And equally few that are strictly mechanically blown (the Detroit Diesel 2-strokes are no longer in production). The VAST majority are, indeed, turbo-supercharged. Not true of some of our school busses that were produced in the past 5 or so years. They make up for the lack of super or turbocharging with more cubic inches. I say AGAIN... what percentage of the market is that? Tiny. And they only TRY to make up with more cubic inches- a DT466E would run rings around them. |

I was not taking issue with the tiny percentage concept. I did take issue with the following, and the NONE I believe that if you look at modern diesels currently being produced and sold, you'll find virtually NONE rated at more than 50-60 horsepower that are not turbo-supercharged. Not a big deal to me, one way or the other. I always found the non turbo buses under powered, compared to their turbo brothers. -- Jim in NC |
