Detroit Diesel's are 2 cycle engines. They use a mechanically driven "Rootes-Type" supercharger to scavenge the cylinder and supply charge air. Every Detroit Diesel 2 cycle series has had one since 1938 when they were developed. The original blowers were designed and manufactured by Allison for Detroit. In later years turbos were added to provide more air, however because a turbo uses exhaust gas to compress the intake air you cannot start a Detroit without a supercharger.
In the big engines used by EMD the turbos are belt driven to get them up to speed and help alleve the problem og 'turbo-lag". The most common Detroit 2cycles are the 53, 71 and 92 series engines which describe the cubic inche displacement of each cylinder. They come in combinations of inline and V series with 2, 3, 4, 6 8,12 and 16 cylinders.
