- This bus is an Ex Horizon MCI 102A3. This bus has a Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine and Allison HT740 transmission with Jake Brakes. You can clearly hear the jakes in this video. Enjoy !!!!
Listen carefully at the 2:01 mark when the traffic light turns green, you can actually hear the driver "nail" the accelerator to the floor, that was required to get such a huge, empty bus off the line, imagine with 47 passengers and luggage aboard what a sloth this bus would be? As unique an engine that was short lived, it's distinct sound is unforgettable.
its the turbo , u can hear her whistling meaning shes about done thats why the bus seems slow the turbo gives it power
Would've preferred the original 6V92TA engine, or its bigger 400+ horse brother, the 8V92TA.
6v92
Horizon still has quite a few 102-A3's with the Series 50 still in operation in Seattle as well as in Victoria B.C.
@seClip9 Not too long ago i saw an MC-9 bus for sale with a Series 50 retrofit on it.
i never heard a ht transmission hooked up to a series 50 until today
Those older MCIs like these had these series 60s installed in them. They replaced their 6V92s
This Bitch Sounds Good With A Series 50 Engine.
i didnt think a series 50 4 cyl engine could push a big motorcoach as a mci 102a3 amazing my favorite engine love the jake brake though
A retrofit with new Series 50 engine in it. Never knew they would do this retrofit. The other known MCI bus with Series 50 engine is Greyhound's MCI MC-12 in the later models that has Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine that's included when they were delivered.
@6V92TA - Im sorry ... it has a HT740
I think I like this set up, better than the B500 with Series 50s in the Greyhound MC12s, but those MC12s can likely climb those hills better than this bus, but I still like this set up.
Did this bus had a 6v92TA Engine before?
yes they repowered it
Holy shit. It actually reminds me a bit of the 2000 New Flyer C40LF. (The Nova Bus RTS-06 sounds somewhat different.)
Series 50 FTW!!!
@TheBusDriver84 - My sincere apologies. Thank u for catching me on the transmission. I mistaken it for a B500...durrr lolol. thanks man
@joshalex93 - thank you sir
@MAR1NAB5180 It is probably an ex Greyhound MC-12. I know that's the only known kind to have a Series 50 engine in it.
This series 50 engine sounds great.
She Rides Like A Cadillac. Great Video.
Martz Trailways Had A Couple of These But Like In 1989 and 90 models with the same set up
sweet shit..this bus sounds awesome!!
Wait a minute did they actually have Series 50 engines in 1987?
SuperWorldFreak7000 My guess would be that it was a retrofit.
Holy mother hell i am finished!
Yo Eddie!! Man this thing is tight!!!! make me want it!!
@mmffl123456 - actually i might do that in a few hours with an exterior warm up
yo no prob man!!!
@seClip9 - Yo when I heard this bus last night, I was completely no good. My ass was beyond finished bro lol. I was doing a charter last night, and I had to pull some strings with my boss to pull this bus out
Damn! I was hoping someone would rev that big ass 4 cylinder! When y'all did @ 1:44, I was DONE! BTW, this is indeed the first MCI 102-A3 bus I've ever heard with the Series 50 as a retrofit engine.
there's nothing wrong with the dd series 50 engine with a ht 740 Allison automatic transmission if you like that idea of a environment friendly engines like I seen a mci mc12 buses have that dd series 50 engine is a big 4 cylinder diesel engine that some greyhound buses have and also an neoplanan460 that still is a septabuses that motor is a silent motor call me old fashioned but I wouldn't use that engine in my buses and very expensive to keep Tony you should check out this video you would like a tree hugging environment friendly engines in your own bus
woooooooooo shiiiiit!!!!! "in my Thomas voice"!!!! lol
