Before... and eventually after....

[Blackmagic94]

Chris made a custom hose with a splitter that goes off the jet and feeds the motor

Can you post a pic

I run a water hose to the engine and a second hose just shooting backwards at the nozzle to get some water on it

Yeah. I will today after work when I go back over there.

Angry is right

Thanks for that

How fast has this thing gone in the past and what is the goal of the boat now, super cool project.

My good fuck

Lol, I agree! Wow! I love a clean boat that gets even cleaner. Great job on the rigging, colors, everything. Would a big ol' PSI make a big difference on a motor like yours? I see the blower has the "Pro-Loc" sticker on it, is that a change in rotor design? What hp and boost are you running?

Sorry for the questions!

117 with the old 540, with this motor good question... goal is to have something different that no one else has

A psi would be badass but I can't afford it, they take much less power to spin than a roots does. My blower is custom built inside with custom rotors. Spike said right now about 29 lbs of boost with the new injector, but we are going to lower that obviously, last time on the dyno was 1313hp.

Wow! I can't believe you can run so much boost on a roots! My 564's were right at 12psi I think.

Great job again

No Jetaway on that thing? The main reason I installed mine is so that I can run the motor without spinning the pump.

Nice job on the rebuild! Beautiful....

Your Boat is beautiful . The injected Blown engines are sexy . I am finishing up my project also .

Spike is going to make me a custom spline like he had on his fuel boat, just not sure when yet, lol

Be careful with that winger at those numbers. They are tricky on touchdown should a catastrophic failure happen on the big end. I’d have both a ratchet and blow off.

Beautiful boat and should be a ton of fun with the updates. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.

So, are there 2 water feeds from the pump to the motor?

Believe me I agree, it's getting all that in the off season, for now it's just a cruiser family boat...

Yeah, both regulated, one for the motor, one for the chiller....

That’s fast I’ve only been low 70s in my rig and I can’t image another 40 on top of that.

Step it up! Go to injection...

Meh. I like having one toy that isn’t efi. I just changed the impeller to a new cut to gain some mph and now that I got a different wideband installed I can lean out the carb. I’m hoping for mid to upper 70s at the same boost at the river next time out and 80 plus on the 9 psi blower pulley. Nothing like your setup but not bad for what was a NA 468 that was from the old owner

Ummm, I meant mechanical, not efi

That’s the debate I’m having with myself on my vdrive project. Whether to go carbs or a hat. It’s almost a toss up cost wise, just a matter of what’s more “drivable” for a play boat. Your setup definitely is on point.

There is Chris. Tell him that RogerThat said Hi. He knows who I am when I see him, but I don't know if he knows my name.

Have spike build and set up your system, he's the best in the business...

Saw it from across the river. Had no way to get over to see you or the boat. We stopped In To watch the mayhem

 

[BigRedBryan]

She ran great, I need larger pulley to slow my blower down tho...

How fast? How much boost and what blower and % of drive?

 

[BigRedBryan]

I didn't GPS it, but the way it is now is 32% over, which is almost 30lbs, I didn't run it hard whatsoever

 

[Blackmagic94]

Hahahaha now that is the full gusto

I said many times that your boat and set up is off the charts nice! Question; Is the drive pulley and idler pulley something someone carries in stock somewhere or did you self designed and fabricate it yourself to turn the blower around? If you don’t mind sharing? I’ve always wanted a lower river jet boat with a blown BBC in it but never liked the blower belt and pulleys so close to the back seat. Seems real dangerous if one of the ladies has long hair! Thanks!

Corey at B&G designed the rear plate, BDS custom built the blower and reversed everything inside of it. I can send you some detailed pictures of it later if you'd like?

Heard and then saw your son idling that beast through the channel last weekend. Looks and sounds awesome!

Here are a few older dirty pics, I'll take some more when I put the new oil line on tomorrow.

What’s the logic on running the blower drives on the rear vs front

Less chance of getting hair/body parts caught up in the belt drive, methinks [emoji106]
