1977 Detroit Diesel 6V53T - First Run With Turbocharger Installed - 1-08-2011

This is the first run of my General Motors / Detroit Diesel 6V53T with the turbocharger installed. In the process of converting my M551 Sheridan Tank engine into an automotive engine, I had to change the flywheel housing to an SAE type housing. With the new SAE #2 housing installed, I was no longer able to mount the turbocharger in its designed position. I took advantage of the accessory drive covers on the new flywheel housing and mounted my Eaton Power Steering Pump and my Bendix Westinghouse TU-FLO 501 Twin Piston Air Compressor. I extended the exhaust manifolds 10.75" so that the turbocharger cleared the accessory drives. Once the exhaust was plumbed, I plumbed the intake so that the turbocharger forced air into the blower on the engine. To keep the engine running cool, I created an open loop radiator which uses water pressure and gravity to circulate water into the water pump. With a series of valves I can bleed air bubbles, and regulate the ratio of recycled water going through the coolant system. The temperature was 27 degrees. The video started about 20 seconds after the engine started. The smoke you see is from the turbocharger. It hadnt been used after I rebuilt it, so it was covered with oil. The oil is burning off of the fins in the video. In the second video, the oil has burned off and the exhaust is clear. The engine has also not reached operating temperature in this video (165 degrees) I am very pleased with the engines performance. Enjoy the sound of 330 ...
