A lot of people think this is not very impressive due to the fact that some of these Dodge, Chevy, and Fords with 5.9 to 6.6L are pushing out 600 to 1000hp. The thing they don't under stand is this is 1300hp @ 100% duty cycle where those little engines can only run about 5% or less duty cycle. Long live Detroit.
i agree. but look at the sheer size difference. your comparing apples to water melons. the 5.9 is a lil 6 cylinder this is a 16? ! but yes if you could "mod" it i bet it would make GIANT power

I've been around Detroit generators most of my life. The two strokes all sound the same. They have really good response to load variations too. With a big AM radio transmitter you can watch the governor walk while it stays right at 1800 RPM.

In a northern Saskatchewan mine we used to start the 1000 horsepower 12V149s in Euclid mining trucks in the winter with four cans of ether starting fluid. They used straight 40 engine oil and had vane type air starters. We'd heat them up with Herman Nelson heaters, then pull out plugs on the intake pipes and spray one full can of ether into each bank's intake, then hit the air starter and spray another full can into each bank's intake as it cranked and started to run. I thought it was nuts when I first saw it, but any less and they wouldn't start. The air box is huge on them, but still....
It’s a 2 stroke so it can do that. They are better for making continuous power. Evennsleds are going back to big twin 2 strokes ie like 850 rotax etec and Polaroid 850 patriot because of much higher torque and longevity than a higher revving 4 joke.
because industrial engines are understressed. theyre only putting out like half the power it could so that it barely wears out so that it can run all week or month or even year(s). if they stressed that motor out to its full potential like a race engine it could pprobably do 3500 to 4000hp...for about 5 hours till it cracks apart somewhere
Sure there are Engines making more Power, but with that duty cycle, and just running 1800rpm on the governor for EVER? That's outright damn impressive...
You must have had different Detroit's than I in that case. We used a gallon of oil every operating day, regardless the size. I guess it was the loads that made them burn.
Looks like u got another fine product sir, I’ve done a thousand of these engines sir but I don’t do it anymore only play w/ Harley’s now ! “But I do miss them”
Harley big v-twins, yes those big jugs have lots of room to cut any 2 stroke port pattern into them. An 850 rotax etec pattern or a Polaris 850 patriot pattern! That would be an interesting 2 stroke conversation for those billet twins!
Nice to see a diesel engine running at full power and not "rolling coal". It would be nice if more people understood that by "rolling coal" they are shortening the life of their engine and WASTING MONEY. Irritates me when I hear people talking about "rolling coal" like it is something great.
Parent of Twins well on huge power scale diesels it is actually helping cool down the cylinders but 99.999% of the trucks you see on the road dumping unburnt fuel are just doing it because they this it’s “cool”
I know of some planty's that took some big Cat's apart after 20,000 hours for measurement and a full rebuild and it actually had no appreciable wear. They could have reassembled it and placed them back into service. But once removed they were rebuilt for the obvious reasons. They run under full load all the time. Rings pushed against the cylinders, full oil pressure. Thats the lesson. Oh they were generators.
+MrMeanderthal General Electric Co used the 12V71 twin turbo as a STARTING MOTOR for MS5001 gas turbine generators. They would fire up, idle for a few seconds, then go wide open for about 5 minutes to bring the turbine up to 20% speed. From there the gas turbine would light off and accelerate on its own and the jaw clutch would disengage and the Detroit would idle for a bit then shut down. I think I remember seeing 600HP as the engine rating. The gas turbine was 24 Megawatts or around 30,000 horsepower at 5100 rpm. There was no muffler, just a straight stack exiting the accessory cab. That sound!!! The 12V71 is also my favorite but I only have a 3-53 barge engine in my stuff.

there are so many trucks out here today that far surpass those power numbers. plenty of longhaul truckers with PDI and Pittsburgh Power modified engines, power numbers 900-1100hp and 2800-3300 tq.

