The Best Sounding BUS Engines
Вставка

- Engine geeks do not judge. No matter where the engine comes from, we have an appreciation for it. For many buses are a nostalgic thing, for me especially from the high school studies and although I did not like the bus traveling much, I did appreciate the variety and beauty of bus engines in general. This video as a second part is exactly for the same thinking people.

Imagine having brap braps from a 2 1/2 ton refrigerator
They're a lot more than 2 and a half tons!
God I have a rotary pickup and now I want a rotary bus
@@apancher I think he's just talking about the weight of the engine by itself
@@nateoverthehorizon1176 Man, *(bleep)* Wankel engines in a small bus! Go with a *Ford PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel!*
@@josecarrilloii4036 4 rotor twin turbo from the awd RX7 😳
Ford has their new big block “Godzilla” engine now that replaced the triton V10. I wonder if it’ll make its way into busses? Great video Visio, you keep us motorheads excited. 👍🏽
It's used in the E350 cutaway, so undoubtedly.
Yes it did make it to buses.
Should, I thought it’s made for fleet and medium duty duties mainly
It already has. We have a couple of F550 Starcraft buses with the 7.3 in our shop being fitted with hybrid systems.
I'd stick to a high-output *Ford 6.7L PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel* engine in an American school bus, thank you.
4:48
The starter sound of that big v10 is so satisfying
☝ *"OBJECTION!"* ☝
Oh, puh-lease! Go with a *Ford PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel* (most likeley the *6.7L PowerStroke)!*
Thats what I thought the 90s-00s were wild times both Ford and Dodge putting v10s. I can't believe the v10 was just discontinued it was a workhorse of a motor.
must have been sucking fuel like tap water...V engines afterall
Same starter as the 4.6 L V8
Personally, big diesels have their places in industrial applications but I loved that Ford v10 I love big displacement gassers and small displacement diesels just a unique sounds.
I used to ride a Gillig Coach with a 6-71 Detroit. That was around when they started to disappear, so the driver had to short shift in residential neighborhoods to avoid noise complaints. On the main road, he opened it up and I though the bus was a Supra.
Haha
**Ford 7.3L PowerStroke*
Rest in peace 6.8 Triton :(
These sounds straight bussin’.
I rode on one of these LPG bluebird busses for a number of my high school years. I often wondered what the engine was, I never knew they had a V10 though. The particular bus I rode on was a lemon, it broke down constantly! lol
Makes sense, what with the *yellow paint.*
Apart from that, that's probably the reason why school bus companies across the United States should use a *turbo-diesel engine (preferably a V8)* instead of their *gas-powered equivalents,* what with their *immense curb weight.*
I work for a transportation company, 267 buses in our fleet. Mostly are international CE 200 conventionals with Cummins 6.7L ISB engines, some C2 Thomas's ( hate those!) We do have 20 of those (2014 models, all between 50-100k on miles. Which came from a sister location) Blue Bird Vision buses all with 6.8L V10 Ford engines with the Roush propane systems. They seem to run good,decent power. There quiet, warm up faster but only get about 4 miles to the gallon. Don't require DEF and don't have to Regen which is good. They do have large fuel tanks 86 gallon, compared to the 60 gallon in the international's. Which get between 6-8 miles per gallon. We started using the those BB's for local routes and so far so good on the reliably. Mostly some minor problems had occurred. Time will tell..
too much vitamin c in its engine i guess..
@@michaelmurphy6869 According to Ford service technicians that are familiar with the Triton-series engines, the 3-valves (Both V-8 & V-10) are NIGHTMARES of technical problems! Cam-phasers that easily failed--and were expensive to get factory replacements for... with inferior, "inexpensive" replacements offered in the aftermarket, spark plugs that lacked sufficient threads to keep them from blowing out, and an oil that barely provided enough to keep the cam phasers happy/alive! Not to mention the odd intake manifold gasket sealing issues that would arise.
And all for what? An option to those not comfortable with diesels?! To make a replacement for the venerable, reliable 385-series 460-ci./7.5L V-8!? The V-10 was never that powerful in compared to it's diesel V-8 stablemate, in the area that mattered most (torque production) and was a total fuel hog to boot! Fact that Ford never developed a twin-cam 4-valve version--as done with the other engines of the same family--it shows even they didn't take it seriously performance-wise, and often many of them were swapped-out for a Cummins 6BT conversion by their owners as a result. :\

Our middle school had a 1970's Bluebird Ford bus with a 429 mated to a 4 speed gearbox. It sounded so awesome lol.
