Anybody have an approximate fuel flow per minute for a given size engine, say a 454 or 502 making 500 HP, 750 HP and 1000 HP with the RPM?
I am working with a tech from Aquamist in England to put something together for boats and they have no experience with boats it seems as you can read below.
I am new to boat engines. I need help from you and so far you have provided me with the information I need. I can now work of a system that might be suiyable for your aplication. I have a few questions:
1) Duration of the run, like a poker run
2) Approximately the fuel flow per minute, lbs/min will do.
3) ambient temperature.
4) any intercooler for force induced type?
5) Horse power in your particular application.
I do not have any real world data for the boat, I have have onr for a real race plane? ;-)

My response may not be suitable for the context of the discussion, I can only speak in general terms. You can post our company's name is you like but without my name if possible.
