Looks Awsome!!
Jr.

When you decide to get a real boat, let me know...:D

Kick ass ride my friend...those vents oughta be to you any day now.

Well the fun begins.

Tunning the engines in the boat.


We ran her Thursday. First season run!

Jetting is way off. Way to fat!
The Primary Power valves are open all the time.
This is due to the PSI making boost as soon as you
open the throttle.

The P/V is boost referenced.
Jetting is 86 primary with PV. Secondaries 96 with PV plugged.
1-1 linkage
The carbs are side saddle.
When standing behind the boat on the trailer the exhaust pipe
on the side of the engine which has the Pv,s (primarys)
are wicked black.
Plugs reveal the PSI is favoring the rear cylinders big time.
makes sense if ya notice the discharge of the blowers.
(Pie Shape)
May have to stagger jets leaning rears and riching fronts.

One engine went to 240 on the water temp:eek:
Forgot the IR gun at the shop. I felt the head it was Hot
to the touch.
Had 24lbs water pressure on that engine.
I shut it down then it cooled right down and took it
easy back to the dock.

I will pull the water pump make sure the impellers
didnt throw a blade.
I am not sold on dedicating one stage for the intercooler.
I will feed both stages of the waterpump back to the engine.
I will put the feed for the intercooler back on the
Sea strainer.

This worked last season.

Why didnt ya just leave things alone?
This was the ? all my friends ask.

I replied. if I bought a brand new boat the first thing I
would do is tear it down to make it faster!:drink:

The boat looks great!

It would take all the fun out of it if it was perfect the first time out!:D

Boat looks awesome man!!

Jerry

With the one to one linkage do u think are better off without the powervlaves?

86 primary and 96 secondary sounds like is about right. Is that a 1090?

Gerry,

Paint turned out beautiful, Boat Rocks! :drink:

Cougarman

Jerry..........just trust me!:D Boat looks Great brother!! We'll get the engines dialed in dude! Don't Worry be Happy!:drink:

Thanks Everyone for all the roses!:drink:



1090,s
Yes I plugged the PV considering it makes boost the second ya open the throttle.

Took the alchol needle and seats out they were dripping a little.
Running the .130 vitons now.

Ran it again still way to fat.
I think blower speed is a little slow also.

I am back to progressive linkage and jetting is
92 94 94 96 secondarys no p/v
86 88 88 90 primarys no p/v

Timing 32 locked.

I went back to running both stages of the pump to the engine
and force feeding intercooler off the Sea strainer.


Will make another run maybe Wednesday.

Looks Great I forgot to tell you. Best of luck.

Looks Awesome!

Absolutely, the best thread ever, but maybe 703's next :eek: guys see turbine 101 too ! :ernaehrung004:

We have been toying with idea.:cool:

Ya must have had to wipe the dust off this one!


I kinda liked it all white.:eek:
I gotta admit nothing sounds like a PSI Blower Motor
riding on the chip.

You have done a great job...I't is refreashing to see someone bringing a project back to life.

ya do-in a last fall run ? also ck.out add#25773 OSO classifieds ck.the tilt trl. under misc. cats :cool:

Ran like a champ Expected life 30 hours.

New TURBINES Expected life 3000 hours:drink:

Well I did read every page. All that talk about pistons then BOOM seven months later you've got turbines. What happened, why did you all of a sudden rip the piston motors out and put the turbines in??

Don't get me wrong...I KNOW you made the right decision...but you could have sent the boat to Turbine Marine in the beginning and saved a LOT of trouble. I know Arruda's not cheap, but he is arguably the best turbine man in the business. He has reconfigured almost every system of the Lycoming for Marine use. Just one question Gerry; are the starters on top or the bottom of the engines?

On the bottom... I can get at them aswell
SCS makes the top mount.

I ran it with pistons for two years.

Send the boat To Turbine Marine. Sorry all set bro!:eek:.
Thats for people with unlimited resources.

I know i can be a Todd.
I enjoy working on my Tub more then running it.:eek:

The whole reason I display the detail is I want
People to realize that really anyone with some
mechanical knowledge can do this.
Rigging pistons or Turbines.
Sources for all the equipment required for Turbines
are available over the counter.

Oh yeah and plenty of fridge in the beer goes a long way.
Its not what you spend its what you get;)

Well now you've got a very fast and reliable boat. Not everyone can say that in the same sentence. Paint is awesome too.

Sweet thread!!

So it got pistons yanked and turbines it in now??

Never saw any speeds....

Boat looks great, that must have been fun to build!!!

137.9 gps at approx. 82% n-2, now you can go figure the top !

hmmm 2005 now 2019 Wow

yeah buddy and lots of kerosene and beer!!!!
