The Detroit Diesel 6V92 Turbocharged engine is a V6, two-stroke diesel powerplant from the high-performance 92 Series. Designed for medium-to-heavy-duty industrial, marine, and military applications, the turbocharged 6V92 combines a Roots-style blower with a turbocharger, producing outstanding horsepower and torque in a compact, serviceable package. With a displacement of 552 cubic inches (9.05 liters) and legendary Detroit Diesel two-stroke engineering, the 6V92 Turbo is known for its responsiveness, reliability, and ability to operate under high loads in rugged environments. Diesel Pro Power proudly supplies a full range of aftermarket turbo parts, rebuild kits, and components to keep your 6V92 engine running strong—backed by fast shipping and expert support. Specification Value Engine Configuration V6, two-stroke diesel Displacement 552 cu in (9.05 liters) Bore x Stroke 4.84 in x 5.00 in Aspiration Turbocharged + Roots blower Horsepower Output 300–450 HP @ 2,100–2,300 RPM Torque Output 800–1,150 lb-ft Compression Ratio ~17:1 Cooling System Water-cooled Oil Capacity ~20–24 quarts Dry Weight ~2,100–2,300 lbs (configuration dependent) Fuel System Mechanical unit injectors The 6V92 Turbo uses a turbo-blower combination to improve boost pressure, enhance combustion, and reduce fuel consumption and smoke. This setup provides quick throttle response and heavy-duty performance in mission-critical applications. Increased Horsepower: Up to 50% more output than naturally aspirated versions Superior Torque Curve: Delivers strong pulling power across RPM range Cleaner Emissions: Better combustion reduces visible smoke and improves fuel economy Excellent Power-to-Weight Ratio: Makes it suitable for confined engine compartments All-Mechanical Reliability: No electronics or sensors required—field-serviceable The turbo configuration is especially favored in environments where reliability and responsiveness under load are non-negotiable. Tugboats and Pushboats Commercial Fishing Vessels Offshore Support Vessels Pilot and Utility Boats Hydraulic Pump Systems and Marine Generators Its responsive throttle and torque-heavy design make it ideal for propulsion and auxiliary systems that must perform in harsh marine environments. Oilfield Power Units Air Compressors and Water Pumps Heavy-Duty Skid Equipment Track Loaders, Graders, and Dozers Underground Mining Equipment The 6V92 Turbo remains a go-to engine for equipment that must deliver high torque and endure heavy-duty work cycles. Armored Personnel Carriers (e.g., M113 variants) Tracked Amphibious Vehicles Tactical Transport Units Mobile Generator Sets Engineering Support and Recovery Vehicles Its robust, electronics-free design made it ideal for military platforms requiring durability, simplicity, and battlefield serviceability.