TDIMAXDIESEL..... The ONLY Detroit Diesel that was Ever put into a "locomotive" was the little Series 40 (single drive axle at both ends) switch engine that EMD built back in the late 1940s - most went to the US Navy, and there were only 17 or 19 of them built, and they were a center cab design with twin 6-71NA's for power rated at 145hp each with N50 injectors. There were three other small locomotives also built around 1957 by EMD... one had a single 8V71N and the other two were center cab with twin 8V71N's... one of which went to Mexico, and the other stayed in Canada... all three of those were built at GMD at EMD's London, Ontario plant.
@@admiraltroll5255... If you're referring to the Budd RDC's (aka Buddliners)... most of them had twin 6-110NA's, though some of the combination passenger/baggage/mail versions only used a single 6-110NA and they were all rated at 275hp each.
@@Romans--bo7br yes that is what i was talking about. don't know what loco would have had a 149 though. Most in this power and rpm range were CAT's and Cummins

Any standard truck engine can be loaded 100% like this. For instance, Volvo F7, F10, F12, F16. Its only the small capacity tuned engines which some try to tune three to four times the standard hp which will blow trying to do a max power duty cycle. Trying for 1000hp from 6litres is a recipe for disaster and really don't understand those that try it. Longevity will be virtually non exist ant..
That engine is capable of a lot more HP. If I remember correctly (it’s been a while), from the factory approximately 1800 HP. The 149 is a beautiful engine I might add.
I had to put a main seal in our 4 turbo / 12 cylinder 149 series at the shop a few years ago and the factory spec was 149 HP per cylinder and 402 ft. lbs. of torque per cylinder when I had to look it up. That`s a beast!
Remember kids, if you're comparing this to a light duty diesel you have to give it comparable work... this engine might run this duty cycle for a few hundred hours. 720 hours is a month straight, the used engines you see around with 7000 or 8000 hours have run for a year, and I guarantee nobody's ever going to just sit one idling eating fuel and hours.
Horsepower Hours, that's how many hp x hours ran. When I was a kid, I saw that on the front of a 1940's Wisconsin air-cooled V4 "more Horsepower Hours!" Showed a team of clydesdales pulling hard on the decal. Always stuck with me. Something forgotten today in the automotive world. The 149 series was offered at 146 hp/cyl for continuous use in some marine applications. Almost 1 hp/ci! 8v 92 series was offered at 850. From 736 ci. Hp/hrs is why I am building a blown Keith Black 572 hemi to make "only" 1200hp instead of turboing and NOSing the crap out of a Honda. I want to spend the $ once.
I BUILT 2 FRACK TRUCKS FOR A CUSTOMER EACH ONE HAD THIS ON THE BACK POWERING THE FRACK PUMPS THEY ARE MEAN AND TOUGH AS NAILS. THEY WOULD LINK 2 TOGETHER AND RUN THEM FOR UP TO 72 HOURS AND FULL POWER

Ok well all those old 2 stroke Detroits are usually green the 4 stroke series 92s and 60s and the current 82s are gray and black from the factory that I've ever seen don't see many them green 2 strokers left out there I remember they all used the original Jake brake systems not exaust brakes like most the 4 stroke modern trucks use those Jake's are so damn loud they rattle glass windows and blow over small children and sign post with ease lol usually had 2 separate bank switches and 3 to 4 stages I guess one per cylinder makes sense that's one thing I loved about em that and the super charged plus turbo combinations was awesome no wonder they made so much power actually that and the size displacement combined I'd liked to seen a 4 stroke configuration but that would mean it didn't have to be supercharged just to run correctly like the 2 stroke does then add the turbo charger for the mid range and top end boost power that's awesome to know those ruled the roads at one time
Justin Berryman.... No, the color is NOT "Volvo green"..... it is Alpine Green, and was a trademarked color of GM Diesel Power since 1938 (Officially changed to Detroit Diesel in 1965). However, they were also painted Red for Internationals use in the Transtar series of trucks during the late 1960s through the 1970s, and during the same time period.. all their truck engines going to PACCAR (Peterbilt & KW) were painted a slightly "off white" color. All the engines going to Mack, Brockway, Diamond T, Ford, Dodge, GMC, Chevrolet, Diamond Reo, and Marmon were shipped in the factory Alpine Green color.
@@Romans--bo7br well I knew it looked a little lighter green Volvo is more of a hunter green but green never the less I thought it was early Chrysler engines that used some types of green engine paint I knew Ford used blue from way back in the day even but I'll take GM Chevrolet any day LoL

