Actually the Turbo is gear driven from throttle 6 down, throttle 7 and 8 the exhaust drives the turbo above the gear train to produce massive power

[@deanlamberth0sbcglob]

Awesome, been between two of them on a towboat. Amazing sound

72000 volts from a 16-645 EMD MSD magneto 2 stroke is no joke! It sucks getting shocked with that voltage is no joke!

[@mrlickalotopuss3761]

I spent years with the engines on offshore drilling rigs, my ears are finished.

[@GearheadExplorer85]

Yeah I can imagine those engines can jack up your hearing in pretty short order.

[@jwatt9570]

I understand brother. Many years on offshore oil rigs with all sizes of EMDS.. loved working on these machines.

What an absolute brute of an engine 💪🇺🇸,……nothing on earth like the sound of a Turbocharged EMD 645 engine,………….the sound of the mechanical Gods 👌💪👍

[@jlo13800]

Yes stay away from the 2 stroke EMD ignition system as it makes about 72000 volts and over 2 amps and it can kill you dead!

[@jlo13800]

Absolutely ground the magneto to avoid electrocution when cranking the EMD 2 stroke!

Ignition system? It's a diesel. Or am I missing something? ​@@jlo13800

@bnkwupt ahh gotcha. I'm used to seeing locomotives powered by them though some are definitely better maintained than others!

[@sujitsingh7446]

OH! Ok so it's turbo charged.

[@TheSilverShadow17]

Some 645s were actually both turbo and blown from factory, and a few had blower or a turbo. Think of their combined forced induction system as a gigantic procharger kinda. It's a 2 in 1 combination of the perks of a blower with the power of a turbo. EMD themselves pointed out this genius method of boost while keeping the engine dimensions the same. Even with a blower these engines still fall under the category of naturally aspirated as the 2 stroke design would simply fail without proper scavenging of the air.

[@HPsawus]

i think thats a centrifugal supercharger

[@slowpoke96Z28]

@@HPsawus it's technically a turbocharger. At cranking speeds, it's turbine shaft is turned mechanically through a clutched gear drive off the crankshaft, acting like a centrifugal supercharger. Once enough actual exhaust is flowing though, it acts like a normal turbocharger.

[@HPsawus]

@@slowpoke96Z28 oh wow that’s fascinating. I should’ve read the first reply before leaving mine haha. Thanks for the knowledge ✌️

[@RDC_Autosports]

it’s both, the camshaft runs it, at idle you can here it fire the injectors thru the charger why it makes that unique sound idling,(it’s speeding up and slowing down every time it fires) until it has enough exhaust velocity to spin the axial turbine wheel, manifold pressure disengages the gears. these only make a few pounds of “boost” it needs it at idle because the piston does not push the exhaust out, the blower does,along with charge the cylinder with air… 2 strokes are really a unique engine how they work but i really don’t care for them i prefer 4stroke ✌🏻

Saw these on some offshore oil rigs and a Canadian built drill ship. Very noisy, fairly reliable but with a very poor power to weight ratio.
