the truck some. Although the 7A77 is for 71 series like you mentioned, it is a popular choice for the 53 series folks that are looking for a little extra power. There are actually guys running 92 series injectors in 53 series engines. Regarding boost pressure, I'll be able to tell you once I drive the truck and can get the engine warmed up and loaded. Can't wait to do it! 👍
Don't know if they made a bypass blower for the inline 53 series but without it your trying to push all the turbo boost through the blower which turn the blower into a restriction and a parasitic load. A company Johnson & Towers developed the bypass blower end plate that significantly improved performance on 92 and 149 series engine. I think they may have bypassed the 6V-53 on high output marine engines. Nice looking build. Good job.
Yes, Detroit made a bypass blower for this engine. It was installed on Silver series engines. I want one, but they are hard to find. Hope to make that upgrade sometime soon. 👍
Thats bad ass I have some 40's era kb series internationals ide like to do this with what did you use for a frame or rails? I have a common rail 5.9 for a powerplant
It's going to be a road tractor. I've got a huge semi truck 5th wheel hitch that I'll mount on the back. Eventually plan to build a little low-boy trailer to haul cars.
Make their sure there is rubber in between the cab and your brackets holding with that that will help quiet down on the inside outside sounds great but running down the road especially with small kids. It could be hard on the ears. Nice looking truck buddy you’ve done a good job, I’m not envious but I’d like to have one just like it may God bless the godly redneck says be safe
"It's not fancy but it gets the job done" probably accurately describes a lot of us.
