As a diesel mechanic with 35+ years experience that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. As a hot rod guy that’s the baddest engine on the planet. You guys are gathering Stardust.
Fantastic ! The overture of ICE engines. Back in the 60's I always tuned my Villiers engines so I could get to 70 ( ish ). Please send a copy of the video to grumpy Thunberg. She desperately needs some happiness in her life. Thanks a lot, Colin UK 🇬🇧
Just found this channel. These guys are going to be fun to watch. Its like a combination of one guy where everything has to be done properly and by the book and the other guy where its she'll be right rough enough is good enough. Those two together always ends up entertaining, either that or one kills the other haha.
Now that I’ve watched to the end and am very impressed with all the work and I know why. Not because they said can’t be done but because you need more control and pressures that can’t be developed with a Detroit pump. Lots and lots of brainstorming. I think I’d have been over by the single polishing pieces and quietly satisfying myself. 60’s and Allison’s were my main experience. Since a child though I watched those 2 stroke techs build these top to bottom. 53 to 149.. even saw a 6/110 being built. I was allowed to dabble in them when the shop was quiet and it was pure joy and fascination to watch them. The group had all worked together since the mid 70’s. 3 of them back to 66 at the same Harper shop. A few still had the passion you show but all were the best. RIP to some including my brother. Cheers!
Good video, I like all the real problems being diagnosed and resolved. A real as it happens video, not the usual YT videos of peoples fitting all new stuff designed to fit the engine in question. This is how it happens in R&D in real life. I await the next instalment as I know you guys will resolve this. All the best
Yep, you guys are definitely giving me the inspiration to common rail my 6v-92 for my custom application. I wanted to do it. I knew it could be done. But seeing someone else do it successfully drives me to get to working on it. Great video guys 👍🏻
As a third generation hotrod builder, and as a kid who grew up around trucks with these motors, this is certainly one of the more impressive modifications I've seen done to ANY engine let alone a detroit 92 series. This was a pleasure to watch, just hope it brings enough smiles per gallon to be worth all your effort
Everything you could want in one video, Detroits, comedy and custom fabrication. Great to see someone slamming the 21st century into one of these old girls!😎
It sounds wicked. Happy to see you are back Wayne. A common rail 6v53T married to a Eaton 10spd in a OBS F350 CC Doooooly or Chevy Square Body 3+3 Dooooly would be choice.
Now that's old school and new school working together. It sounds amazing. I would love to see that truck running after the work is done. I'll bet its gonna kick some ass.
Very impressive project! I love your idea of using common rail on this 2-stroke. Working for Cat I really liked the idea of common rail when it came out and love seeing someone work with it in a custom setup like this. Looking forward for your following videos. The run-test at the end is great! Love how quick and responsive it is. Once the low idle surge is smoothed out that will be perfect. Amazing project!
Now that's way cool!! I always wondered how a Detroit 2 stroke diesel would work with electronic common rail. I'd love to see someone do that to a 671. Nice work guys!! 🏆🥇🎖🏅
Awesome project, coming from a Detroit lover, and guy who's no fan of common rail systems. Seen too many failures to want it in a daily driver work truck, but they are absolutely the answer to making more power going forward. You can buy a 500 hp/1200 lb ft factory Powerstroke now. It'll be cool to see what y'all can work this one up to in the future. Subscribed.
I got an 8v92 2 stroke silver turbo. I fill and run BRP-XD-100 etec 2 stroke oil 6 gallons. I let’s some off the side with a mixing valve I plumbed in to dripped in the fuel inlet line. Tge built in gear VRO pump feeds it and I just add more. I might give E-85 a try next but she’s running cooler, cleaner and quieter on the synthetic 2 stroke oil I get from wall mart. Detroits and emd 2 stroke run on very hard 4340 chrome moly steel cranks and anti friction bearings
I'm glad someone decided to do this and actually post some detailed information on it the last time someone put common rail on a detroit it was some european truck pulling team with a 12v92, they posted a few videos, next to no detailed information and gave up because they kept bending crankshafts Thanks so much jason His solution to the rapid injection rate is kind of clever, I knew that getting a Detroit to high rpm would be hard due to the need for twice as many injection events as a four stroke diesel, but I never imagined you would need two ECMs to do it. Also didnt think a d max injector could work and was expecting some off the wall custom injector to need to be built for this sort of conversion one last thing, jason should really put a big fat intercooled whipple on his 8v92, esp if hes running it at 4k rpm, roots blowers have lousy efficiency at high rpm, we are talking a 50% efficiency difference between a whipple and roots here, its probably killing his HP potential th-cam.com/video/rJ6TGS0Edm8/w-d-xo.html
The blower is just a big HP drag and heat pump. The current setup on the truck bypasses the blower under high boost. I think the reason they didn't have success with the v12 was the application. They were limited on rpm and needed to make big power down low which these engines don't do well. Also the way their sled pull trucks are set up, they use those monster V tread tires so at the end of the track when the sled drags it down, they don't really spin. You can hear in the video it is getting bogged down at full fuel/boost probably in the neighborhood of 2500 rpm or less. In the class of racing I participate in, there is no rpm limit so I'm hoping we will have more success. I fully expect to end up bending the rods at some point, but I think there is still some potential left in the engine over and above the current fuel level with mechanical injectors.