Where I live we have the 2006 Urbino 18. Whenever I get to catch the bus and an 18 shows up, I always sit in the back and listen. What a sound, both the turbo and the engine!
USA: "We use a huge V10 Gasoline engine in our busses, and they get the worlds worst fuel mileage!"
Japan: "Hold my beer...."
Seriously, a B13 in a BUS? What kind of MPG was that, about 3 to the gallon?? *walks of ranting*
And at full load in an incline, we’ll be using gallons per mile instead
I'd stick with a high-output *Ford 6.7L PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel* in a American *school bus,* thank you.
@@josecarrilloii4036 copypasta on point 👌
@@josecarrilloii4036 those would great,but in the school bus apps those engines will be severely detuned... Can't have hot rod school buses.. lol The 6.7 ISB's we have in our fleets are very nuetured...220 hp Smaller turbos,injectors and ECM calibrations, tier 4 emissions with the alphabet of components, DOC, DPF, DEF and the SCR. Considering the power potential of those engines it's really an insult to the manufacturers! We had a fleet (14 buses, which were recently retired) that were '04 Thomas transits with 3126, C7 Cats which had the tier 2 ( HEUI systems) emissions which were detuned from 330 hp down to 190hp. I'm sure the drivers would love more power, but the feds control the numbers and that is a real shame!!
@@michaelmurphy6869 What about up to *475 horsepower* and *1,050 ft-lbs. of torque, bone stock,* in some PowerStroke-powered buses *_(if_* they ever decide to start using them)?
Besides, those things must weigh upwards of at least *12.5 tons (25,000 lbs. / 11,451 kg.)!*
I've driven the triton v10 in a k-loader at an air ramp (loading cargo planes), and it sounds the best out of any k-loader engine including ford v12s.
I grew up on these Ikarus buses in Poland. The unique sound of the Raba engine is engrained in my head for the rest of my life. Loved your video. I was waiting for this.
Can you do a most finely engineered/smoothest engines (all types of vehicles) :)
Honda goldwing 1800 would fit perfectly into that category.
@@Zach-ju5vi i used to sell Honda motorcycles for a living. The current Goldwing is absolutely spectacular. So smooth you think it's turbine powered.
I'd like a list of the best-sounding *fuel-injected, cross-plane, four-stroke V8's (gas or turbo-diesel)!*
@@apancher they are incredibly well balanced bikes because the design of the engine.
Take a look at the "GM new look" buses, most of the time they had the "small" Detroit-Diesel 6-71. They were noisy, had no A/C, windows had a hard time being completely shut (wind whistling was present at highway speeds), but the heating was ok, as long as you had a thick coat in winter, or if you were sitting on the engine on the middle of the back seat. They were built like a tank though.
**Ford 7.3L PowerStroke*
As a kid growing up in the 90's, all our school buses were flat nosed, front engined Blue Birds. All of them had diesel engines of some sort, some of the newer ones in the late 90's/early 00's had that 5.9 Cummins diesel engine in them, it had a distinct sound and were REALLY FREAKING LOUD compared to some of the other buses. Also the old backup buses we occasionally rode in were from the 70's/80's, they had smelly ass gas big block V8's with manual transmissions which our bus driver hated, she was always grinding gears lol.
In Venezuela we have a popular Coachbuilder named ENCAVA, they built a urban model with the reliable Isuzu 6 cilinder lineal engine 6HH1-S, 192 hp. Allison transmission, the sound the engine is very cool, and a fast bus. Best regards from Venezuela!
I don't know why but I love to watch your videos when I can't fall asleep. It makes me calm and able to fall asleep faster than before. Glad you still make new videos 🖤🖤
Those laid down engines were pretty neat, would be interesting to see how different the oil system is compared to a upright engine. Yet another great video, I think I’m becoming a bus enthusiast as well.
In some yes, in others no. Volvo made two versions depending on where the engine was being placed. Under the floor of a bus/coach in the "mid" position, between the drive and steering axle it had a dry sump, with scavenging pumps and a tank. You check the oil level on this with the engine running. There is another version with wet sump that sits in the rear bay, which is essentially the same the same block, but upright. This version obviously omits the H from the model number.
Seeing one in a cab-over semi would be REALLY something...! ;)
@@pancudowny closest you’ll get would be a Volvo FL10, which uses the TD100 series engine, but with a vertical cylinder bore.
@@pancudowny agreed
The diesel powered 80's VW Vanagon had a Rabbit inline 4 laid down. I've seen Diahatsu 3 cylinder engines laid down on a smaller electrical generator. These had a slight " head higher than oil pan to prevent the cylinders from being submerged in oil.
