Schiada motor almost done!

[SFV2RVR]

He is probably to busy working on it. I know he was trying to have it done for my b-day weekend.

I talked to ross at designer marine(LC) and he was trying to have it done by thurs. but its not lookin to good. He says its lookin more like sat, which means i'll already be at the river! I'm having the new hatch made, so im sure thats why its taking longer than we thought. The good news is i'll still be at the river for RB'S b-day! :beer And I should have the boat done by the next weekend.

It never works out the way you want it to. But it will be done right so what's one more weekend?

It sucks, but it will be worth the wait.

Tell Ross to hurry the hell up. Nice work doing the hatch, you'll like it...

It always is. I know I would kill right now to have mine done as well.

its definetely more practical with a hatch, but damn I hate covering all that money I spent!

Especially with all of this bad ass river weather as of lately. Im sure going to the races in parker this weekend are not going to help me out, watching all those boats hotrod around the river!

And the great news is...without you having your boat there you can :beer:beer:beer more

Here are some pics of the new hatch, and a shot at the new dash and gauge layout w/ billet switch panel.

Came out nice...

Very nice...

 

[SFV2RVR]

Im pretty happy with it.

 

[River Lynchmob]

Looks sweet. Congrats

Looks Sweet Mark!!! Are you worried about lack of airflow to the motor at all? (possibly costing you HP?) Or can air go in through the sides of the pedestal for the back seat? If it's just those eyelits on the hatch, where does the blower vent out too?

I think it will get plenty of air with just those eyebrows in the hatch. The blower vents out of the billet vent in front of the gas fill on the side of the boat.

I think you might need more air than that. ...

what else can I do? There is not a whole lot of options. its gonna be fine!

You'll do great with that. You get a bit more power with the hatch off but I doubt you'll be running around above 5K all day long... Jeff's Schiada pulled harder with the hatch off but his ran fine with that setup.

I think you'll be fine, the SR22 runs pretty dame good and would draw a lot more air than your motor and it has no openings in the hatch at all.

Did I tell you I met the new owner of Jeff's boat over at Carons last week. The motor is all in pieces, he's putting on larger turbos and had to have a few parts made.

 

[Mondorally]

Any chance that is psychological? I'm sure you can hear more goin' on with the hatch off. Just wondering out loud. I know with my two motorcycles - the loud one seems faster...... but probably isn't!

I'd look to the rear seat for air.. Under the rear seat, or to the sides of the pedestal for the rear seat? Or perhaps something so simple as some billet vents in the pedestal on the front, and in the engine bay on the back. If you actually want to know is it's enough air or not, with some basic measurements I can find out for you.

All I need to know is the displacement of the motor.. Boost your running at approxmately what RPM and the opening sizes of the eyelits..

There was attention taken to that interior to allow as much air as possible to enter the engine bay, and it's still not enough. (Still runs harder with the hatch off)

Not just psychological.. Just simple math, and very simple tests..

The most simplest of tests would be to put a couple of sensitive vacuum guages in the engine bay, and around the intakes of the turbo's.. If their pulling vacuum at all, then you can pick up some free HP, and faster spool times just by allowing it to breath better.

Absolutely. Anytime I run anybody else's turbo boat I'm just about as happy as I can get Gotta love those hairdryers...

Built a hatch over my old V drive Hallet with turbos and couldn't tell the diff but this is a better motor package....

We could mess with him and tell him to face the scoops forward for better HP, Like the K boat guys...

There are no openings in the SR22. it's as tight as a drum. I talked to Carson when he rode in it without the hatch it was at 110 at 5400. with full interior it was 110 at 5700. I honestly think thats Mark's will be fine. But that's ust my .02

I think what you're saying is if the turbos are sucking the engine bay dry......... cut a bigger hole?

As a finance major I do dig the math. I once compared the total area of all the holes on my Rex mufflers - probably 40 0.5" holes versus a straight 4" to see if it was choking it up or not.....

Thats why mine is getting no interior :thumbsup

Less Hatch = More S.......

Crap, Melissa will never let me drive my 22' again!

 

[River Lynchmob]

Polishing Queen...

Who you callin a queen?

I'll have to hire a queen. Gene Welter had a guy that use to come over and clean the whole thing up for like $125 i'll do it most of the time but the times you may have had a little too much...i'll keep that number close

Yes but getting ready to head down to have some sushi for Bill's b day.

You have to be able to get at least one in...especially the one you throw together at the last min

Actually, now that I think about it...the seat base under the back seat doesnt go all the way across, so air will go in on each side.

Put some vents in the rear carling to help it through...:thumbsup

I've never seen the boat in person, but just read what the guys that built it wrote.. :hmm

So having the hatch on or off the boat, effects the aerodynamics enough to affect the prop slip on the boat?

Jeff got the motor hot and he had a guy down in Canyon Lake go through the motor. The last build wasn't Carson...

I'm sure it affects aerodynamics but not sure if it would to affect prop slip. I believe you are supposed to figure about 10% slip for a v drive.

 

[RiverDave]

Well if your running the same speed and 2 different RPM's then that's different prop slips? The extra drag might be due to weight, or decreased aerodynamics, but ultimately is comes back to a slip factor?
