Mercury Racing's New Turbocharged Engines Unveiled

[BraceYourself]

The way it sounded they didn't want to send the $ on R&D. Once they saw the finish/tested prioduct they decided to go with it. This is going to change performance boating. Imagine a 2 year warranty on a 1350 hp. That is unheard of. If Mercury is willing to stick their neck out for a full year, Obviously these motors are bullet proof!!

I agree. Sign me up once they work the bugs out!

I have to assume they are closed cooling, Correct?

Emissions

As I understand it, according to Kiekhaefer, it meets EPA, CARB and EU standards.

Not too shabby.

Close, Matt. Actually, EPA and CARB only. EU is not done yet. I was told the CO limits are a real difficult challenge.

 

[Matt Trulio]

Correct, correct. I misquoted Kiekhaefer. Checked my notes. (Sorry Fred.)

Also somewhere in my reporting on this engine, I said it had a two-year warranty. It has a one-year warranty.

And I knew that. I can't explained why I typed "two." Wishful thinking, maybe.

Just want to keep the record straight.

They are closed cooling.

So when is Ilmor bringing out their Bishop rotary valve heads for the V10 and make that 32 poppet valve engine look a bit old fashioned???

Where do you get the stainless braid hose WITH the stainless fitting?

Whats the latest.

Why can't a #6 work with that set up?

In testing they tried the #6 and they had problems twisting the internal shafts because of the huged torque increase.

?? They did come out with the m8 drive for the new motor unless I'm missing something?

Looks like the Detroit Diesel 8.2 but a whole lot lighter.
