Mercury's Turbo Engines
Anyone know any inside info on the new turbo engines mercury is building I hear the blower motors are on ther way out. Miami?

Turbos Hmmm?
Interesting question. I've heard nothing, but I am not in their loop.
Turbos may be the new future as they are more efficient than blowers, and they help tone down the exhaust noise to help meet the new db standards. We are working on a turbo kit package for 496's, but it won't be ready for Miami. Best Regards, Ray @ Raylar |
top secret!!

Just look at what Tommy at Chief Engines has been doing the past few years. Turbos obviously work. Huge, reliable horsepower. Mercury is seeing the results and wants in on the game.

So Mercury is getting on board eh ?:eek: They have come a long way, here are some Picture's of Tom Earharts. NOTE: the Boost selection :drink: Jon |
You know Cougerman, I seen the water cool housing in another thread after I posted. Did the motor loose any boost compared to not cooling?
Isn't Keith Eickert working on turbo marine motors also? |

Isn't Keith Eickert working on turbo marine motors also? They are just a water jacketed shield. Talked with Carson Brummett a few years ago, he Builds and Sells the old gentry turbo package's.......Same stuff Chief engines uses. Anyways he uses a truely water jaketed turbo and says you lose about 50 hp. as soon as you run water through it. Eickert did some engines with Vortech Superchargers. ... the belt-driven centrifugal super chargers which are similar to turbo chargers. Thanks Jon |
