Amount of heat for boost is less then a roots blower and somewhere around a screw blower or centrifical blower. As I stated above the exhaust is what is limitiing the HP this set up can make, the turbos can make all the boost the motor needs. This setup was state of the art back in the 70's. I had 2 friends both with same boat and only difference was one had the turbo setup and other had a roots blower. After a while the roots blower guy changed to a turbocharged setup.

MCRAYMOND3,
What year is your hull? Looks like ya got a very cool project there. You'll really love the way the boat rides.Solid, dry, and work great in BIG water. Trust me those hulls can take some serious abuse. I spent a lot of time in different "HSB's" over the years. We went through a number of different iterations when I was in the TEAMS.




Darrell.

thanks for the info... I´m going the turbo route myself on several projects as we speak.
Plus improving one...
On a boat there´s not much rpms so apparently small turbos by a pair will live with a bigblock and not heat things too much.

Darrell Moore,
The ID plate was removed before I picked it up. This was a newer design because the exhaust was channeled to an exhaust can at the bottom of the hall. The engine compartment was lined with sound absorbing/insulating material all around engine compartment to reduced the IR signature of the boat. Do you have any HSB pictures?

Heres my twin turbo EFI set up. Worked for two years making intercoolers, watercooled pipes, watercool the John Deere tractor turbos. Thier were 100s of things that had to be made to get everything working right and running. Did this in 1993. Motors have 1000s of hours on them. Turbos are the way to go if you can stand a little lag.