I've also seen a VW inline 6 that was stood on end that powered a back up generator used in a small server farm.
My personal favorite is the 9.0 L International V8 diesel from the mid 1980s. Those school buses sounded great!
These topics are so random that it makes them more fun to watch, great work as always.
thanks for making these videos, I am really a motor head at heart turned accountant and like seeing all the variations of engineering that are out there. Cheers - Henry
In my opinion, the best sounding bus engine is the one I grew up hearing the most: Caterpillar 3126. First bus I ever rode was a Blue Bird GMC CV200 which had it. In my later years of elementary school, we had a Thomas Freightliner FS65 sub bus with that engine plus a (rarely-optioned) 5-speed manual transmission
Something also worth noting is that the New Flyer GE40LF/R also had the same Triton V10 as the Blue Bird Vision albeit in a series hybrid setup.
I've been watching your videos for soo long now. By far and away the best engine comparison channel on UA-cam. Well done visio!
Love the content man, really appreciate all your efforts!
I remember the Setra and Neoplan coaches from the 1980s, not sure what engines they ran but they sounded awesome
Can you make a top of power to weight ratio engines??
And a displacement to power ratio? I mean the s2000 is gonna be up there….
Wouldn't those just all be F1 engines?
@@michaelvinciguerra4369 vtec go bwaaaa
@@ethansmith9065 I mean available to the public/mass production engines. But yes, you are 100% correct.
@@ethansmith9065 Idk maybe top fuel are better in this category
Great video. I enjoy the different engines you feature, not just the main stream stuff.
Your videos always make me happy I love the format that you use
VR: consider a vid featuring buses but ones with front engines and ones with rear engines. Cat, Mercedes, IH all made various engines and some made buses too. I believe it would add to your stable of videos very nicely. Cheers.
My favourite sound is the 5.9 and 6.7 cummins found in 70% indian buses. Many of them have been replaced by 4cyl 3.3l engines. Some still continue to use the 6.7 and they are just so loud and amazing to hear. You can always tell a 6.7 is coming from 1km away😂
Great video! Im shamed to not being born in Amerika! School bus powered by a V10 gas engine. When i was in elementary school, once a week was swimming teaching, a IKARUS 211 get us there, with its IFA 4 cylinder crap of an engine. Wher we gone for some tour with the it was usually with a IKARUS 256 coach, with its loud, planetery geared rear axle. Good times, but here i am driving Ikarus 280 GVM trolleybuses :D
I remember the Volvo and Gardner engines from my school busses. Nice to see/hear them again.
This upload brings back a lot of memories from when I used to regularly travel by Coach in 🇬🇧
National Express had a fleet of vehicles; some dating back to the late 1960's that used to top out in excess of 90mph.....
Even the later 1970's were able to hit 80mph on a pnuemo cyclic type of transmission before the 'speed restriction' units became a thing, so to speak.
Loving the content VR 👍
I think one of those Triton powered Blue Birds is what took me to high school every day! I always thought it was just a weird sounding v8 but I guess not!
I'm glad you included the Gardner, one of my favourite sounding diesel engines ever. A lot of Bristol VRs (UK Double decker) used them and they were a lovely gruff sounding engine which sounded as if it could pull a tank.
Funny how the bluebird clip was taken in our town! Greetings from Mendon,MA/USA! Love your videos!
Man i love buses too. The vehicles that many people might think are boring can also have good sounds too
Great video. Thank you!
man, that v10 bus sounds awesome
As a Hungarian Im surprised and happy ikarus made it on here :)
always something new. thanks
A1. Bro Your Vids are the Best. Keep it up. Got a style your own. Live it and Love it. Haha
The Gardner 6LXB is my favourite as all the buses I used to take to school had one and the noise is so familiar
I remember back in my high school years there were a few International DT series buses with the manual Diesel V8, they were a lot better sounding than the inline 6's on those.
If you ever do a 3rd part, check out the International 7.3 V8's
Seconded, and may I recommend also the 6.9L IDI? It has a very unique sound, and was also available in the F series.
@@volvodude101 Nah, I'd highly recommend the *Ford PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel (6.7L today)* in a school bus.
@@josecarrilloii4036 no they have DPF systems and EGRs it completely kills the tone the new 6.7 buses sound like garbage without delete
I remember thinking Cool, this bus sounds like a diesel Corvette! The driver was an old guy who obviously loved the sound of that stick shift V8 combo.
