Crazy new motor

[J Industries]

This motor is from mercury racing for marine applications. The biggest problem with marine applications is that there can be an extremely high load at WOT for extended periods of time. This motor is QOHC with 4 valves per cylinder. 9.0L and twin turbo. The turbos have water cooled turbine housings. It doesnt run a whole lot of boost but also has a 1 year complete warranty. It makes 1350 HP and similar TQ and spins to 6500. It was built from the ground up for this specif application.

Check it out and tell me what you think.

Holy crap that's a sick motor but 120K? I would love to ride in boat that had that thing in it.

I would build a boat that could fly for that costs. No thanks

There are many boats out there with 2 of these in it. One of them ( a 35' DCB M35) was up my way last month. At the shoot out in havasu it went somewhere around 180

There is a Nortec (I think) that is a 52' super cat that has 4 of them. When you buy the motor you have the option to buy the matching out drive. Total package 200k each.

With these they do fly.

i think for 120K i could have a nice boat and 3 badass ls motors that made more then 1350 hp combined.

LS motors burn oil when ran over 4k rpms for extended periods of time which isn't ideal for boats.

Them mercs been in the works for years. Gm/merc designed all the 4 valve stuff going on with it. There is a 28 eliminator with 2 cam only 5.3's in it that runs about 110.

3500 to 4000 is typical cruse rpm in a performance boat. And they could be sitting there for a few hours if heading off shore. And to top that off that is usually at 50-65% throttle position. So there is a decent load all the time. There are also a few boats running the LSA motors.
