Can a 6V92 and an 8V 149 ECU be interchangeable?

Kevin—-On the 6V92 and 60 series, the ECU is interchangeable. So an 8V92 and a box of an 8V 149 could interchange. But there’s also wizards that rebuild ECUs. But there may be a fuse in the circuit that might protect from reverse polarity .

Can you own a 6V92 engine in DDEC trim?

In 625HP DDEC trim, the 6V92 is WAY beyond its output power design limits. I would not own those engines at that level of tune, because I’d be scared to death of the overhaul monster showing up every 500-1000 hours, with possible catastrophic failures in the middle, and that’s if I treat them nicely!

What should the engine load be on a 6V92?

The DDEC engine load parameter shows about 70% on port engine and 75% on starboard at 1800 RPM. I felt this was running them well below what most captains push there diesels. The engines seem to be happy with this RPM (170 degrees) but do load up a little.

Is the 6V92 engine a gasoline ally diesel?

Thanks for your input really appreciate it. Came out of Gasoline ally diesels are relatively new. Though the DDEC computer “fly by wire” system saved us the other day when one of the passangers kicked the engine out of gear at cruise rpm then put it back.
