Test run on a Detroit Diesel 16V71 that was rebuilt for a customer. This engine was tuned to 625 horsepower for its purpose in the mining industry. Industrial Diesel,Inc. www.industriald... 800-323-3659 or 817-232-1071
is that all...go read up 'Big Bud 747 Tractor'...that has a V16 Detroit that can put out 1900 horsepower if need be but for general field work is usually run at 1100h horsepower
Sounds like a demon gotta love the 12 and 16v Detroits they sound like satan himself sounds like reliable gm power to bad the things that made the old 2 stroke Detroits great smoke and the amazing sound where their down fall the epa killed the 2 stroke Detroit they never could be clean enough to pass emissions witch is the way a real diesel should be smell the exhaust that smells like diesel and kerosene not with the def exhaust that smells like swimming pool chlorine
Worked for Detroit diesel in Miami ( FDDA) and the yacht Noble House, which was owned by Wendy's owner , had 2 aluminum " lay down" 6-71s that were used in the troop carriers from wwll
@@andrewking9761 it's been 20 years so I misspoke, I dynoed 2 separate 12v71 engines and they made 400hp which is about right when you consider a 6-71 makes 200hp
The 71 series engines were designed along the lines of the Thomas diesel. Thomas was bought by GM and became the Cleveland Diesel division and made large engines for locomotives, later to be EMD. The smaller engines, (-71 series) became Detroit Diesel Div.of GM. So, yes there is a definite relationship to the EDM 567 series.
I have a client with two of these in 1965 ATT telecom bunker. IUntouched vintage condition .What is the value of these engines? The bunker had an equipment hoist to.lift them out.
Na stands for naturally aspirated (atmospheric air pressure) and a Detroit is not! They are super charged but they are not turbocharged so you don't get no turbo whine
Normally asperated? Yes and no. They have superchargers but those are set up to operate at very low pressure and have more to do with the two stroke design and moving the fresh air into the intake ports and forcing exhaust gases out. Without the blower it won't run at all. The later Detroit engines had turbochargers added to the supercharger to improve the engine breathing at higher engine speeds. The supercharged only engines ran out of 'wind' above 2000 rpm and the turbo addition kept them pulling at higher speeds.
Back in 1988 we put a 16 / 71 into a tugboat, we got the motor used out of a scallop dragger and removed the old in line tug boat motor. We had to cut the entire deck off the tugboat because the motor is so huge. I would say it had to be 10 ft long and 6 or 7 ft wide and we had to use an industrial crane to set it into the tugboat. We did this on the commercial dock in Fall River Massachusetts. The tugboat name was the Baltic it was the old Philadelphia city tugboat
@@29boilersunderthesea99 probably, because it was visually identical 2 twice a v-8 71. .... except it was massive... probably close to 5 ft tall.... I was pretty young and all I remember is it looks like a 871 but twice as long and twice as tall
@@zenolachance1181 yy I know the large detroits are just 2 of the smaller ones bolted together but it seems to large for 71 displacement so perhaps 92 or 149
@@29boilersunderthesea99 you are probably correct in that assumption because I do remember that once they got it running it only revs up to about 1000 rpms. I am not a mechanic I was only there as a burner and welder. But the low RPM is usually a sign of a very large displacement
I think it can fit into Kentworth W900s there might be enough room might fit into some of the long nosed Peterbuilts. If not just get a stretched frame from either manufacturer and mount the engine then slide the cab and transmission back a bit and fabricate two hoods together for length and it will fit. I it will look like a "normal" semi but with a 16v71 under the hood. Oh and beef the front suspension for the weight.
