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.
