I worked on a tow boat with two of these on the Mississippi River in the USA. I was a deckhand and we slept in rooms that were next to them on the next level. When you first got on you couldn't sleep because of them and after a couple of days if they shut down you would instantly wake up.
It is amazing what we can become "used to" and ignore. I afraid the rising generation knows nothing about tolerating accomodating and moving on. I used work for the US Forest Service many years ago. When fire fighting we did what had to be done when it needed to be done. Sometimes that meant being up for more than 24 hours working. Not fun not desirable but sutuation required a couple times.
she ain't been started for quite a spell has she boys!? but soo fine when she finally lights!! mates!! the hair stood up on my kneck!! lol Great vid boys!!!
Yea back in the day guys would say theyd start to slow down when you could see the hill coming up ,but they were a big part of history was a shitload of them around
it is not like small engines where you let off the start, when the engine starts. On these big diesels, you have to keep your hand on start, till the oil pressure overrides the stop cycle, it does not keep the starter engaged, like on smaller engines.
They pick up fast on cold starts as Detroit 2 strokes run anti friction bearing on very hardened 4340 chrome moly nickel alloy rods and crankshaft. It’s harder than skidoos 850 rotax etec turbo crankshaft most likely. I got an 8v92 2 stroke turbo I’m currently running 6 gallons of BRP XD-100 Evinrude synthetic oil I get from Walmart. She purrs like a kitten on it. I pull off from the gear VRO pump to a mixing valve I pumped to tge fuel line to burn it off gradually and I dump I’m more XD-100. That’s stuff works great and burns cleaner too. She runs quieter and cooler with a bit more power now. I cut in sons amsoil interceptor a gallon and it’s flawless. I’m gonna give castor 927 maxima a try next if I can get enough of it.
Yes indeed. For me the only thing better than the Detroits is the big v16 EMD 645's that they use in their diesel locomotives, tug boats, and huge backup generators.
B Laquisha they’re actually turning relatively the same RPMs...but bc the Detroit is 2 stroke it Sounds like it’s running twice as fast as it really is, because there are twice as many combustion cycles
They are on the tug boat I work on now! It’s got 1200 rpm 6-71 80kw w/kato alternators. I saw a skidoo at a dealer with 850 rotax etec turbo, at just above idle at 1200 it sounded like a 4-53 at 1200. When I was a kid I got a used John Deere JDX8 with CCW 440 in it and it leaked oil out the clutch side, I ran 40:1 w Castro GTC 10w40. I’m running Mobil 410 I got off a boat at 50:1 in my Stihl fs-240 brush cutter 40:1 in lawn boy duraforce. They run great on that ad it’s tge same 2 stroke oil for the emd 645
Normally I would agree but Detroit's are fine to rev the piss out of just after oil pressure comes up. I won't try and say you increase engine life like that but many of these gensets start and go right to high idle... and they last for years nonetheless
They are designed to do this. They have oil warmers and electric circulation pumps so they can be started quickly in case of emergency. Unless they are taken out of service for long periods. Hospitals and nursing homes need these generators to go from 0 rpm to full throttle quickly because every second they spend down during emergencies the more lives could perish.
It will be fine. As long as the oil is there and it doesn't get above its rated speed. They warm up rather fast too. Just look at the big bus 747. Same engine and the radiator is massive
I would like to try silicon nitride bearings in my 8v92 2 stroke turbo bond rebuild time. Mine just had the stock tool steel bearings and I’m running BRP-XD-100 with a touch of amsoil interceptor 2T. That shit works great. It’s got a garret turbo that darn near spins forever it flick it by hand. I aimed a leave blower at it when it was not running and I could hear it mske that jet engine wine.
I was in a quary where they crush stone and they had a generator with 16 cyl Cat engine and u cant stay in that trailer for long with it running or you will puke! From vibration.
Is this a generator? Or a propulsion unit for something? I'm seeing it in a conex, but the box has fans and the like, so it has me wondering what it's purpose is.
The thing that would terrify me about this engine is if it ever ran away... It's scary enough with a 4 stroke, I couldn't even imagine the potential with a 2 stroke.
We’ll get yourself a new skidoo 850 rotax etec turbo or a Polaris 850 patriot turbo khaos. I got this crazy ideas of making a 1700 rotax or 1700 Polaris opposed piston gout of 2 of either 850’s with silber turbo! Imagine if Fairbanks mired made 2 stroke truck and snowmobile engines. I saw a 38-8 1/8 on a submarine on a tour whil in navy. I think he said it ran oil injection not sure. Tge jumo junker 207 and this new Cummins 2 stroke does mart.cummins.com/imagelibrary/data/assetfiles/0058689.pdf
this big engines may be primmed very well,a bubbles in the fuel line are enough to stop the engine...the engine started well,but it stops quickly. Sure the line fuel wan t full of fuel.
Turbocharged or roots charged???? i think the second option. Noisy but is normal in 2 strokes engines. Six exhaust,but two big mufflers and then go a "tank"and six exhaust pipes out with water ptotection cups:
Four turbos, not just two. This is the TIB variant with the bypass blowers. The 16v149 is really just two 8v149s mounted front to back, each one is a twin turbo single blower engine so the resulting beast is quad/twin. If you look really carefully between the air cleaners (the two black cans on each side of the engine) you'll probably be able to see them. Each air cleaner goes to one turbo compressor inlet.
They use them for hospitals too. We had 8 of them for the hospital where I grew up. They powered all the rooms and they were very fast starting. If the power became unstable they would start and go full throttle to keep power stable automatically. I was near one when it fired up one time. I loaded up my pants because I wasn't expecting it.
So would tge Polaris patriot 850 turbo khaos sled. That sled is luge a little Detroit 2 stroke turbo on steroids! I like the jimmy sound of tge rotax 850 etec turbo skidoo at 1200 rpm above idle. It sounds like tge 6-71 2 stroke generator motor on the tug I now work on. It’s got 8-645 EMDtfat start real easy.
Love how these things scream, I'd bet that engine never went above 900rpm in the video even though it sounds like it's in full runaway mode... Now THERE is a thought, WTF would one of these sound like if it did run away and hit something like 4k rpm? my pants are nearly turning brown at the mere thought of hearing that!
Rated rpm for the big bus 747 which is a v16 detroit like this one is about 2200 rpm. At least that is where they ran it at. All it is though is two v8 Detroit diesels slapped together to make a mega diesel
This engine is governed to 1800 RPM, no more and no less. It has a speed limiter governor, not a variable speed one. A runaway 8v92 will start floating valves at 2400-2600 RPM, and will probably throw a rod after a few seconds at 2900. They would get no where near 4000 RPM
@@pootispiker2866 wow that's something, they really do sound like they're doing 3 times the RPM they are actually. Crazy cool engines, just wish we had them in the uk

