Duramax diesel X-80 Re Power has begun. Forum help needed.

[barefoot]

That thing is just BaD A&&! I'm envious of people that can do this. Figuring out how to put a diesel in a boat, converting it to a marine application, and pulling it off is impressive. My hats off to you guys!

[Skipper]

That is incredible! What kind of horse power and torque do you think you'll get out of it? How does that compare to the gasoline engines that come standard in that boat?

This should make around 350 HP and 600 ftlbs. It's capable of a lot more but we are really looking for economy. We will turn it up once everything has been tested.

Call OJ Props and tell them what you are doing. I'm pretty sure Eric will work with you on loaners.

10-4, just talked to Eric. We will be running the 14.75x17.5 we already have to get some base line #s to go by.

Eric at OJ is great but I would give the guys a call at Acme. That X-80 would love one of their new 15" props. A 15x15.75 or 15x17.75 would work very well or they will have better suggestions. Plus they have more cup sizes to try.

I just tried one of their 15" props and it is outstanding.

Try as many cup sizes as you can, that's my motto.

I'm happy with anything at or above the double D range.

Fuel system is near completion. We modified the OE sending unit and pick up, it turned out pretty cool and should work very well submerged in diesel. The tried, true, and popular Airdog DF-165 fuel system has been mounted and plumbed.

Exhaust system finished up today. Chris with Alpine design put the TIG welder in overdrive. Got the exhaust and inter cooler pipes finished up. We will be using the factory exhaust ports with this stainless masterpiece.

Holy hell.. I would love to see this run!
