Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Im building a new Nortech 4300 boat but with twin Yanmars (480hp) & ASD-8's this time. What I'm looking for is some type of engine management done with electronics, like on my diesel trucks. What has to be done due to these diesels having electronic fuel vs mechanical. How do you turn these up. Is there any co. that add more power reliably, say just 50-75hp. Thanks for the help. Jeff

I would start talking to companys like Edge and bully dog, they make the chips and see if they know anything about them.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

The 480 can very safely be truned up to 600. Last I heard everything you needed was available direct from Yanmar for like $2500 an engine.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Can you really bump them to 600hp ? How long do they last ?

Do you bump them with boost ?

Jass, call Mastry Engine Center in St. Petersburg, FL. Ask to speak with Adib Mastry.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Mastry and Legendary are the go to guys for Yanmar stuff, Mastry's number is (727)522-9471.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

I did speak with Adib Mastry. Super nice guy. Because the injection is electronic and not mechanical there are presently no programs to tune these new 480hp diesels. There company did patten the air tubes, and they will be doing a few things different on that to give me more midrange. This was done on Bill's 42 Diesel Fountain that now goes 90. Adib and Nortech also got the new 39 Nortech that orig. did 78-79, to now do 85. That boat is now in Norway. All without engine tuning. Exhaust will be 6" on my boat, which should help with backpressure. I elected to take the notch out of the transom and also raised the drives 1/4". With a lighter layup approx weight savings will be 1000 less pounds. I'm Very excited, at 68-70mph cruise I will be burning 16 gallons per side, 80 plus will be the goal for top speed. I know it's not fast by todays standards. (you always want more) What Im looking for is reliability, insurability, better cruise speeds, less fuel burn, which means more poker runs and time out on the water. Jeff

Any updates by chance. Thanks Guys.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Jassman if Mastry says nothing can be done , that's it :( . They are the more performance oriented Yanmar dealer in the world. Actualy they are officialy the biggest dealer in the WORLD.

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Wow - that sounds pretty amazing Jeff, Can't wait to see some pics of it finished in the water. Damn, at 16gph / per side you could cruise to Grand Cayman and back! :D

Re: Chips for electronic management on Yanmars
 

Adib told me that at the time nothing was out, but probably by the time the NorTech was finished. He must be on vacation cause I left 2 messages. No bg deal, so thats why I posted on the board, in case there are a few other diesel experts out there, Like Super-T.- Ivan that might know something different. JJ

I wont make that PR, boat per Terry will be done around week of the 14th, and then off to Pat at Active Thunder for paint, I imagine that will take another 2 weeks. Just in time for the sarasota PR. Thanks Jeff


DoTheMath, I did the math, :D thats why I went diesels this time, plus the longevity, and I believe if set up and maintained properly I should, or the next buyer should have years of trouble free boating. Thanks Jeff
