Eric Betty is in the middle of dynoing my new engine at 6:00 DST today. He is having to write the program as he goes so it has been a slow deliberate process this afternoon. Right out of the box the engine made 1014 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. At 4900rpm the corrected hp was 978 and 5 lbs of boost. (The dyno room is over 120 degrees).

Eric is letting the engine cool and will do some more pulls up to 6000 rpm. He is excited about the possibilities as am I. The final goal is 8 lbs of boost so we will see. He will video the final pull and I will try to post it.

One of these days I gotta trip down there just to see your boat!

Big Fun Quent...picts... show us....(please)


Uncle Dave

Second that on the pics Quent!
Very fun stuff!
(Uncle Dave, saw your boat in person. Very nice!)

The engine made 1078 at 5800 rpm. The interesting thing is how flat the torque curve was. It will probably be a drive breaker. I will try and get the dyno sheet posted. Quent

Quent,

awesome numbers! can't wait to see pics of it and hear how it runs!!
You going to keep the drive at 1.5.0?

Excellent numbers Quent! You've got to be excited to get that in and run it!
Keep us posted

Dave

Thank you!

Guys, I want to see the final setup as well. I have been traveling a lot as Eric has worked on the boat. He is putting the engine back in and will be testing the boat this week. I hope to get the boat this weekend. Eric and I have talked on the phone 2 or 3 times during the dyno run and he will get me the sheet which I can post.

He was very pleased at the flat torque curve and how the engine pulled all the way to the 6200 rev limit. The boost was at 7.5 pounds and he left the fuel fat so I could go to a smaller pulley and get more HP. With the addition of the box and 1:36 gears, I probably will have more than I should. We shall see. Quent

Do any of you Lavey guys have a 2750 with a box. If so, where is your prop shaft relative to the bottom of the boat? I just had a Stellings box put on my Mid Cuddy Bow Rider boat with an SCX upper and SC lower. The prop shaft is about 1 3/4 inches below the bottom.

Recognizing that the SCX is about 3/4 inch further back than a Bravo or SC, is my height about right? I am effectively back 12 3/4" from where I was and at that time my prop shaft was about 2" below the bottom. Chris at Lavey told me today that about 2" below the bottom was correct. Once I have gone back 12" plus the additional setback of the SCX it seems that a little less than 2" would be about right since the water comes off the bottom of the boat at about 15 degrees. This certainly is no exact science and I am willing to tweak. I just need a good starting point. Thanks, Quent
