Looks like the job was awarded to polesmoker! Going forward all Ilmor engines will only be available in John Deere Green!

Did they say anything about "marinising these"?

Too bad I'm not an Engineer, because that would be a fun job/project!

This could be a problem if this is true!!

How did ILMORDONZI quote end up in this thread about a job posting???

Someone is a little behind b/c 625's became 650's about 3 years ago and all the V-10 engines include a drive rated for the ILMOR claimed H.P. so I'm not sure I follow nor do I see the relevancy. They aren't packaged w/ TCM or IMCO drives.

Ilmor determined years ago that the V-10 blocks are not beefy enough up stand up to the continuous loads incurred in a turbo/supercharged marine application. The 725/Indy package is 200 hp more than any other production normally-aspirated sterndrive package. That's enough for them.

[QUOTE=CH1P;3985522]Did they say anything about "marinising these"?

Big difference between an automobile engine & a marine engine w/ regard to the amount of time sustained at high rpm under a load. Pretty sure the Turbo Viper cars aren't running foot to the floor for 20+ mins at a time.

Has ilmor looked into the option of adding boost to the MV570? A turbo off each side of that motor and power in the 800-900 range would be a big hit and cost much less than merc turbos. Plus there indy drive could handle the power.

I was laughing pretty good as I caught up on this thread. See me waving in the aerial shot?

We know what we have with the 570 block. The v10 was fun during the S/C project.

I'm no engine expert by any means but isnt the 570 a cast block and you guys developed your own forged internals? Sounds to me like a great platform to add a few psi to or is there a weak link im missing.

Sorry just the though of a light weight more affordable twin turbo motor from a reliable company like ilmor is making me smile.

Keep smiling, we aren't going anywhere. Thx for the kind words
