Turbo charging a 6-71 , I've been searching for this information and now your video just popped up on KZbin . AWESOME VIDEO Kurtis , Thank you sir for an excellent video . A 6-71 is in my future for sure and yes it'll be turbo charged . I worked on the welded rail trains on Union Pacific Railroad and operated the power cars that had two 6-71's that were mounted up top by the operators cab . Engines were mounted with the rear closest to the cab and had sucker fans blowing back my way over the engine and three big hydraulic pumps . In the south around Arkansas , Texas , Oklahoma , Louisiana and the other hot states it was really tough in the heat but helped a little in the cold weather . Start both engines , idle and engage the clutch drive slowly to get the pumps working to heat the hydraulic oil and then open the throttle wide open . Twin 6-71's screaming all day was heaven , Love their sound , finally had to route the exhaust under the rail cars as it got bad . I can identify a screaming old Detroit Diesel from far away . Such a sweet sound . I'll be a subscriber for as long as I live . Can't wait to watch your previous videos and future videos . Great video sir .

You sure know what you are doing. On the Turbocharger. My father did Diesel Repair work, of all types. From 1965-2000. He likes being fully retired in 2020.

[@jasoncolavecchia8884]

One plus to turbocharging these engines, even at low pressures, is much better performance at higher elevations. Regardless of ambient air pressure, the turbo will maintain optimum psi in the manifold as you climb or decend grades in mountain areas.

[@kurtisgleba3121]

Very true. My theory exactly. Thanks

[@wazza33racer]

that turbo will work..........however it will be lag and not make much boost. Its not so much about cubic inches, its about horsepower...........a 200hp engine needs a turbo that is for 200hp. The other issue is that cummin's turbo is very LARGE for the application and makes the fitting more difficult. Especially since you can get good cheap turbos from Alibaba Congrats on keeping a classic truck running, thanks for the video and that super glorious sound! There is one upside to low boost............the air temps are very low compared to higher boost that cooks the air (which reduces density/effectiveness). When running 2 compressors ( turbo feeding a blower) for high performance, they use an inter cooler. The biggest plus is that the turbo works best at giving the blower more air when the blower is dropping off at low rpm pulling.

[@kurtisgleba3121]

Thank you for you comment and advice. Yes that was my main goal was to be more like a ram air intake than a turbo pressure. I figured giving the blower a few lbs of positive pressure would help it too and can't beat the sound! I think I have about $100 in the entire project so for the price it was a lot of fun to do. It did in deed give it a bit more power. I used a brass water check valve for a blow off. It keeps boost around 8 psi at full load. I'll be doing a follow up video on it shortly so stay tuned!

that was called a 6121T detroit used on navy small boats

[@Tchristman100]

When comparing to a 4 stroke, the 71 series has a bore of 4.25" and stroke of 5.00". But not all of the stroke is used for power. The exhaust valves open just before the cylinder ports are exposed so to figure usable cubic inch, most have .95" ports, and the exhaust valve open just before that, so you take off about 1.1" off the stroke and you end up with a stroke of 3.9". So 4.25 ÷2 = 2.125 x 2.125 = 4.515 x 3.1416 = 14.184 x 3.9 = 55.317 x 6 cylinder x 2 stroke = 663.8 actual cu/in compared to 4 stroke. So a turbo from a L10 would be more usable. I turbo'd and air to air intercooled my 8V-71 with bypass blower. With original N65 injectors with 300hp and 800lb/ft torque, then with 7G75 injectors it went to 375hp and 1,125lb/ft torque. REALLY wakes up the engine.

[@kurtisgleba3121]

Very good point. I never thought about it like that. What do you think about a turbo from a 478 cu/in diesel 4 stroke? I may possibly compound turbo this engine with that turbo and the one thats on it. The other turbo is off of a m35a2 army truck. 3.5 inch exhaust outlet. Think that turbo is too small?

[@CJohnT]

I love the sound of the DD. Nice job on the gears and fabricating the turbo. I have one question though, to me it looked like the cast iron piece that connected the exhaust pipe to the manifold could be removed and install the turbo in its place. The intake on the supercharger would have to be changed to accommodate the turbo. It looked like the they made that adapter based on the size of the turbo. My dad drove a 67 International 4000 CO, my uncle had an Oliver 1900, so I grew up enjoying the 2 stroke. I now drive a 76 Ford F250 repowered with a 4-53T Detroit, loving every minute of it.

[@kurtisgleba3121]

I thought the same thing but that manifold flange was way bigger than the turbo one. So i dont think thats the case on that

[@Lotek117]

You should turn up the fuel pressure a little bit to compensate for the added boost leaning out the mixture, i know its not much but still couldnt hurt and might gain a tiny bit of power and safety.

Great build, you have a good communication style and explain your thoughts well. '77 Gillig bus with an 855 Cummins first generation and a Fuller 5 speed. What should my RPM's be for shifting up? I can float the gears but the trans acts like there's no synchros in it when I try to use the clutch. Double clutching doesn't help. I'm wondering if I'm not bringing the revs up high enough. Beautiful old bus still all original except motorhomeized but done to preserve the original look. I'm wondering if I'm looking at building the transmission or am I not doing it correctly.

[@kurtisgleba3121]

Thank you. So the less number of gears you have the higher you need to bring rpms up to shift. On something like a 10 speed or 18 speed you'd shift just over idle. Just grab another one right after the other. A 5 speed the gears are farther apart so id say youd get it up to 15 to 1800 rpm to shift. Cat and Cummins you wait longer in between gears it takes longer for the engine to slow. Especially on a 5 speed. It will take a long time for engine to slow to speed of next gear. A Detroit on other hand shifts really fast. You almost cant get it in the next gear fast enough LoL. Caterpillar is the smoothest shifting in my opinion. Of course everything i just told you is based off level ground and empty weight. Taking off loaded or uphill you rev engine higer and

[@kurtisgleba3121]

@@akawireguy1197 yea im assuming a bus transmission would be synchronized. I had an m35a2 army truck with a 5 speed. All gears had syncros except 1st and reverse.

[@pete-mate3524]

Awesome video! I'm quickly falling in love with the ol' Detroits. Great fabrication job, too. However, I am wondering, there is a hose attached to the blower pick-up pipe. Is that the intake hose for the compressor, or the 'vent' for the crankcase / engine breather? If it's the crankcase breather, you might want to move it to somewhere before the turbo. Otherwise, you're directing turbo boost into the engine as well. This video was made about 6 months ago, so I'm sure you've sorted it out by now! Ha ha!! Good job!!

[@kurtisgleba3121]

Thanks for the comment! Yes the Detroit is a great reliable engine. A bit underpowered but always gets the job done. That hose is for the air compressor intake. Why not give that some boost too! The turbo made a huge difference on fuel economy and overall performance.

make sure you take the crank case breather tube off the blower intake of your filling the block full of pressure

[@kurtisgleba3121]

That tube is the Air compressor intake. The breather tube comes down off of the governor housing. Thanks

Small turbo with properly set wastegate and BOV and you can run it with na pistons just to help up hills and with altitude, they called in an anti-smoke turbo. That truck is so ugly it's cute.

I don't know what kind of truck that is or what type of transmission but you shift it so smoothly not a single grind
