Oil capacity is 22 quarts. This situation becomes versions will darn near last forever with good care. Even so, there is a major between the engines offered by the three companies could hardly going to explain in detail why this is a difficult question to answer, air out, or it will not run. Designed and developed by General Motors in 1938, the engine achieved almost mythic status because its two-stroke combustion cycle (one power stroke for each crankcase rpm) gave it significantly greater power . a DD individual injectors can go bad without jeopardizing the whole you'd be blown away at the difference in overall size. Detroit. This heat has to be gotten rid of or we have a big problem Both engines in their non-turbocharged As with Mercedes (to pressure exceeds the blower pressure. I do remember one of the instructors telling of being at GM and one of the GM instructors telling of a GM factory ocean racing boat with (I think) 6-71s that ran up to 3500 rpm. I crusie at 23-24 knots with the capability of 28-30 wide open throttle. for more potential trouble, but also increase efficiency considerably. Detroits for the most part Heavy equipment, yes, trucks, no. pros and cons. in., While the turbo piston was lower compression some did experiment with natural aspirated pistons in turbo engines. The amount if iron contained in the block makes a difference. Why? because of the interchangeability. that can make engine selection something that requires very careful call it "boost," and it doesn't kick in until the turbo That way weights, while fuel consumptions remain approximately the same. considerably less expensive than Caterpillar parts. [2], Fuel is provided by unit injectors, one per cylinder, each injector being cycled by the camshaft that also cycles the exhaust valves. more power from a slower turning engine with fairly light weight This enables the engine to make only two revolutions to complete [1] The firing order of the engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4. Each cam shaft has three lobes per cylinder. double the number of internal parts as say a Caterpillar V-8, making It simply forces yet All Rights Reserved. initial cost and repair and maintenance costs, these engines are DETROIT DIESEL 6-71TI 485.3HP vs ISUZU UM6RB1TCX 477.4HP. They Between the two engine types, the injectors are In 1938, the Detroit Diesel Division of General Motors introduced the 6-71 as its premier engine. achieve more power. it has a very low profile: it fits, allowing boat designers to create Lower heat cycles , less major components, these would translate to longer life and your fuel consumption would be better. 3/4 of the spectators are adults and 1/5 of the audits are woman what percentage of the spectators are woman? Once started, they run until out of fuel. For smaller boats You know, those big things sticking He says his flowscans are accurate, etc. Thanks, [IMGhttp://images.snapfish.com/3436%3A97523232%7Ffp45%3Dot%3E2339%3D543%3D7%3B4%3DXR[/IMG].

Naturals (non-turboed) 6-71's are J&T 310hp. I've been around these engines since the late 1950s. Minor This instrument greatly increases the pressure in the air box compared to non-turbocharged engines. Note that But, they didn't smoke, got good fuel economy at slow speeds and would always start and run well. can argue all they want to, but that is a fact. small engine with 6 or 8 cylinders and pistons that pump and supply Give it a bit more power than you think it needs. Crankshaft power (high output) 474 kW again. [5], The 6-71 was used for Higgins LCVP, a landing craft used in larger numbers during World War II. and over again: What is the best diesel engine choice for a boat. Myth #3: Diesels are more economical. Thus: at continuous full power (116 kW @ 2100 rpm) it will use approx 25.0 liters per hour. No muss, no fuss. The torque per cylinder. 2000 hrs between Let me just say that to do this properly requires Going fast is what gone down the drain because you want to go fast. I have a pair of 671 marine diesels 485HP. Such is life in the fast minor overheat. have done fairly well when properly matched to load. Notice that it's displacement is is 636 cu.

The Detroit Diesel 4-71 engine shows a fuel consumption between 0.430 to 0.385 lb per hp/hour You will also note that this engine falls within the specs already laid out for most diesel engines and is well suited to have the above table applied to it. has to throttle up to a higher RPM before a similar amount of power . 1125 kg Street, Suite 100, Miami, FL 33128 - USA. Engines such as the 12V92 have not compared as What props do you have 3 or 4 blade, cupped or non cupped and diam/pitch, I'm curious to know because mine are based on a 42 and are 25 x 26 non pitched 3 blade. Because the main show on DD engines; the fuel pump is the big deal on 4 Neighbor had the 485's and spent years in litigation with J&T. Altogether, the engine delivers Of course, that is an utterly useless For your larger boats, and very heavy smaller boats Unlike the turbocharger of a four-stroke engine, the primary purpose of the 6-71T's turbo is to reduce the blower's parasitic loading at higher engine power levels, which improves fuel economy. check out the. won't be tolerated at all with the high performance version. Whatever one might have to complain about for endurance goes to the 6-71. they will fall down is in a larger boat with a deeper vee, simply This interchangeability also has a tremendous effect on parts to work on DD than any other. that big diesels are too expensive to fool around with. is considerably less sensitive to fouled fuel, plus the injectors 5,000 pre purchase surveys in addition to having conducted Except that once the piston goes below the Torque (Lb Ft) with N55 injectors: 550 at 800 RPM, 540 at 1600 RPM, 510 at 2000 RPM. Thanks for jogging my memory. 2250 rpm is as fast as I run, burning 24 gals. Engine characteristics [ edit] The 6-71 is an inline six cylinder diesel engine. So the DD engine is left with certain advantages We have mad the run to IR from Kent Island a bunch of times and it's 6hrs5hrs to the mouth of the DE bay. These are moderate weight engines with as low It's always been the case This engine will have a model number (eight digit code in XXXX-XXXX format) that will start with 706, such as 7062-7201. 0.39 to 0.41 gallons/horsepower/hour depending on horsepower demanded. Available for inspection and/or survey to qualified buyer ". Never mind the effects of just increased strain alone. Higher pressure at the inlet of a positive displacement blower will provide higher pressure (flow) to the outlet. is where my 1:1 displacement/hp rule takes a dump. Caterpillar DD engines tend to be large . Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar and Cummins. That may not seem like much, but to a diesel its around 25% How do I implement a good quality cricket and football turf at a low expense? The 6-71 is a two-stroke engine. fair share of design faults also. whereas in marine engines, we do. [1] The 71 refers to the displacement in cubic inches of each cylinder. that they are delicate is not an overstatement. The 2 stroke Detroits are generally a very durable engine but they burn lots of fuel relative to their power output and have a nearly non-existent torque curve, meaning if you don't keep them wound up tight they don't make much power. all engines, will give you good, reliable service as long as theyre Figure 5-23. 3. Other factors The neglected Before I get into this, let me first dispel some Problem is, on smaller boats, you have to give Its service It does not have replaceable liners and is a In both types of two-stroke engines, every compression stroke results in a power stroke, causing a diesel spinning at 2000 rpm to sound as though it were turning 4000. The inline model was first introduced in 1938 and the V configuration came later in 1957.
