with the hardware i'm running and the available fuel, 900 is a bit more realistic number. injection would be great but i've just about hit the ceiling on my budget for this motor.

i'll be happy to get to 100 real quick. i'm not too interested in going faster than that. But if the boat doesn't get squirrely over 100 mph then i guess any more speed will just be gravy at that point.

hardin- the short block was a ZZ502. i re-used the rods, crank and block. everything else is new now and it dispalces 508.5cid
I added brass freeze plugs to the block. that's all you really need to do to run it as a boat motor.

[Danhercules]

Hey mike, ya got like 8 responces to all the posts, yet no responce to any of the "sticker" jokes. What gives? Its the off season, we need somthin to read!!!:p

[LVjetboy]

Gravy's all good.
I understand top speed not cool to talk about for those "in the know" But true top speed for a lake jet racer actually does tell something important about performance, contrary to the more specialized pro race oriented view. As in: A good measure of lake king satus. For a lake racer what else? Most lake races don't start from idle or a rope...watching the tree. Rather a pull-up-along-side, already well above plane and pump loading speed and give a nod sorta thing? Then whoever pulls ahead is king. In that situation, top speed does give a big clue to acceleration and who'll be king.
In THAT case pump loading not the issue...
In THAT case consistency not the issue...
In THAT case top speed does make sense.
Not always appreciated or even acknowledged by your typical pro racer, or those "in the know." The details of launch, loading, consistency, ET their focus.
Of course if your goal is the organized 1/4 mile, that's a different goal. Go for it. Then tell me about consistency and ET or how fast you get there. Otherwise, top speed's king for most lake jets. And the more gravy the better!
jer

[Moomawnster]

I am no where near you guys in performance but if ya race me it WILL be from a standing start ..... then when ya pull by me half a mile down the lake you can say you won ! ;) ;) ;) :D
I wish ! beautiful motor man , I want a blower but my mechanic won't let me !

[LVjetboy]

You're right, that pull by you after a 1/2 mile is a stretch. :)
But seriously, in a lake race, when you and your potential victim are going the same way up the same canyon, how exactly do you "insist" on that standing start? Not gonna happen. I say, for the most part, it won't happen. You race from alongside at whatever speed you overtake or he overtakes, and usually that's well above plane speed. My experience at least 50 mph.
If you're lake racing from a standing start, then it's probably exiting the bouy's at the marina (not so much standing but close) or at some organize lake race event. If an organized event then you may approach race boat status and goals.
jer

[Moomawnster]

Well , as you put it .... Not gonna happen ! :D If yer gonna run like that then do it for 10 miles or 20 .... 100?

SCAT Crap? Why is that again?
Yeah, the blue bottle is nice. I'm surprised one of you didn't suggest a better head, or something along those lines. I will run a 250 shot, and it will be a plate system. I'll only need it for the first 3-4 seconds I'm guessing, but I will always race someone without the bottle first. Jetaway, no. I think Cyclone got one. I would have to move my intake back one inch, and motor forward a few more, which would then hit my interior, so I would then need to change that too. I would like to have one, but I don't see any plans for one soon. Besides, I don't know how often it happens to you guys out there, but my motor doesn't shut down on it's own. I will be getting a lifeline jacket for sure, and after taking a closer look at the Performance jacket verses the Standard Racing jacket, I'm going with the Standard one.
Blown, you bet your ass they make more HP...

I personally have heard several horror stories of SCAT cranks and rods giving up prematurly. I hope they have revised their QA procedures and tightened up a little but that remains to be seen. Some folks have had great luck with them. Maybe you'll get lucky.
trading safety for interior room:confused: seems reasonable:rolleyes:
as for an unexpected shutdown. yeah it happened to me when a piece of trash clogged the fuel filter, although an unexpected shutdown at 50mph is a lot different than 100mph or so I have heard:eek: now that you have said your engine never shuts down you have ginxed (sp) yourself;)
the direct port injection is much easier to upsize later. I'm sure that DNE bulletproof rig should handle a 500hp shot..:)nitrous is like hp there is never enough.
good luck and be safe. pray that DNE motor never shuts down at WOT.
will the jacket be blue to match the rig also???
Omega

[HBjet]

No, I'm not trading safety for interior room, so while I'm at it, I might as well, get a capsule installed. You know what, I'm going to buy another boat as well, turn it into a rescue boat and hire a professional crew to operate it and follow me around at the river. You know what though, when I'm not in the boat, and just hangout out with some friends, I could get struck by lightning too. **** it, I should just sell the boat all together huh?
I heard the same stories, and they where all old ones. However, I feel confident with Dave's current results with several motors that where built before mine using the same parts.
Yeah, a shut down would suck. I can't believe you had trash in your fuel filter. What was it.... a Newspaper clipping?
As for up sizing, well, we built this motor with nitrous in mind, and a 250 shot here and there will give me that extra HP and still maintain the reliablilty. Yeah, I know, you have never seen that before. Oh, and wouldn't you agree a 500 shot would be a tad too much for my motor to last that long? Although, you would love to see it blow up and say "told ya so". Sorry Omega, this isn't Daves first rodeo!
The jacket will be blue and grey to match...

