Awesome numbers! Perfect boat motor! you guys did a great job!

I'm trying to bring back some cool stuff in our tech section. Although I enjoy the threads like "my engine is leaking oil, where can it be from" or "my engine wont crank, what could it be", i think its nice to see what guys are building as far as their own engines, what kind of power, etc. I think it can really get some guys wheels turning, as far as what can be accomplished, what cant be accomplished, and so forth.

I loved following budmans 489 build, even though it took several years, he still posted results. Without results, its kinda just a bunch of guys trading theories all day.

we had the intercooler thread going. With this build, we got some data to go along with the theories. Theres so many guys I know of that are full of great knowledge, but dont post much. I'd love to see them post more

I also wanted to mention the machine shop . Top of the line crew , high end equipment, Marine friendly, top notch place. Mild Thunder can put 300 miles not easy miles on his rig without adding any oil and it still looks good. Good assembly, good machining.

Their DTS 2500 dyno may read a bit lower then your typical Dynojet (can`t fudge the correction factor on a DTS) but its accurate results and no B.S. numbers.

MT,
Kudos to the team that made this work!

• Mike Tkach. Stellar job on the engine build. The engine was flawless from beginning to the end of the test.

• MT (Joe G.), Dan (ICDED) For all the input, support, and additional elbow grease.

• The dyno team at Borowski for providing accurate, repeatable data from which the necessary adjustment were made.

The majority of dyno sessions have their share of challenges and this was not the exception. I was on the phone with Mike a number of times throughout the day and everyone kept a positive attitude, maintained focus, nailed the tuning aspects, made the number (and then some!), and left the shop that evening smiling without having to mop the dyno room floor. That’s the way you do it.

Nice job guys!

Bob

Great to see tech in the tech section with supporting data!!

Yeah love to see combo/power numbers. Not guesstimates as we all know most guesstimates are wildly inaccurate. You basically have enough of a parts list for this build to be duplicated. Great info for many people (myself included if I end up with a carbbed 42) lol

i will also add to this by saying that they have a rottler cnc machining center and 2 neuan head machines along with all the other automotive machine shop equipment necessary to do top notch machine work.ken [the owner]and his crew are the best in the business and i would never even think of useing another shop.they make my assembly job easy.

Is borowski the shop that dynoed this motor?
Is this you guys? LMAO

that,s me driving my cat at 120 plus mph.that was several years ago and i built the engines[950 hp 540s] but they were not dyno tested at borowski,s.at that time they were owned by someone else and although i was working there as an engine assembler i was not happy with what was going on in the dyno room so i used a different dyno facility.the problem i had was not with the dyno equipment but the dyno operator.he was a lazy idiot.

Closer to 450 miles actually. And i am not running fancy pants rings. Just speed pro plasma moly file fit by mike tkach after a nice bore/honing process by the team at borowski.

Ring seal only as good as the bore finish they are in.

Hope it has good bearings.