@@Moose_338 yes, but at high rpm it introduces losses and inefficiencies regardless if it provides boost or not and besides, you dont want boost pressure, you want manifold air density you can have air at 60PSI going into your engine but if it is really hot you dont really have much air molocuels in a given space then normal pressure ait at a lower temperature, this is why intercooling is important The air density is important, a roots blower, regardless if you have a bypass for it or not, will introduce a lot of heat and thus low density air, into your engines intake manifold. So you may as well do it right, use a screw type supercharger with an aftercooler for high manifold air density which at idle will give you better scavenging that consumes less fuel per unit of air moved
@@theq4602 The truck engine has twin full bypasses that go directly into the airbox, additionally, I've fitted it with twin water/air ICs with an ice water tank. The blower is still there as it needs it to start, but after 20 psi or so its not really doing much other than freewheeling, and airbox/turbo boost pressure is equalized.
I subscribed on How Dare You! LOL, AND I don't even own a diesel. Only drove 1 semi in my life back in 87, was an 85 GMC Cabover with a Silver 92 if I remember correctly.
Love the common rail system on my 8V-92 in my boat, in fact, two sets lol when you can confirm you've successfully man the system and are going to market with them
Maaan that sounds wicked at the end! I had a momentary fantasy of that in the daily work mule… That’d make the work day a lot more fun… probably less profitable… but way more fun!!
Thanks to the EPA, no OEM would ever attempt this, but thanks to you guys we can actually see it. Modern injection tech without all the aftertreatment bs, as it should've been
Take an 8V92 and source the common rail fuel gear and ECU from a marine MAN or MTU engine and graft it to the Detroit. Marine engines similar in capacity to the 8V92 are already specd at approx 800-1200hp so could give even more scope for bigger hp gains.
Good to see you again!!👍 Poor Greta, her book flops, diesel,skateboards, straight pipe Volvo's, and now a common rail 2 stroke Detroit! She may never recover lol. Awesome vid. That is one cool project can't wait till it gets dialed in👍
I've been VERY curious to know what a 2 stroke could do with a modern fuel system. Was temped to buy a little 4 or 6 71 from just something to have in the barn to play with when I get 'spare time'....
Holy Jesus! That's some effort, time, and enough money I don't even want to know haha. Impressive and can't wait to see after it's tuned and installed. I grew up not far from there, Barnhart is NOT the middle of nowhere...that's just down the road from where I'm at now.. LoL
Very unique build. I normally don't care for electronic diesels, but this is cool. I'm curious the power potential difference over the mechanical system. Especially with the ability to freely adjust timing and fuel on the fly, without having to worry about the governor defueling at high rpm. With this, you even have the potential to add an injector and pilot flame to the exhaust manifolds and program in an anti lag system.
These injectors will flow more than 2x the fuel of the current mechanical injectors, so theoretically we should be able to make 2x the power. That's not to say the engine will handle that kind of power, but I think there is certainly room to go before rods give out.
This is going to be interesting. Is it DDEC based? I've been interested in updating and "modernizing" the late 8V92, with higher speed blowers, blower bypasses, external air to air intercoolers, and modern turbochargers (including variable geometry/variable vane), or twin, smaller but more efficient turbochargers (mounted to the manifolds because exhaust heat = efficiency in turbochargers). I'd like to see what kind of power and efficiency can be gotten from one of the old engines. There are advances in camshafts, valves, etc. Not to mention what can be achieved with modern pistons, piston rings, and materials in cylinder sleeves. The extreme cast iron, or compacted graphite would make great cylinders, along with coatings, and the new modern hone techniques, with diamond and CBN abrasives. The new titanium nitride coated steel rings are amazing. And the new piston forgings and machining. An 8V92 TAB with 19:1 compression, trick turbochargers and internals, and a good aftermarket air to air intercooler, with common rail, and/or DDEC IV control should make an easy 750HP, with big torque numbers, 1850 ft/lb or better, at 1400 RPM, or maybe as low as 1250..
I'd be most interested to see how a smaller version of EMD's gear driven turbocharger would do on Detroits, it's worked out very well on their large locomotive, marine and stationary engines for decades. If you're not familiar with this design the turbo is connected to the engine's geartrain with an overrunning clutch, which keeps the turbo spinning fast enough to force air into the engine at idle or low throttle settings while also allowing exhaust pressure to take over at high throttle. The clutch disengages once there is enough exhaust to get the turbo spinning faster than the geartrain.
ditch the roots blower while you're at it and get a screw type, banks performance did a video on why roots blowers at high rpm add alot of heat to the intake air and kill manifold air density, while a whipple supercharger is more efficient at higher rpm th-cam.com/video/rJ6TGS0Edm8/w-d-xo.html
@@bobsmith2637 centrifugal superchargers have lag off idle, you have the worst of both worlds centrifugal supers are great for tuned at rpm performance, but along a wide powerband they leave much to be desired due to how compressor maps work
that is awesome, might need to consider upgrading the ex valve springs to stop the high rpm valve float which it what eventually makes the rpms stop climbing :)
Remember folks guys like these dudes is what keeps America great
Agree
🤟🤟🤟
Nonono. Only LGBTQ+ black democracy keeps America great.
Hell yea. 🇺🇸
I probably don’t agree with you guys in a lot of shit but what makes America great is the amount of access he has to stuff to be able to do this.
As a diesel mechanic with 35+ years experience that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. As a hot rod guy that’s the baddest engine on the planet. You guys are gathering Stardust.
I was thinking the same thing as a former trucker and an old hot rodder too. It looks and sounds so beautiful!
I admire the amount of ingenuity that went into that common rail system , it’s going to be impressive to see the results in the truck 👍🏽
I'm excited!
I can't wait I can't tell you how much I've missed this channel
Preciate that man! It's Friday night btw!! I clicked the wrong shit at first.