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

good attitude for safety **** IT!!! I'm gonna have to see if I can get some signs made for work. the trash in my filter was a piece of rubber from the fill hose. it was enough to shut dat bitch down. So I take you use a paint filter when pumping your gas to insure you have no trash in the tank.....
what the hell is this we built the motor crap. Dave built the motor you wrote the check.
as for the 500 shot. your engine has seemed to break the standards in every other way why doubt it's ability to handle above and beyond the norm when it comes to nitrous.
I don't want to see you blow your motor.... especially at WOT. I don't what I would do if I lost my internet buddy;) :p it sure as hell would put a halt to the HBjet fanclub!

[Squirtcha?]

the boat lost its sleeper status after the 1st trip to Lost Lake. after that i had everyone on the water wanting to race.
Not to highjack this already highjack'd thread and surely don't want you to take this the wrong way Mike......................but I'm a little disappointed. The thing I was most impressed with regarding your boat, was the fact that you were doing that kinda speed with a single carb. Not that the blower won't be cool, it's just that speeds like that are expected from blower boats, certainly not single carbed rigs like yours was.
Oh well, still looking forward to seeing the completed project....................again!

[HBjet]

I didn't say "**** It" to safety... I was simply pointing out that I could get hit by lightning too, but the chances are slim. Kinda like getting your fuel filter clogged so fast that your motor will go from running perfect to STOP. All of my lines are fairly new, as well as everything else. I do check my fuel filter every other trip out as well.
Ok, I didn't assemble the motor, Dave did that. But I didn't give Dave a blank check and tell him I want 700hp on 91, call me when it's done! I was just as involved with what parts we where going to use for the motor as you would be building some bad ass DNE spanker out of your garage. One thing I really liked when working with Dave is he did involve you. When something came up, he was on the phone with me with several solutions and I had the choice of what direction we would continue to follow. There was only one part that was purchased for my motor prior to my knowledge of it. That was a new starter because my old started wouldn't clear the new oil pan and it was 2 days prior to the dyno day. I didn't have a problem with that.
So, I didn't just write a check and walk off.... some people do, but not me. Especailly when it's a big check (to me anyway)
Blown, more letters! The more letters you have on a valve cover, the more HP you get from it:D

I'll admit that the shock value of running that fast with only 1 carb was lots of fun. It opened quite a few people's eyes on the river. But I got bored with it and wanted to go faster. I've never built a blower motor and always wanted to, so this has been a fun learning experience. Besides that, blower whine sounds so friggin' cool!!!:D

i was actually serious when i said i didn't want to go too far past 100mph. In the interest of safety i added a jet-a-way but that doesn't guarantee a safe re-entry if the motor ever lets go or someone cuts me off while running wide open. I want to get to 100 as quick as possible and if the boat is happy at any mph past that mark, then cool. Otherwise, I think i'll be happy at that speed. The main thing i wanted to accomplish was being able to run above 90mph without having to strip my boat down and make it lighter. I'd love to be able to run 100 mph knowing that i've got a cool stereo system on board to listen to once i get where i'm going. :D

The main thing i wanted to accomplish was being able to run above 90mph without having to strip my boat down and make it lighter. I'd love to be able to run 100 mph knowing that i've got a cool stereo system on board to listen to once i get where i'm going. :D
make sure you put a belt guard on, kinda ****s up tha day when someone looses their hair.

[cyclone]

got any ideas on how to build a nice one? i was thinking of bending some sheet aluminum and welding it together.

Mine was made out of sheet metal I made a front piece that was bigger in diameter then the pulley, it kinda looked like a triangle with a rounded top, then I had six inch strip bent to match the flat piece and welded it from the inside and had a piece of flat stock welded to it that I screwed to the back of the seat. Just make sure it is big enough that the slack in the belt is not hitting it.http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/19MVC-003bS-med.JPG

Hey Mike,
What are you doing with your old valve train?
The motor looks sweet, should be a rocket.
Good luck,
Clay

I think the jet-a-way was a smart investment. you guys have bridged the gap between lake boat and race boat. It's good to hear you are putting safety at a high priority. It only needs to work once to be worth the investment. pretty cool that you can run the engine without turning the pump too:cool:

still running it. same rockers, pushrods, lifters etc as what was in the motor last season. no sense tossing perfectly good parts after less than 30hrs of use. thanks!

man if i had the cash and the cajones to cut a hole in my transom then i'd add a pop-off valve too. but running the engine without the pump turning alone was worth the investment.

that is a very nice guard. i'll have to find out who made it. i like the slots that are cut into it. I'm not looking for anyone in particular at LL. I just want to have a good time.

