"Deutzenbarge" 1162ci Air Cooled Diesel V12 hotrod

The turbos really quiet that one down. The OP zoomies should bark. Hopefully it's got rear-mount blowers, feeding the inlet tubes just above the headers. Otherwise, they're like any non-forced induction diesel, turds.

Dont you enjoy the stupid music ppl keep adding to their tiktok videos? Benny Hill for the funny video, piano for sad video, old timey music for this retro hotrod, otherwise viewers have no clue what to feel

Good, reliable air cooled engine. Noted for their typical whine caused by the forced air cooling. Construction was relatively simple, a main block that housed the crankshaft and and camshaft, 12 separately mounted cylinders and cylinder heads, allowing relatively easy in frame repairs and component exchange. Besides the V - type engines, Deutz also produced inline - type engines using the same design of separate cylinders and cylinder heads.

These engines were a huge commercial succes and used in every imaginable application, ranging from civilian and military trucks, earthmoving and road building equipment, generators and many others. These air cooled diesel engines were in production from the 1940's untill the 1990's. Over 4.000.000 Deutz air cooled engines were produced.

We got an i2 variant in our tractor

joeoram87@reddit

Is it suitable for a hot rod though? This thing sounds like it should be just chugging away for weeks at a time at the same rpm. Not razing round town

[-]

Unlikely-Law-4367@reddit

No. This engine belongs in a off road truck or an excavator. A wrong choice for a hotrod.

The old saying "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

It's criminal they chose this music in the video and not raw sound

[-]

Unlikely-Law-4367@reddit

I agree 100%.

No mufflers, just shouty trumpets. That combined with the not-to-be-denied noise of the cooling blower implies that the builder isn't prioritizing subtlety.

I own a little, 3-cylinder diesel tractor from 1958. The exhaust goes straight through the hood up, with a muffler though.

Let me tell you. after a 3 hour drive even on half throttle, My left ear is ringing like crazy. I drove that tractor with a straight pipe exhaust once, didn't even make it past the town sign. wayy too noisy.

WatermelonRick@reddit

I'm always wearing ear protection when I'm driving my machines. Always

[-]

GuyFromDeathValley@reddit

I would, but my dad constantly gives me shit for wearing ear protection while driving in traffic. Because in my country, when an ambulance, fire truck or police with siren and flashers approach, we have to make room for them, always. My dad believes I can't hear an ambulance approaching from behind when wearing ear protection.

Not gonna buy another pair of ear protection for my dad to throw away. I'll take it and be done.

[-]

WatermelonRick@reddit

wow that's bullshit. Just make your dad drive with ear protection and go honk a horn behind him. Or do you think he would purposely lie to not hear it to prove a point.
Hearing is precious. Protect it

When i was in diesel school, one of my teachers would tell us about the air cooled deutz that he would rebuild when he went to live in Europe after Vietnam. He said that some German diesels would have tolerances so tight that they wouldn't use a head gasket. I thought hat was impressive.

[-]

Barbarian_818@reddit

I wonder where he got a transmission for that. The Deutz V12 engines are usually used in stationary or marine applications.i don't know if many transmissions that can handle both over a 1000 lb/ft of torque and highway speeds.

Of course, with such minimal weight to haul around, it can probably run with no gearing at all, just a clutch.

mini4x@reddit

Are those headers totally fake?

[-]

hugeyakmen@reddit

I don't think so. The video someone posted in the comments of a similar Deutz engine has headers coming out from the same location, albeit feeding into a turbo in that one. I don't know what that horizontal tube above the headers is, but it appears to be separate

[-]

mini4x@reddit

From the video the tube looks liek the exahust output to the turbos, or are those the forced air cooling tubes?

Should have used thicker aluminum, but the easy workaround for the distortion is treating the surface to make it matt

[-]

ahfoo@reddit

Oh, are those panels aluminum? I was going to ask if they were formed on a wheel machine. I want to fabricate one but I'm always curious to see what other people do with them first. I was thinking they were steel body panels bent on a wheel.
