The Detroit Diesel 8V92 Naturally Aspirated (Non-Turbo) engine is a V8, two-stroke workhorse built for performance and simplicity. As part of the 92 Series lineup, the 8V92 NA uses a Roots-style blower to deliver fresh intake air through ports in the cylinder wall—without the added complexity of a turbocharger. With 736 cubic inches (12.05 liters) of total displacement, this engine delivers strong low-end torque and dependable power in marine, industrial, and military applications where uptime and serviceability are critical. The 8V92 NA remains in operation around the world due to its rugged mechanical design, ease of maintenance, and long-lasting parts availability—especially when supported by trusted suppliers like Diesel Pro Power. Specification Value Configuration V8, two-stroke diesel Displacement 736 cu in (12.05 liters) Bore x Stroke 4.84 in x 5.00 in Aspiration Naturally Aspirated (Blower Only) Horsepower 350–450 HP @ 2,100 RPM Torque 950–1,100 lb-ft Fuel System Mechanical unit injectors Cooling System Water-cooled Oil Capacity ~28–32 quarts Dry Weight ~2,500–2,700 lbs (varies by setup) Valves per Cylinder 4 exhaust valves Blower Type Roots-style gear-driven air scavenging Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines like the 8V92 NA do not use intake valves—air enters via ports in the cylinder wall, pressurized by the blower. The cylinder head includes only exhaust valves, contributing to simpler airflow and fewer moving parts. Simplified Design: No turbocharger, intercooler, or boost plumbing—fewer failure points All-Mechanical System: Runs without electronics or diagnostics; fully field-serviceable Consistent Low-End Torque: Ideal for continuous-duty applications Lower Operating Costs: Easy to maintain, rebuild, and repair Long Service Life: Proven platform in military, marine, and industrial sectors Whether you’re powering a workboat, generator, or oilfield skid, the 8V92 NA is built to run hard and run long. Bilge and Fire Pump Drives Marine Generator Sets (Auxiliary Power) Deck Winches and Hydraulic Power Units Utility Trawlers and Support Boats Naturally aspirated 8V92 engines are favored in marine systems that prioritize dependability and ease of access. Water Pumps and Air Compressors Stationary Generators and Welding Units Oilfield Power Systems Construction Equipment (Graders, Loaders, Skid Units) The 8V92 NA’s robust architecture and high torque output make it ideal for off-highway and remote work sites. Tactical Generator Trailers De-Watering and Fuel Transfer Systems Tracked Utility and Cargo Vehicles Mobile Hydraulics and Logistics Equipment Its fully mechanical design and extreme durability have made the 8V92 NA a mainstay in military and disaster-response roles.