Ol idis sound wicked
Immediately nominating the bluebird vision with the triton V10, like goddamn thats a nice sounding bus
**Ford PowerStroke V8*
When I was a kid, one of the towns mechanics drove our school bus. Gas powered Chevy. Slow but probably reliable as hell. Maybe 454, or bigger? Could it have been a 502? I dunno. Maybe cover it Visio. Also maybe a history lesson of the first pick-ups to have diesel engines. I think most of the ones in the U.S. were gas converted to diesel by GM. Could be wrong.
It maybe possibly also could’ve been the 366 V8, I know GM used it a lot in a lot of older buses with the Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick chassis until like 2002 before moving to using the 8.1L Vortec 496ci V8 until like 2009 or so on the later models of the TopKick and Kodiak trucks, alongside the 6.6L Duramax Diesel as an option from 2003-2009, and the Caterpillar 3116 or 3126 until the year of 2002
The engine you're thinking of is the 350 Olds diesel that came out in 1978 in half-ton pickups. People jumped on it immediately thinking that diesel meant durable and reliable. They found out differently. It wasn't until 1982 when the Chevrolet-engineered clean-sheet 6.2 came out that there was a true diesel designed for light-duty trucks.
**GM 6.6L Duramax*
And your English is getting better and better I don’t know how you make it so easy
You are the saint we didn’t know we needed
Duuude the B10M bring me so much memories... My favourite! Living in Brazil you see these engines everywhere
If you make a third part, make sure to include the Scania DSC9, the predecessor to the DC9
great video 👍
I can’t believe that some people gives a thumbs down... Such a cool content!!
You gotta hear the Mercedez benz 1114 engine sound it's just so iconic, or the beford strange idol
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌
great job:D
I'm hoping for a Cummins ISL 8.9 EPA 2004 to be in a future video, that engine sounds very nice!
The Gardner 6LXB is a beautiful engine. And it sounds nice.
Most reliable motorcycle engines would be great , or the most rediculous engine/ set up for vehicles and marine applications
Do a video on ice cream truck engines or mail truck engines
That v10 sounds awesome! I have an 01 f250 with a v10 and LOVE it
As always, thanks, great diversity for all things automotive 👍🇭🇲
Great as usual. I can imagine this being very poopular
awesome video
Those V10 tritons were used in alot of RV's . Also F-250 and F-350 . My friend had a f350 dually with a v10 and a manual transmission. Having to Get out and manually lock the front hubs when you got stuck was the only pain with it .
I've got a 6.0 gas in my Chevy short bus 3500 chassis (basically a dually pickup). I love it
Thank you for another bus video, especially for the Volvo B58/B10M and the Ikarus buses (Raba D2156). As for suggestions - try the Raba D10, the successor of the D2156. It sounds completely different. Also, check out the MAN D2866 UM engine. Good luck ! :)
Hi there ! There were lot of motorhomes with the V10 Ford Triton engine too !! No detroit or cummins, cat or even scania in your bus selection, maybe the next one ! :) my 88 motorhome (built on a Crown bus chassis) has a 3208 aftercooled turbo in it, it's sound really nice too ! thank you for all your video, keep up the good work ! Cheers from France and an other bus enthusiast !
Yes caterpillar, detroit and Cummins have all Ben used in motorhomes. Many of the Prevost chassis, Newell and Bluebird used detroit, Bluebird and many others did use caterpillar. Cummins is the most common engine used in diesel pusher motor homes today.
Why not a *Ford PowerStroke V8?*
I just love the 6.8 V10. we had that motor in our uhaul and motorhome. The Triton V10 sounds excellent in the BBV
But *_terrible_** on fuel mileage* compared to a newer *6.7L PowerStroke.*
I drove a V10 powered F550 at my last job. It was a 15’ stake bed. I wanted to buy it because it only had like 30k miles. It had plenty of power, sounded nice, but only got 6.5 mpg average when I would drive it. I still loved that engine. Would’ve been better coupled with the ZF6 transmission instead of the automatic.
I've ridden in a Blue Bird school bus for a couple of years, and the ones in specific had the 6.7 liter Cummins turbocharged diesel straight 6, it was a 2018 model. I do want to drive or at least ride in one with a Triton V-10 someday.
Nick: I was fortunate enough to get to drive a Chevy 4-Ton Box Truck with an Inline 6 Cummins Turbo Diesel a little smaller than your engine! It was surprisingly responsive and a smooth responsive Auto Tranny! The Chevy was one of two 4-Tonners I would get from a Military Motorpool. I worked for the Military as a Contractor. The other was a Ford F650.
