As a 16 year dd parts guy i think you did a great job building this setup. You ought to get a size bigger injectors and some turbo pistons. Take care.

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.

There’s like 7 whole minutes of just pure driving. I love it

You are a great fabricator and an excellent driver. You're shifting is perfect. No clutch and no overrevving. Very enjoyable video!

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.

Turbo charging a 6-71 , I've been searching for this information and now your video just popped up on KZfaq . 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 .

It's nice to see someone who knows how to run a Detroit not trying to throw the rods before shifting

nice call on the difference on the 2 stroke and 4 stroke comparison. this is why 500cc 2 strokes raced in the same class as 1000cc 4 strokes in motogp for a year. The HP is almost the same yet the engines are very different beasts

Very cool!! Reminds me of my high school days, working construction in the summers of the mid 70's. The contractor had 3 of these he bought used and put dump beds on them. Three Detroit's warming up at 6 am getting ready to go for the day...rev'n up and down. It was like "Apocalypse Now"; love the smell of Detroit diesels warming up in the morning!! 👍👍

Finally someone who knows how to shift gears. 👍🏼👍🏼

That turbo is freakin gigantic next to that engine...I love it!

love that old scearming deamon soundgreat fiux

Finally finally someone on here that can shift a detroit without killing it.

Straight up genius right there. Master fabricator. I have a little Kubota 4wd tractor I’d love to throw a turbo on. Thanks for the entertaining video. 500 points of boost here we come!!!

Nicely done, beautiful rig! Sounds great.

awesome video great job on the swap it really woke it right up an man does it sound good !

Good job mate 👍 that's an Angry sounding old beast 🤘holy shit it looks cold over there, G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 👋

An ASMR clip of Detroit diesels would be wonderful. Could listen to this all day

Sweet video! Best I've seen with a Detroit Diesel, awesome driving!!

I have always loved these Detroit diesels, they've always fascinated me. This made me love them even more. Subbed for this!

Nice build. Consider adding a pyrometer, adding Propane or Alcohol injection with boost-variable regulator for more HP. Sounds great !

One day I will change gears like you. Perfectly shifting. Thanks for the video.

love the sound of the turbo good job installing

My Dad bought a used GMC Brigadier that had a turbo charged 6-71. Called a 6-71T and rated at 275 horse

Man that sounds great , Beautiful truck you got !

Great turbo job.. Nice truck 🚛 Nice video 👍 Thanx..

Cool truck, beautiful snow

What a nice project ! Very good job for the turbo, thanks for sharing 😊🇨🇦

reminds me of the thousands of hours hearing a 6v92.it seems we have a similar driving style.no need to get in a hurry & rev the piss out of it for no good reason other than a good hill.hills & small detroits with no momentum makes for a long slow ride.even with momentum i climbed many a hill on the low side of the tranny.a few of them i was down to 3rd in a 9 speed.

Sound awesome. I love that old sound of the V6-71 Detroit diesel. I also remember some of autocar trucks had that too but with out the turbo.

I just came across your channel that's super cool when I was young the first truck I learned to drive in was an Old Mack duplex 3x5 the second was a straight 10 international loadstar with the 6v71 the other truck we had that I got to drive was an 8v 71 I believe also with a 3x5 mind you these for all grain trucks but I learned to drive that Mack at 8 years old the first time I drove a strike 10 I didn't know where the second shifter was lol cool videos though and I'm going to watch more of them

Sounds so sweet ! Well done 👍

Pretty cool vid. Love when a Detriot gets some love.

Nice job Kurtis,keep it up and keep the videos coming

that was superrrr awsome !!! i got really enjoyed of ur done👌

That thing sounds freaking sweet

Love it! You’re making me wanna turbo my 6-71 sawmill engine.

I agree that it’s both a somewhat pointless but completely awesome undertaking. This might just have to be phase 2 of my build- I’m putting a 6-71 into a Loadstar right now. Great work, love the truck.

Thank you for the video, well done

Sounds pretty sweet. Great job.

Good gear floating, a lot of drivers these days can't change gears. Detroit two stokes always sound good.

Excellent, dude excellent, thank you.

Super cool truck, Kurtis.

Great job man

Totally awsome, that's what a truck should sound like.

Very nice job.

