The Cummins QSB 5.9 engine's horsepower ranges from 150 to 480, depending on its configuration, application and tuning:
- 150 to 200 HP: This range is typical for industrial applications where lower horsepower is sufficient for the tasks at hand.
- 227 to 472 HP: These ratings are found in the ReCon QSB5.9 engines, which are remanufactured engines offered by Cummins, tailored to meet various application needs with enhanced reliability.
- 230 to 480 HP: This range is specifically for the marinized Cummins MerCruiser Diesel 5.9, known as the QSB, used in marine applications where higher performance is often required.
The wide range of horsepower outputs allows the QSB 5.9 to be versatile, accommodating various industrial, agricultural, and marine uses. In performance-oriented or marine applications, the engine is often tuned to achieve the maximum output, providing robust and reliable power. This flexibility makes the Cummins QSB 5.9 a preferred choice for many heavy-duty applications where both durability and performance are critical.
