Was on a thread here the other day on the issue of diverters and the OP had 525's. The end result was to install turn downs. After thinking about turn downs I think I'm going to go the same route. You have open exhaust when running and when you slow down they are as quite as non-diverter thru hull.

Waiting for the stuff to come in to start the grinding so did a bit of work. Replaced the broken anodes on the new transom assembly, removed the exhaust boot and installed the exhaust block off plate.

Took a ride to see Eddie today to give him the new elbows. The engine looks real good and will be on the dyno next week. Eddie and Travis have done some real nice work. Opened up the fuel rail and will feed fuel from both ends and has a return line back to the tank. Cut down the intake and opened it up some.

In this pic you can see what the intake use to look like and that mine has been cut down so it is level with the inside of the plenum. Also charged from V-belt to serpentine

PS cooler mounted on the rear deck, cool fuel mounted were cooler was, port side low


Now I really need to get moving to finish the transom and other glass work

Everything inside has been replaced except valves and crank. Valve guides have been cut shortened, intake and exhaust have been honed along with combustion chamber, bored .030 over, and balanced. MEFI1 replaced with MEFI3, don't know what compression it will be running but Eddie tells me the engine will have over 100 extra HP. I don't see it going over 550 probably in the 525 range, but as before I want low end torque more then HP

Unless things change I'm going to go and pick up the engine probably Tuesday. Talking to Eddie he said the engine produced 545 HP and 617 Torque using 91 octane. He did two engines and believes the numbers are correct but will have paper work when I go to pick it up. Numbers will probably drop 15HP when hooked up to my exhaust. He uses dry tuned headers running through a muffler do to sound level.
When I'm done with repairs and ready, Eddie will come down and ride with to return for optimum performance
