Twin Turbo LSX Boat
 
http://www.enginelabs.com/news/water...00-horsepower/

Someone's been holding out on us. Fess up Redder, what's this going in?

Wonder what RPM they will be spinning this up to.

I would think that would make 1200-1400 hp, but my assumption that motor would need a bigger turbo to get to 2000hp, I believe that is a 70 mm compressor, in the link. But I don't know sh*t, so teach me. Precision has some pretty cool equipment. Hogie, I like this post, I am all about learning what works, what are the right parts, combinations, and real world field testing/experience. Keep the info coming

The guy building them is on here, hopefully he fills us in.

I've been waiting for this to pop up. The LSX block is perfect for building a light weight 1500 hp turbo motor. The block was designed for 2000+ hp.

It is going in a older fountain. That was setup for twins and now a good running single. I also think it has a #6 drive behind it. Funny because I read the tittle and thought I know of someone building a 35 fountain like this. Then read the article yep that is the one I know of.

That's pretty cool. Wiesman should develop and promote his dual prop drive. With so much horsepower now you could power up to 40 foot boats with singles.
