My brother and I were late coming home from sledding one night, and my Dad came to pick us up. He hooked the pull ropes on the sleds over the bumper guards on his 63 Corvair Monza, and towed us home. This was winter of 64. |

VW bugs have an amazing sound when they are wound up at the drag strip. But nothing says awesome engines like EMD's. Super fuel efficient, ridiculously reliable, and a sound that could make mozart shed a tear. V 16, 45 degree welded steel block, 710 cubic inches per cylinder (11360 total cubic inches), 300rpm idle, 900 max rpm, two stroke diesel  These engines have a ring of intake ports all around the bottom of their cylinders, and six exhaust valves in the head. A turbo/blower is used to scavenge the exhaust out of the cylinders. The Turbo/blower works just like your bicycle. It has an over-running clutch attached to the turbo shaft that is driven by the engine. Forced induction is necessary for these engines to operate. At start up and low engine RPM's where there isn't much exhaust blow down, the engine drives the impeller. When the engine is loaded up there is sufficient blowdown to free-wheel the turbo off the over-running clutch, it becomes a pure turbocharger. The piston comes up for compression, fuel is injected, fuel ignites forcing the piston down. When the piston is almost to the bottom of the cylinder, the six exhaust valves open and most of the exhaust rushes out...blowdown. The piston reaches the bottom of the cylinder and uncovers the ring intake ports and fresh air forces any remaining exhaust out the top of the cylinder. The exhaust valves close, and the blower finishes charging the cylinder with fresh air. The piston travels up closing the intake ports and the cycle repeats itself. This is a fantastic audio recording of an EMD firing up. It takes a while to prime the engines fuel and oil system, so skip ahead to 1:45 to hear this monster crank up, 3:10 to hear it running full bore. Just thought I would give you a little engine education  I just thought you motor heads might enjoy that. This one is just bad though. VW Baja pops the gear box on his last try up the hill at 2:30. So sad... Spider gears??? |

And...it never ceases to amaze me how durable our beloved little Type 1 engines really are...
