Caterpillar Engines

Theres something wrong with that 08 in the vid. No way it should start like that.

Sounds almost like it had air in the fuel system.
Cool engine no less.

 

I was thinking air, or the rod in the pump sticking

 

Here's another video of a 3408, mine in fact. If you haven't already seen it you can hear the engine working hard about halfway through the video

 

If it's dual turbo it sounds like it is marine engine spec. I've got a pic of a dual turbo marine 3408 at a friend's w/shop with a dyno plate on it of around 800 HP. I'll see if I can find it and upload it.

 

There are industrial versions as well that would not have the water cooled manifold like the marine engines, 800 is the max rating for any 3408 and that is marine application.

The same displacement C18 inline 6 makes 1150hp in max marine spec.

 

Awesome vid ozdriver! Your a smoooth operator . Suprized your v8 dont even smoke much. Love them engines

 

Can get enough of watching the vid. Awesome job Mr. OzDriver, and some very smooth shifting. But I have one question, how come you guys drive on the wrong side of the road and the drivers seat is also on the wrong side ?

 

As we live "down under ", everything is a mirror image to the northern hemisphere. Even the bath water goes down the plug hole the opposite way.

 

You do know your upside down right ?
