Which is when?

1000 islander 05-20-2015 05:31 PM

Probably two weeks. Only pieces we are waiting on are my carburetors and stud girdles. I bit off a little more than I could chew doing three of these I think. lol

1000 islander 05-20-2015 05:35 PM

The only parts I reused from my old motors are the blocks and the ignitions. My UPS man is just starting to speak to me again after carrying 3 crankshafts, 3 sets of heads, and 3 of everything else.

DING DING!

Should make 1.25 to 1.32 HP per cubic inch so long as the compression isn't 10:1+ and the cam isn't too narrow of a LSA.

30ftpanther 05-20-2015 08:14 PM

How much difference in hp between the three motors?????????:)

Cole2534 05-20-2015 08:20 PM

I call a 2% spread, 14hp.

baja27 05-20-2015 08:56 PM

Your heads and valve train are the same as mine with bob's cam 112 center line, 714hp @ 6,000rpm, mine is a 555ci, with cnc cambers.They will sound good with dry exhaust.

himrod67 05-21-2015 08:44 AM

683 @ 5800 rpm :-)

Updates?

iliveonanisland 06-11-2015 01:52 AM

690

30ftpanther 06-16-2015 01:51 PM

We must have missed the dyno results to much, how about 316hp going off a cliff?? JUST KIDDING ! Hope everything is ok with you and your motors!!!! ttt.

Bullet #1 fresh off the dyno. On Nice N Easy non ethanol 91 pump gas she made 673.3 HP @ 5800. I am happy as a clam because when we planned this build out I told Bob I wante 675 hp pump gas motors. Just gotta repeat with the other two and good to go! Special thanks to Jim Bersani @ JBE for the assembly/tuning and to Bob Madera/Marine Kinetics for the package. Timing was at 34 degrees. I don't have the torque or bsfc numbers in front of me as the sheets are still at the dyno. Bullet #2 is going on the pump today and bullet #3 either Saturday or Monday.

Very nice! I figured alittle higher, but whatever,, still a good number. Congrats

MILD THUNDER 08-07-2015 06:44 AM

If theres one good thing about triples, its nice on a build like this. You going from 1500hp total, to 2000hp total. Should wake the boat up that extra 500hp.

1000 islander 08-07-2015 07:14 AM

That's if those other tired motors were even making 500 apiece. The center motor never even had a timing tab on it so who knows how or if they ever timed it or where it was at. The port motor had a stuck lifter and a flat cam lobe and the starboard motor had a weeping head gasket. I think this big barge should crack 90 now. It ran 83-84 before.

Looking forward to hearing how it runs with the new power. Trips to win:wizard:

SB 08-07-2015 03:38 PM

Good to see your happy and may the boat make you happy when put back in.

I think this may be the winner, and please notice I 'liked' this post way back then.

LOL.

floatingphil 08-10-2015 03:35 PM

If you can't go over, wouldn't the guy that guessed 668 in post #25 be the winner? If you can go over, the mayor guessed 675 in post #40.

Dam close
My motor is similar just more cubes and made 712 that is what I based my guess on.

1000 islander 08-10-2015 08:11 PM

Bullet #2 made 679.9 and Bullet #3 made 667.5 today making it the runt of the litter. 12 hp spread from worst to best. 1.7% Not too shabby!