It was the standard engine for a 170 ton mining truck back in the day.
How is the absorbed energy dissipated?
Funny them old 2 stroke Detroit's were painted Volvo green
Actually they were painted a light green, Volvo just copied them…lol
@@Tshasta4449 I don't ever recall Detroit ever being any shade of green only grey and black mostly grey Volvo uses a dark Hunter green which is ugly as hell there heavy equipment colors on engines is yellow like cat only lighter there engines in Mack trucks is a dark red like the old original Mack engines were back in the day I wished Volvo Trucks used that Mack red and grey like they put in the Mack series trucks
Ok well all those old 2 stroke Detroits are usually green the 4 stroke series 92s and 60s and the current 82s are gray and black from the factory that I've ever seen don't see many them green 2 strokers left out there I remember they all used the original Jake brake systems not exaust brakes like most the 4 stroke modern trucks use those Jake's are so damn loud they rattle glass windows and blow over small children and sign post with ease lol usually had 2 separate bank switches and 3 to 4 stages I guess one per cylinder makes sense that's one thing I loved about em that and the super charged plus turbo combinations was awesome no wonder they made so much power actually that and the size displacement combined I'd liked to seen a 4 stroke configuration but that would mean it didn't have to be supercharged just to run correctly like the 2 stroke does then add the turbo charger for the mid range and top end boost power that's awesome to know those ruled the roads at one time
Justin Berryman.... No, the color is NOT "Volvo green"..... it is Alpine Green, and was a trademarked color of GM Diesel Power since 1938 (Officially changed to Detroit Diesel in 1965). However, they were also painted Red for Internationals use in the Transtar series of trucks during the late 1960s through the 1970s, and during the same time period.. all their truck engines going to PACCAR (Peterbilt & KW) were painted a slightly "off white" color. All the engines going to Mack, Brockway, Diamond T, Ford, Dodge, GMC, Chevrolet, Diamond Reo, and Marmon were shipped in the factory Alpine Green color.
@@Romans--bo7br well I knew it looked a little lighter green Volvo is more of a hunter green but green never the less I thought it was early Chrysler engines that used some types of green engine paint I knew Ford used blue from way back in the day even but I'll take GM Chevrolet any day LoL
5200 NM of torque.
Now what makes me wonder.... How long would this Detroit engine be able to run before it's worn out.... I personaly think forever since it's at it's favorite RPM.....
Does anyone have an answer ?
Something like that? 20,000 hours before a rebuild.
Wow. 3,850 lb/ft of torque. What was the rpm for the peak torque and what is the power curve like?
he says 1805 for torque not 3800
thats rpm bud... it says 3800 ftlbs.
On the 1000 HP 12V149s peak torque was 1300 RPM.
We had them in 100 ton Euclid mining trucks with Allison 6 speed automatics behind them.
At 1320 HP a 16V149T should just be loafing.
How much torque ? ALL OF IT
Big Engine... what would normally take an engine this size?
Tug boats have two of them each rated 1800 hp at 1800 rpm
170 ton mining truck.
Think I can make that fit in my Yogo?
No but your Yugo will fit in it!!!
2384ci and Only 3900 torque ??
better last for 17k hours
How much boost does the 4 turbos produce under a load.
The boost gauge is shown in the video lol
Yeah, 13 psi.
Are these run on HFO or just normal diesel
Normal diesel.
0:17 eh? You getting mixed up with your BHP and the revs
Ear muffs optional!!!
Irin🇮🇷😍😍😍😍😍😍🌹😍😍😍😍😍🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷149
Just add lots of fuel and oil
is that a tug boat engine?
some tractor tugs,have a couple 8,000 HP diesels, I'm not sure, about these it's possible.
@@richardlycawolph4628 lots of Tugboats have these engines most are 1800 hp each 16 149 @1800 hp
Very poor video, jumping all around not showing but dirt
Just under a megawatt, by my calculation.
