Model Number:
6CTA8.3-C260
The 6CTA8.3-C260 is the 194 kW / 260 hp top step of the 8.3 litre C-series inline six, governed at 2200 rpm with a 114 mm bore and 135 mm stroke. This listing covers a brand-new complete assembly — never run, never fuelled — built on a turbocharged and aftercooled block with mechanical inline injection and no ECM. Two control parts lists circulate against this rating, CPL 0722 and CPL 1845, and the C260 tail also appears on marine, pump-drive and electronic families beyond this block. The sections below separate those cases and list the turbocharger and injection pump numbers to verify against your CPL before ordering.
| Product Name | Complete Engine Assembly |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | 6CTA8.3-C260, C series 8.3 litre |
| Configuration | Inline six, four stroke, water cooled |
| Displacement | 8.3 L / 8300 cc |
| Bore and Stroke | 114 mm by 135 mm |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged with air-to-air aftercooling |
| Fuel System | Mechanical inline injection pump, no ECM |
| Rated Output | 194 kW / 260 hp (also printed as 264 hp where metric figures are used) |
| Rated Speed | 2200 rpm |
| Control Parts List | CPL 0722 and CPL 1845 both circulate against C260 |
| Emission Class | Stage II equivalent, mechanical pump |
| Condition | New, never run, never fuelled |
| Packaging | Bolted steel skid, port caps, desiccant, fumigated export crate |
| Documents | Dataplate photograph, CPL confirmation, packing list, test sheet |
| Rating Ladder On One Block | C215 at 160 kW, C240 at 179 kW, C260 at 194 kW — all at 2200 rpm on one 8.3 litre six |
|---|---|
| Two Control Parts Lists | CPL 0722 appears on surplus industrial units and CPL 1845 on machine applications, so one rating carries two hardware definitions |
| Marine Version | 6CTAA8.3-M260 is rated 190 kW at 2134 rpm with 1125 N·m at 1200 rpm — a different duty point behind the same three digits |
| Pump Drive Version | 6CTAA8.3-P260 is rated 190 kW at 1800 rpm for fire pump and similar constant-speed duty |
| Electronic Namesakes | QSC8.3-C260, QSB6.7-C260 and 6LTAA8.9-C260 all carry the same C260 tail on different displacements and different fuel systems |
| Turbocharger Numbers | 3538623 and 3802886 are both sold against this block, so the assembly number has to be matched to the CPL |
| Pump Number Trap | 5267708 is listed against the 6CTAA8.3-G2 generator build rather than the industrial C260 |
| Related Components | Cylinder head, gasket set, liner and piston kit, bearings, injector, injection pump, turbocharger, oil pump, water pump, fan hub, starter, alternator |
Q1: Why does one rating carry two control parts lists?
A CPL records the hardware fitted to a build, not the power it makes, so a rating can be released more than once as components change. CPL 0722 and CPL 1845 both sit behind C260 and can differ in turbocharger, pump calibration, piston grade or cooler package. Quoting from the rating alone therefore invites the wrong parts.
Q2: Is the output 260 hp or 264 hp?
Both, depending on which horsepower is meant. Mechanical horsepower divides 194 kW by 0.7457 and lands on 260, while metric horsepower divides the same kilowatts by 0.7355 and lands on 264. Neither number is wrong and neither is a different engine, which is why the kilowatt figure belongs in the contract.
Q3: Can a mechanical engine still be registered in a regulated market?
It depends on the gate the machine has to pass, which is usually set by power class and date rather than by the engine alone. A mechanical inline pump cannot trim fuelling against a feedback signal, so it cannot meet the later non-road stages where they are enforced. Where a project still accepts a Stage II equivalent, this block remains cheap and serviceable; where it does not, move to an electronic family before a deposit, not after arrival.
Q4: Which turbocharger belongs on it?
3538623 and 3802886 both appear, and the CPL decides between them.
Q5: What separates C260 from M260 and P260?
The tail letter sets the duty: C for construction, M for marine, P for constant-speed pump drive.
Q6: What travels with the crate?
Dataplate photograph, CPL confirmation, test sheet and packing list.
