Supercharged Ilmors
I might be looking to upgrade my Ilmor 625's so they make more power. Has anyone done this, or can anyone recommend a good builder. Thank you in advance

the price is heart stopping...but they do quality work. The only people id let touch my ilmor beside ilmor and Teague is boostpower. UD |
who better to Ask
Before I would ever supercharge an Ilmore marine engine I would talk to the actual people at Ilmore!
They know that engine inside out and they would probably share their thoughts with respect to reliability and practicality of the possible conversion. You know they could probably either rework your engine up to their 710-725HP level or sell you the required parts and pieces and give you more power without the supercharging. Just a thought. When you have a question, go to the experts! |
The current 650/725 engines are an entirely new generation. Ilmor may have some decent trade-in allowances, but since sales are picking up, they may not be looking for deals so much any more.
My instinct tells me that your best shot would be to upgrade your 625 to the 7-10 specification. It's probably pretty simple. |
What drives are you running
|
I do a lot with the Vipers and am running a Gen 3 viper that is over 1000hp to the wheels with a supercharger. That is the engine that most of the Ilmor's are based on. The builder that did my enigine specializes in supercharged Vipers. That is on 91 oct:)

What blower do you use? Have you tried turbos?
I had twin turbos on my 2001 Viper GTS. We made over 1000 on pump gas and over 1200 on C16. It ws the most reliable 1000+ hp car that I've had. |