Me either!!
Especially the GM 16-567!
Amazing how much work you've put into this project. Can't wait to see it in action in the truck!
Me either!!
the ONLY channel i feel in a safe zone to crack a beer just after breakfast and watch.

I love this idea. Taking awesome stout old diesels but just sprinkling a little bit of good modern parts on them to bring them up to date. Love it!
Been following progress on the Detroit Diesel page. So pumped to see you post a video of it running.
This is gonna be super cool to see working in the truck! Glad you’re back Wayne, this awesome stuff.
Thanks!
Can't wait to see it in Onaway, keeps getting better every year.

Right on boys, would love to see more on this as he comes a long with it. There’s a lot of potential with that setup.
I think so too I can't wait!
Neat Video Wayne, can’t wait to see the truck run. Definitely got a good chuckle at Greta 😂
That is crazy cool, fabrication at its finest, old world meets the 2000's

Aw man, a stuttering 892 and pop the clutch. 4 G-notes crossing the finish line....WOO! ! ! !
I can't wait!
ok thats the coolest thing ive seen this week. Awesome to see an old 2 stroke with modern controls on it.

Awesome video & educational Thx
Super job i think the common rail is the king
wanted to try this with a 6v53 for about half a decade
Good to see you Wayne, missed your stuff. Good video
Thanks man!
Try feeding the fuel in the middle of the fuel rail instead from one end. I would think that would even out distribution of fuel. Love this stuff.
This is going to be an eye opener! Nice work!
Nice job, very well done.
Man this is cool. I can't wait to see it running in the truck.
I love 2 stroke Detroits!!! You have a new subscriber....

An 8V92 TAB with 19:1 compression, trick turbochargers and internals, and a good aftermarket air to air intercooler, with common rail, and/or DDEC IV control should make an easy 750HP, with big torque numbers, 1850 ft/lb or better, at 1400 RPM, or maybe as low as 1250..