roy gunter farout that must have been some tow boat
Know the feeling. USAF watercraft Tyndall AFB. 80-86
Yup worked on tugs for years Detroit powered only way l could sleep on land was with tv static.
Truth. They had three on the fishing boat Qualifer 105. I sleep instantly to the detroit diesel symphony, though.

it's like kicking a T rex in the ankle once he wakes up you better run
Lol great 👍🏻
Ya!
1930’s technology that was so good, the only thing that killed them was tight emissions Regs!
Yup so true !!
I need one of these in my back yard, so when I'm feeling a little down, it can cheer me up by doing what a Detroit does best- Convert fuel into noise
gawd i reckon !!!
and all the smoke !!!
Amen brother
Let me sing you the song of my people.
Up here in America only the enthusiastic guys keep the Detroits alive. Glad you fellas down under have kept the Detroit diesel legacy alive!
Excellent thanks for watching
2 minutes of run time and all of Australia has electricity for 6 months! Lol
This is new Zealand
New Zealand? Lol
Definitely not Australia !!!
I remember when all the city buses had a Detroit two stroke in them. That sound was so common.
really that would have been excelent
LOVE the sound of a Detroit
I know right
Detroit’s and Cats sound the best
she ain't been started for quite a spell has she boys!? but soo fine when she finally lights!! mates!! the hair stood up on my kneck!! lol Great vid boys!!!
CAT DIESEL POWER I reacon
Paul Lacy no that’s a Detroit Diesel 16V 149.
I bought a new 350 Detroit in a freightliner in 1973. Scream the loudest, promise the most, & deliver the least. I still like to here them run.
A man who actually drove one
You just forgot to slam your hand in the door getting in

