Re: Diesel Outboard

They only weigh 90# or so more than the 300hp Verados. So it doesn't sound to bad

What I would need to see is the Air/Water intercooler which wouldn't have to be huge, but if they are turbocharging without an intercooler they are losing probably 30% or more power. I don't see any way an Air/Air intercooler would work on this design. Also the water pump would have to be majorly upgraded since it would have to feed a a/w intercooler as well as the motor.
I can get 1000 hp out of a Duramax v8 but there is quite a trade off in fuel consumption and engine life.
Why isn't there a pic with the cowl off? I can tell you why.........You would see the spark plugs I can't believe anyone is buying this.
For about 50 bucks at a graphics shop I can show you a 750 hp, hydrogen intercooled diesel outboard that looks just like a Suzuki 4 stroke.
