ohw i did not now that!

nice nice....

but still not enough power??

i think its stupid to put nos on that engine....

the ar realy exspensive and you will kill it very soon...

take the engine bring it to a tuner or tune it selve...

make some changes....

very simple i think...

i dont know how the engine is from inside....

maybe make your exhaust nice without xtreme bends and ribble's...

realy straight connections....

the flow is realy important....

regards

roots style blower would not work unless it was mounted on the side of the engine. and those mini v8 engines are liek 4 times the size of ours. the blower is actually bigger then the motor itself.

it would have to be mounted on the side of the engine, then a belt ran from under the pullstart, to the blower. or form a pulley mounted from behind the collet assembly, to the blower. behind the collet would be best, but mounting the blower to the motor, then getting the carb on would add size to the side of the motor and weight to one side of the boat.

I can appreciate that you may think it is stupid to use NOS on the Blata but I was just sharing a plan. I certainly am not encouraging others to do the same.

I know enough about setting up a motor and a boat. It is just going to be an experiment. Only way to see is to see for myself.

i say that is stupid couse you gonna kill the engine.... but its your engine and your boat...

but it is possible to do that and it works well...

but in my eyes is it just wast of money but maybe in your eyes just fun...

i'am an guy with a small pocket.... i can affort big boats.. with huge and powerfull engines... so i think its waste of your engine... but hey.....! your thing..

one thing i now....

its gonna work and realy fast!!!

regards arjan

ps.. ill hope your understand

Arjan - I do understand. Dont worry. It is good advice for someone who is starting out.

I would like to find more info on the I.M.P motors. Do you know of a website?

I agree with Believe it they are safe on a motor if you know how to tune it,the bottom end of a zenoah is very good and I think it will more than handle it.Just like Watta said also you can not be a fool with it