Mike,
What about your cam?
Thx,

I was under the impression that they used the same stud girdle as the rolled Darts. If that's the case, you can get one from Dart, or Jomar, probably others.
Have fun and be safe with that new toy!

You up on your plug reading? start fat and underdriven.

[Cs19]

Lookin good cyclone! Glad to hear your going with an intercooler. Im surprised to hear your not running it on the dyno though.
I also know of a fabricator in costa mesa who can fab up a cover for you, he does top notch stuff.. Hes about a mile from MPD, let me know if you need a number. Cs19

[1slowboat]

looks sweeeeet cyclone, glad your all about safety on this one..lots of peps want to go fast and dont think about safety..:D
keep up the good work, and post some more progress pics.

ya pm me that number. i dont trust my TIG welding skills enough to tackle that project. besides, i own zero sheetmetal tools either.

Cyclone the motor looks good.Is that one of johns coolers?Lightning mfg (lighning headers)makes a nice blower guard.They are in elsinore.The jetaway is a smart choice.Lets see some more pics of your tundra.

damn mike...if that thing gets any taller...your gonna have to fig a way around wind drag! lol
looks grea bro!

i dont think i have any new pics of the tundra other than the ones from glamis.

&happy b-day...sorry could not get over there for the bowling thing! looked like you guys had a great time!

[Cs19]

Back seat might need a notching too. This ones done nicely.
I like this cover, its clean looking and pretty basic.
http://home.comcast.net/~jamcclure1/CP19/CP19_open_bow4.jpg

[cyclone]

that's along the lines of what i was thinking of making. i have plenty of room to move the engine cover forward and notch it for the belt guard. It'd be nice if i could just have the upper half fabbed to fit into my existing lower pulley cover.

[MikeF]

I can't see how those larger fuel tanks are gonna make the next trip to the fuel dock any longer!:p :D

Looking good Mike!

Cyclone: This was mentioned way back but i noticed you where in fullerton. I'm not too far from you (about 30-35 min) but theres a 76 Station about 25 min from you (in el toro/lake forest area) that sells 105 Octane fuel from the pump. probably not worth it for you to drive all that way just to fill your tanks.

i need to devise a way to curb my driving habits. something like every time i'm sitting at the sandbar and get the urge to drive the boat, someone poors a beer down my throat. that'll keep me from getting behind the wheel so often. :D

maybe not for every trip but there will be an occasion when i'll need it. thanks for the info. the station by my house stopped selling it last year.

What are the major cross streets to the station?

From what I have heard 76 has stopped making all forms of race gas.

Mike, you got thoes blower pullies on backwards. The small one goes on the blower, and the big one goes on the crankshaft.:D But if your still looking for race gas, pm me. I can hook you up with a place that will even deliver it to you for free.
Brian

[Cs19]

I wasn't aware that 76 station in Lake Forest sold 100 out of the pump. I know there is one in Newport Beach and one off Imperial Highway that sells it, atleast used to ...The stuff they sell out of the pump is 100 octane w/ no lead.
Hbjet, it's a local guy who boats below lost lake. Its a 19 cp gullwing bowrider. It's very clean, and from what I understand the owner did most of the work himself.

WOW cyclone - that has got to be the second prettiest motor I have ever seen. just kidding bro - she looks great and I'm sure she'll run hard as hell.

thanks for the offer, brian. when the time comes ill hit you up for it. oh and the pulley's are on correctly. I don't need tons of boost to pass your ass on the river. :eek!: :D

[Bense468]

I just bought (6) 5 gallon gas cans of 76 race gas for Glamis this weekend. They are sitting in my garage at home. So unless you know something I don't they still sell it.

[cyclone]

big proppa- you win my vote for tallest motor in town! how soon until you're ready to drag the trailer back out to big river?

[flat broke]

The 76 in Mission Viejo at La Paz and the 405 has the juice. I think its only on one or two pumps, but they DO have it. I haven't checked the prices lately, but around christmas it was running just under $3/gallon

Yes, they are still selling it, but Unical Oil Co. has stopped manufacturing/refining high performance gasoline. I am sure there are still suppliers that have gas, but when that runs out its all over. Hense why 76 got out of nascar.

[Big Proppa]

Their is a place off of the 10 freeway and cedar avenue in bloomington that sells race gas at the pump, or fill your own drum, or buy a new drum. Alot of options I think from 100 to 114 octane.
Also the 76 station on foothill blvd in rancho cucamonga 2 blocks west of haven off of the 10 also has 110 in 5's and 100 at the pump.

[Hotcrusader76]

Going with a belt drive fuel pump? Awesome. Which one are you going with?

[Hotcrusader76]

nevermind....I think that was BP's motor:D
