525 EFI+ 700 sci charger
 

this is not a Pantera topic, but i would like to know about opinions of Pantera owners.

a friend of mine who is Cigarette dealer here has a spare 700 sci supercharger. he asked me if we can install it to 525 EFI. mercury service in Turkey doesn't know anything about chargers so we will try an experiment.

any ideas if it's a good idea or a stupid way to destroy 2 marvelous mechanics?

the more power the better!!!! my friend has a whippled 525 making over 800 horse in his pantera and it runs great... mine will be blown over the winter

I would like to hear more about this boat. ,Sorry for the hijack... maybe a new thread needed

not a boat actually. just engine and charger for the time being. spares we can call for his company. if we succeed i would think of installing on my up-coming 28. for sure i will need to change hatch. i wonder if it is possible to modify using exact 700 nxt charger? i know i will need tuning that is for sure

tomcei are you going to cumberland this weekend? im dragging down from buffalo ny. my friends is a 03 28 american flag boat. i will try to dig up a pic. its a 525 stroked to 540 with a whipple. 850 horse. runs low-mid 80's. his fit under his engine hatch. my pantera came with a 525sc and fit under the hatch so i dont see any reason to modify your hatch

here it is

88Bullet, Can't make Cumberland.

If I had my drive I might. My ride has been parked for far too long. I have a few things finally coming together for me so it should be going by spring.


Berk, I would think there is info out there for you regarding the combo you asked about.

tomcei what kind of power are you running? what year pantera do you have?

1995. 580ci 900/900
I'm waiting to bolt up an SCX.

tomcei. are you running a extension box? whats your drive height going to be set at in relation to your hull with your new drive. im trying to get my prop slip problem figured out and if i cant i think im going to end up rigging my boat like b-stubb had his. big power and a box

No box. I'm 17-17.5 x dimension I believe.(standard on the pleasure) My prop shaft was 4-4.5" below bottom.

I will be setting up the new drive exactly like the other except 1-2" shorter. the mtr and drive and new hatch is heaver by at least 125#
I will most likely run a 5 blade 30 pitch. I can always space down to the original location somewhere in the 1-2" range. These boats need good clean water to help lift the bow and reduce slip. Not to mention if you want to run in rougher water and stay hooked up.

Do a search on "prop Shaft" B- stubs had his dialed in no doubt.

It would be interesting to see what the prop shaft is on the stepped Pantera

Don't want to jack a thread up, but I gotta say I'm glad to hear that brotha !! :cool:

Yes, the thread has been hacked to pieces sorry Berk

Trust me, you couldn't be half as excited as I am. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (It aint over till its over)

Wish you the best dude, let me know how it works out..

Hacked & jacked thread, why ofcourse..

To late that happened within moments of buying an offshore boat regardless of your question !!

Haha !! Just messing with you guys.. I'm not personally familiar with the fuel systems on a 700 vs a 525 so my only suggestion is to make sure you have a good fuel system and I'm sure you will likewise need some efi upgrades of some sort as well.. I'm no efi dude so maybe just a tune, don't know, but make sure that part is right..
