2000 HP LSX Turbo

http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/...811-lsx-block/


Also theres an article about the new 454R LSX makes 770 hp on 454 cubes. Admittedly its a drag racing engine but they mentioned they built it for durability. Intersting point in the article is they talk about how much air the LSX will flow.

Cost less build a 1000HP LS than a 1000HP BBC from all new parts.

Cost less to run the LS as well.

Ryan,

While I'm a huge fan of your LS work, I question weather a 1000 hp LS engine would have the reliability and durability needed for sustained marine abuse.

I know they will make the power, I just don't know that I'd bet on one running as long as a traditional (say 540ci turbo/SC BBC) for sustained periods of time being heavily loaded in an offshore at the 1000 hp levels.

Regardless, please keep up the great development work on the turbo charged LS platform, your work has a lot of potential!

With aftermarket block, crank, and heads at least? I'm asking not because I know, but just casual observations seem that aforementioned stuff is more upfront $ to the Ole big block stuff. And I'm assuming a reliable everday 1000 hp Ls has to be boosted. No 15:1 engine is gonna be very practical.

What's everyone do for the accessories? Run the ugly car stuff or can you make marine brackets fit?

You can basically use the car stuff, but Hardin/CP makes a sea water pump/bracket that fits in place of where the AC would normally mount.
