Listening To This Aluminum Block 6V53TT Detroit Diesel Turn 3,275 RPM Is Nearly Religious

Many of you out there may not recognize that there were light weight aluminum block variations of Detroit Diesels generated throughout time. These aluminum block based engines were (as we recognize) mostly for armed forces applications where weight was needed to be cut. Fortunately is that smart scrap hunters have nabbed a lot of these up for racer engines the similarity which you will certainly see in the video listed below.

From what we have actually gathered from watching other videos, the engine makes something like 400hp on regarding 20psi of boost from the twin turbos. That seems rather flashy to us, especially if the thing lands in a halfway decent light pickup with a stick!

In this video we do not get dyno numbers but we do see this little engine turn some 3,2755 RPM before the limits of everyone’s nerve were reached. The noises that this point makes at those reasonably lowly RPM degrees are remarkable. Both stroke design of the engine certainly assists the auditory side of points but it is still just some of the most mechanical music you’ll ever listen to.

We’re going to provide the man a lesson in holding his phone in the appropriate instructions the next time he fires video yet the fact is that he recorded all the sound as well as all. The sound in this video clip is actually the reward. That and maybe learning’ you a something today and my job here is done.