Yes you are correct
music to my ears rite there nothin like the sound of a Detroit diesel
so goood
that guy knows
when you need 6 exhaust pipes
2 big mufflers and the output exhaust go to a "tank easier" and six exhausts go out. with two biggers were enough ( 2x 6 inches)
You know you have a problem when you need 6
six of the best
16-149 @ 1780 rpms. Beauty !
such a Beauty
Screaming Detroit diesel engines are pure industrial duty work engines. Pure mechanical music.
yes ya cant get a better sound from a machine
Geeks enjoying a motor in the shop that I used daily 50 years ago.
gnus hey don’t worry we used it plenty thanks just getting it ready for going out
A singing Detroit, the best gennies ever
sooo good

What 2 stroke oil have you run thru your detroit 16v149, klotz techiniplate
sooo happy

yup we really loved cranking that Detroit
I thousand Sux Hundrud. Bloody Kiwi's. Only joking, hears cheers from Aus. Love the sound of a two stroke .
fush n chups to !!! cheers my aus friend
first newzealander cold start video ive ever seen
Glad you liked it cheers Buddy
I can think of a few greedy fucking real estate developers who need this in their driveway at 6am
Ahahahaha so true excelent !!!
he was chickening on the stop button !
i know the pussey
Oi'd say that were worthy of a "woo hoo," certainly.
woo hoo
Indeed it is a marvel of an engine
glad my car isn't that slow to start
vevohoeyo it would start up better if he started up regularly he probably only starts it up now and then to keep it up
If only your car lasted as long as a gm motor
same hear
Hey there it has 5864.7 torque
Cold-natured as hell.
we love it
So much for letting her warm up. What was that, about 15 seconds of idle time on a cold engine before putting her on the governor.
B.S Noodleman yeah I reacon ay . I'll give him a tune up , whatcha reacon 💪

And full throttle on that thing isn't more than 3000 rpm. Its 2 stroke so it sounds like 6000 rpm but not.

its a generator for back up. maybe an outage of power this generator can be bought in to power up while maintainence is completed.
shell make powaa!
lol !!!
The video guys giggle ever time it cranks lol. Gawd does that thing ever sound like it is a run away. Got to be 3600rpm screamer

3,000
Doubt it's over 2800 sounds like 2100 constant duty
Yes a bit exciting i must say!!!
Oh yeah!!
hell yeah
Imagine if the fuel rack gets stuck on full throttle!
that would be difficult
valve float for days!
that laugh
ahahahahahah
1600 iron pony's 👍👌
So true!!!
Seems awfully fiddly to start when you consider the intended application...
They weren't turning it over long enough.
The intended application is to start it & run for 1000 hrs or so, shut down, service & do it again
dont rob a bank with it
The thing that would terrify me about this engine is if it ever ran away... It's scary enough with a 4 stroke, I couldn't even imagine the potential with a 2 stroke.

nomon95 hey I hear what your saying . He keeps stoping the engine just to get the oil up
With mechanical unit injectors air in the line will not stop injection. This isn't a common rail diesel.
Any idea what series the engine is? 92 or 149 series
149
yes a 149
16V92?
sure thing

If you're going to go that big just go all the way and use an electromotive 745 16

what is it ?
Stephen Hansen a generator
Yes a generator often used for power line companys to use while they do maintenance !!!
What the hell is it powering?
Angry Jesus industrial power generation for mobile work sites would be my guess
It's a generator
Usually for power outages in towns or cities
They use them for hospitals too. We had 8 of them for the hospital where I grew up. They powered all the rooms and they were very fast starting. If the power became unstable they would start and go full throttle to keep power stable automatically. I was near one when it fired up one time. I loaded up my pants because I wasn't expecting it.
