Quick guide to Detroit Diesel nomenclature:
First number is the number of cylinders. If it’s just a number (4, 6, etc), its an inline. If its a number followed by a V (6V, 8V, 12V, etc), its a v-whatever.

Two digits after that are the displacement in cubic inches per cylinder (53, 71, etc)

The T on the end means turbo if I’m not mistaken.

so 4-53T (the engine in question) would be an inline-4 with 53 cu in per cylinder, for 212 cu in, with a turbo hanging off the side.

For anyone wondering what makes detroit diesels cool, its the fact that they are two-strokes. 2000rpm sounds like 4000rpm. As far as I know, there are better choices for making power, but they sound awesome.

I’m a ricer who likes diesel engines.

+rep coming your way for knowing shit the rest of these putz’s don’t.

Most are better for anything, But detroits have an unmistakable sound that a man can fall in love with.

Bullshit, they’re fucking awesome for resealing your driveway and other things that you need to leak oil for.
