How about a VW powered go fast?
The Tourag diesel motor is 335HP with about 525 ft lbs of torque. Could it be done?

Re: How about a VW powered go fast?
It's the most profitable car co. to date. They also own Audi, Porsche, Lamborgini, Bently and 1 or 2 more.
I think it would be cool to marinize them. A Lambgini V10 :D They are much lighter in weight, size wise I could have put 3 of those vs the 2 - 480/925 Yanmars in my 4300 Nortech. The only problem is it needs to make a little more power and torque, around 400/650-700 to make it worth going to trips vs twins in these larger boat applications. Then you could go to ASD-7's with bravo props vs the ASD-8's and Big expensive props. Time will Tell. Dont forget Raylar, he's working on a diesel something, what, I dont know, just what I hear.

Jeff I found out that they can build a Carrrera S for 50 grand and they sell it for $105 with a couple options. Look at the car closely...I can't see the money can you? The new Mercedes Benz S-550 with 400 HP goes for 86k loaded...I can easilly see the money there. |

No, it cannot be done. Lamborghini proved it.
Sometimes, it just doesn't work. The reasons may define logic, engineering principles and sometimes the laws of physics. It's just the way it is. |

Re: How about a VW powered go fast?
Jazz, Ray is working on a nice set up withe deisel,Mercury is secretly working on a new high performance deisel in the 1000hp range, I believe you will start to see alot more deisels very soon, the reliability, fuel economy , torque , lower sound emmissions, big hp blower motors are just too hard to keep running . I think the Arnesons are a nice drive for the current deisels available, good luck with your new 43, can't wait to see it, jim