**Ford 6.7L PowerStroke*
Breaks my heart to see the last of the Triton motors disappear. I love the Triton V10, I wish they would have just refreshed it. But I do like the new 7.3 Godzilla too lol
The best sounding bus I rode was 1998 International Thomas school bus with a DT466E and a spicer 6+1 (7 speed) manual transmission. Driver had been driving it since brand new and he started driving in 1998 too, only bus he drove beside subs when it was in the shop.
I miss the sound a gardner 6lxb, you always used to hear thek before bus companies rid of them for the enviro series
great chanel!
Maybe a video on those old W123 Body Mercedes benz engines? they were bombproof and my late dad worked on them so often i grew up around those old things, my dads 240D still runs to this day, despite that huge texas snowstorm it started right up!
I learned today that some Blue Bird contracted busses had V10 engines. Since you can find used Blue Bird busses for a few grand, finding a V10 Ford is going to be rare, but golden once restored.
Used to ride on one of those blue bird busses often
Here is a challenge, The lowest BHP engines with the most torque for their class.
Nigga this ain’t automation beam ng
Nice. I love the sound of the Ford V10.
**Ford PowerStroke V8*
I'm a little late but thanks for these. I'll have to get together some of my videos and photos of our fashion bus we had. Including it's demise.
I know it wouldn't make the list but I think I have a video of a start up I did for a marketing bit. It was a 32 foot aeroelite 28 passenger ADA or handicap bus with a Navistar chassis. Vt385 with a 5spd auto.
Love it ✌🏽💯
My experience with bus engines (ridden, driven, worked on, and owned) is long. GMC 302 inline 6, 305, 351, 478 V6's, and Olds 370 V8. International RD 406, small V345 and V392, DTA360, DT466E and the V365 diesel V8. Superior ambulance/bus with DH478 Toro Flow and Cummins triple nickel V555. MCI 6V92 Detroit, Detroit 50 series and Detroit 60 series diesels. I'm sure I'm forgetting some too.
The best sounding engines i remember having in Germany are the om447hLa in a O405 GN with a slightly broken exhaust, the v8 in the setra s213 h and the man d20 found in the lion citys as they have a ridiculous loud turbo
I would like to see all the 3-cylinder motorcycles including the Triumph trident. That was a great video thanks.👍👍🍻
I've driven various Vision models since the earliest Cat 6 cyl models and really enjoy the power and flexibility of the Gasoline Roush V 10 only wishing for better transmission shift programming . That 71 passenger bus can leave many cars behind off the line up to about 45 MPH and leaves the gas IH buses in the dust . However my favorite BlueBird is the older All American and Wonder Lodge that came with the Cat 3208 non turbo with the low restriction exhaust . Deep bass staccato sound off idle where you could almost hear every cylinder fire . Brake torque the automatic equipped and you could drown out any loud sound system kids put in their cars . I drove one with a broken governor and it was cruising at 85 with the needle pegged to the underside of 0 on the tach . In 90 they switched to turbo cummins to get another a mile per gallon but just didn't have the power off the line or on the highway .
For me, nothing beats International I6 Diesels I grew up riding like the DT360, and DT466
Seeing the emblem for Blue Bird buses brings me back... way back...
The Blue Bird Vision with the Triton V10 engine is Hank Hill's favourite bus! Get it? Cuz, it runs on propane.
Doing a good job
VERY GOOD Workmanship ,u speak good English
What about the IVECO V8 n/a engines of the 80s? Great videos @visioracer
Surprised Detroit Diesel 2-stroke engines didn't make it into yet another video. Crown Supercoaches powered by these were a common sight (and sound) in southern California all the way into the late 1990s. They were slow, loud, hot, stinky, and they were the only buses that still had a manual transmission at this point, so nobody knew how to drive them without missing gears so badly they had to go back into the previous gear half the time and start over. If your regular bus broke down or your driver called in sick, there was a good chance you were going to have to ride in one of these and make it home 40 minutes late with (hopefully) temporary hearing loss.
The older Mercedes bus from the 1980's had an amazing chugging sound like Alco.locomotives.
Evinrude VRO under 100 HP, military tracked vehicle engines like the US Army M88 recovery vehicle, Buick V-8 engines.
Also Mielec engines like SW680 (Leyland license) or SWT/300/1 (modified SW680 with turbo)] sound great, they were used in Jelcz buses
NICE!
I have a 1988 Bluebird school bus that I converted to a camper. I bought it in 2000. It has a 366 big block Chevrolet engine with a 5 speed standard transmission. It was running on propane when I bought it. But I converted it back to gasoline. Easier to fill up and gasoline everywhere. She'll get up and go.
You missed the DAF DB250. A 14l i6 turbo that sounds INSANE.
