To answer your question: The heads were worked up based on the Schubeck/True Power/Eagle motors.

I was looking at that "thing" in a magazine ad the other day. Who's got the room for one, let alone two in an engine compartment?

Probably the same way it works on a diesel. They have turbos in front of the supercharger.

Yeah, But this is a Gas engine no? Gasoline is much more volatile than diesel fuel.

Been done for many years. In WWII, there were a number of very successful Turbo/supercharged engines developed for aircraft. Also as stated earlier, Diesels have been using them for years.

Default Those quad cam twin turbos will never work...


Hard to believe these have been out for 10 years now...funny to read the old posts of how it couldn’t work.

I wonder how many are out there these days?

When I participated to Boyne Thunder in 2019. I would have to say that over 1/2 of the new boats there had the Mercury twin turbo engines. The other 1/2 were big center consoles with 3-5 of the Mercury outboards.
