I'm guessing the lambo motor is for a boat!

enzo250

Yeah.. I'm putting EFI on it..
It's an old lambo 804 Marine Race Engine.

What is that engine out of Enzo? It looks like the engine in my friends 1969 Lamborghini Mura.

Wow your friend is a lucky guy

Enzo how hard is it to tune a 150+mph Cigarette boat? do you tune it on an engine dyno or in the water? I always wondered about engine load or lack there of, whenever the prop leaves the water.. I know the throttle man has to keep track of that, but how does that affect your tune?

enzo250

All engines are tuned on an engine dyno first. we map every cell on the dyno and when it leaves the engine dyno it's 95% tuned. the other 5% is done on the water. The idle and shifting are areas the dyno can't simulate. These boats are offshore pleasure boats yet they use fire breathing race engines. So we have to fine tune those areas in the water. We also make sure the WOT is good and it usually is but sometimes we touch it up just a bit..

As for engine load in the water the engine is under the most load it will ever see. They say if an engine survives in a boat it will survive anywhere.

The boats normally require two people to pilot it. One guy on the steering and the other on the throttles. And yes if your not in the water the throttle guy has to come off the throttle or you'll have a broken drive...

Here's a video of me tuning a race boat at over 190mph...
Enjoy it as it will be the last time i ever go that fast in a boat as i'm not getting in that thing next month when they try to go 203mph..

I'm in the back right seat...

It's a purpose built marine engine. They didn't use it in any cars as it probably wouldn't fit into any of them. You need to see this thing in person. It's F---in Huge..

It's an 1984 engine.
Here's some more info about them:

Dem that video was sick.... Power boat racing is very big in Trinidad and most of our boats compete in PR and the caribbean.. My father was involved with boats when I was younger, so I always had a facination with them..

Every summer we have a big race call the "Great Race" and its from one island to the next.. All the big boys pull out their multi-million dollar toys for this one

I have always loved old school Japanese 2-strokes. I have had 2-500cc kawi triples, 2-750 kawi triples, and a 350 triple. The newest bike i ever owned is an 85 GpZ 750 turbo . I guess you could say i like alternate modes of transportation
