Very Cool 1600hp V16 Detroit 2 Stroke Start Up

When it comes to diesel engines, they can do all sorts of cool things besides powering trucks. While obviously being under the hoods of heavy haulers is the most common application that you will see them in, this time, we check out a set up that is pretty unique and not one that you get to see everyday as this Detroit two stroke diesel is powering nothing other than a generator. Whatever thing this massive brute is behind has to be quite the sizable electric powerhouse because this generator is certainly overkill if you’re looking at anything else!

In this one, we take a look at the complicated sequence that has this monster firing up and uttering some pretty neat sounds that we think just about any diesel fanatic could find a way to fall love with. There’s just something about these big power engines working away and humming with that sweet sound that just seems so right, providing you with a symphony to the ears all while cracking out big power to do that job in the most efficient way possible. This time, that efficiency comes with 1600 hp and what the video uploader says over 5000 lb-ft torque!

Follow along in the video below that takes you on the scene of the startup that will really send a chill down your spine as big-time power comes to life and makes its presence felt. With this kind of a machine, there are really no limits to what one person can accomplish. Seeing the behind-the-scenes of how things work like this can sometimes be just as satisfying as seeing how the end product comes out. I’m sure that something like this would be appropriate to give a building owner a pretty good piece of mind that their investment is going to be safe and they’ll always have power!