SCREAMING DETROIT !!! If that doesn't get your heart pumping you need to check for a pulse. Music to the ears!👍👍👍

Great job!! impressing!👍👍👍👍👏💪💪💪💪

Sounds pretty good!

Good going on the tutbo install! I'm going to be doing the same on my 4-71

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.

That is awesome i love them 2 cycle detroit.

Nice Job driving/shifting

sounds great !!

Innovation station. Nice job

Dude that is bad ass

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

Sounds smooth

Yo no hablo su idioma inglés,pero si algun dia algun amigo suyo le traduce esto que le escribo,Que excelente 👌 😉 😁 😊 👍 es ver a personas expertas haciendo estos trabajos técnicos y que parece que toda persona que tuviera este percance,pues lo haría parecido,una reparación completa del problema,si tuviera camiones de mi propiedad,de inmediato me contactarla con este Señor y se convertiria en mi mecánico personal,que destrezas para completar satisfactoriamente este trabajo con el Turbo,el alimentador de lubricante para el Turbo,su inyección de refrescar el aire comprimido del Turbo,las añadiduras que son accesorios imprescindibles del mismo Turbo como sus respectivas juntas que con silicone rojo se le unta y queda mejor adherida las juntas de calor por donde va a pasar la combustión generada por el motor Detroit diésel y lo profesional que queda ese tubo de escape y ese sonido del Turbo,que nítido y espectacular se olle,esos Detroit Diésel con lo llamado "Screaming"(sonido peculiar de todos estos motores Detroit ⛽ diésel),en hora buena,creo,me gustan ver estos videos y no me canso de verlos,soy un avido entusiasta de todos estos videos,me fascina verlos y siempre que pueda así lo haré,Bendiciones.

It don't get any beter than the sound of a Detroit diesel and a turbo.

Well I would have bet you couldn’t have done this. I’m new to your channel. Nice job! Your door ID on the truck says New York but your accent says maybe Wisconsin? Well anyway you have a new subscriber.

cool old truck need to fix tac and or speedometer. love old trucks still puffing smoke

I love the 671 sound over all the detroits

Very cool 😎

nothing better than a detroit corn binder upgrade.

Nice work!! 👌 Always loved the sound of the old Detroit 2 stroke diesels. Do you have any plans of putting an intercooler later on? Not sure if would be that necessary since boost is fairly low.

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.

Very good!

I love this and dude you look just like my son LOL

Awesome!

Hey man...im in New zealand,,,tomorrow I start heading down to christchurch to pick up a 6v53 alloy block turbo I've been gifted,,,dont know what its going in yet,,,time will tell,,, woohoo

That’s how you drive a Detroit! Sound so sweet! You don’t have to be raping the dam engine while going through the gears.

SWEET 🚜🦅

hes not even moving, this is bs. You can tell by his speed and tachometer!....JK, great video my brother, the driving is awesome, such great views. Stay safe

that runs sweet

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!!

Somebody find this boy a jake head...he’ll be set for sure then! Lol..

I like it 👌

Have you straightened out the steering wheel yet? That would drive me crazy. ;)

Perfect

Check out GMs model 6121T they were set up with a intercooler and s90 injectors to accommodate the 4valve heads.

You should make more videos of this truck, but with more engine reving and on-board videos but at full RPMs.

International M series truck. . .father of Paystar 5000.

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.

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

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.

Cool 😎

big fat spinny bois puts big fat smiles on my face

Nice. Not bad for a home brewed project for shits and giggles. 👌🙂👍

I see it now international

Great shifting but anyone else notice that the Tach & Speedo are always reading 0 regardless of the ENG rpm or ground speed?

Reminds me of my 1st truck. Looking for small parcel of land,up your way.....I live near rochester. Any available?

A ride along is in order!

Blower don’t add horsepower it’s just there to help with the scavenging process it won’t run right or not at all without the blower

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.

Nice job, I hope the turbo hanging off the manifold doesn't break it.

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

Might need to support that turbo, thats alot of weight on that manifold.

really cool. turbo whistle is always good. from what i have been reading the non-turbo piston will hold up to the turbo. They don't have very high compression to begin with. Sounds like you are running it at very low RPM as well, that will help. do you know what year your engine is?

My 6v92 puts out 23 pounds of boost. You should be able to run about 10 pounds without problems
