Detroit 4-53T - new stacks, new turbo! Let's hear it! 

Thank you for the kind comment, and you're right on all 3 counts!

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!

​@@jlo13800An outboard...gasoline?Didn't you feature nice k series Detroit powered videos?

I love the new Rotax 850 etec turbo r at 1200 rpm, polaris 850 and acrtic cat 858 those are the jimmy's of snowmobiles!

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. 👍

Thanks for your comment. I learned to drive in an old White Road Boss with an 8V71... probably very similar to that Astro. 👍

Those are modern International air ride spring hangers.

Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you've got a good project!

@@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! 💥🤩✌️

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.

Me too. No mon no fun

I've seen those pulling videos... pretty wild!

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. 👍

Thanks for the reminder, I was trying to think of that name, the other one that I know about is called Lizard skin, or sknz

Making me feel old. I was going to suggest Dynamat. 😒

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. 👍

No matter which one you use. It will always sound better naturally aspirated.

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.

Thanks for you comment. What size Chevy, and what diesel engine? I love to hear about similar projects!

@@hanscustomshop it is a 1/2ton pickup with a 6cylider diesel engine 👍

Sounds like a fun project... what's the Cummins going in?

@@hanscustomshop either a square body 3/4 ton suburban, or a second gen dodge single cab dually with a manual trans.

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.

Thank you very much for that suggestion. I will check that site out also.

Lead?

I've got a 10 speed manual transmission with overdrive in the truck... gives me plenty of range. 👍

Nice job on the build 👍 love the chrome rocker cover and the pod filters are good you don't need any external crap piping etc.

That's fantastic. I'm looking forward to finding out how this truck does. I do have a 0.8 overdrive 10th gear and 3.55 in the rear end.

Roadranger RTO-6610 transmission. 👍

Pulling a trailer even with a small load could easily take a mile to get it up to 55 mph .Most people wouldn't be able to mentaly handle that.

What kind of fuel mileage would it get pulling a light load?

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. 👍

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. 👍

Yep a turbo timer is good to have.

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.

Thanks for watching. I used the original Diamond T frame. It's in very good condition and worked just fine for my upgrades.

@@hanscustomshop ten 4 you did an awsome job for sure

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

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! 👍

@@hanscustomshop Nice! Looking forward to the next video 👍 Subscribed

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.
