2 Stroke Gm Detroit Diesel History Forum Historic In this video, i find out will it start and drive on this 60yr old kenworth w924 semi truck that has been sitting for years. this is the second will it start. I'm currently contemplating starting a new project vehicle and was wondering about possibly using a 2 stroke detroit diesel as the power plant, i think that they are some of the best sounding engines (from the little that i've heard).
Anybody Running A 2 Stroke Detroit Diesel In Anything Rods N Sods In this video, i see if i can get this old 2 stroke detroit diesel powered kenworth rfw 6x6 offroad garbage truck running after it was retired and had been sitting in this yard for. The truck in the op is likely powered by a detroit diesel. all 2 stroke diesels are supercharged as they have to be to run. they have intake ports in the cylinders with exhaust valves in the heads. they can be turbocharged on top of that. screaming detroits used to be a common sound years ago in semis and other heavy trucks. The detroit diesel 8v92 is a v 8, two stroke diesel engine, which boasts a displacement of 738 cubic inches or 12.1 liters. launched in the 1980s. the series 92 engines were an instant hit, as they boasted several applications, the most prominent of which was buses. As a two stroke diesel engine that does not use crankcase aspiration cannot naturally aspirate (i.e., draw in) combustion air, the blower is inherently necessary to charge the cylinders with air for combustion. the blower also assists in scavenging spent combustion gasses at the end of the power stroke.

I don't know if the 92's are like our 72 for starting, not the greatest engine to start when its cold out. but it needs to be plugged in for a hour or two (just to take the chill out) when it starts to freeze at night during harvest time. i tell guys, if you walk by it in the summer time with a ice cream cone you better plug it in to start it. In regard to power versus similar sized engines i don't think they had much more. take the 440 johne deere. with a gas engine 113 cubic inches it put out 31 horsepower at 2000 rpm. a 440 with a supercharged 2 stroke cycle detroit diesel with 106 cubic inches put out 32.5 horsepower at 1800 rpm. You are missing an important part. they didn’t decide to boost their 2 cycle. a detroit diesel (jimmy) will not and cannot run without a blower. it’s only means of getting an intake charge due to the design is a positive pressure crank driven supercharger. why do they call the blowers 6 71 or 8 71 or 3 53 etc?.
