egbrig's 66e twin pipe blaster 1

I also move the water fittings to work with the new orientation of the pipes. Here are some pics of the intake I made. I used a Boyesen intake and cut it then welded it to a plate. I used a 3/8 th thick steel plate to keep the manifold from warping while it was being welded. Of course I had to do a little milling on it to make sure it was flat.

Thats the getting the pipes into the hull. I will tell you that I got some good advice from Tim Judge on setting up the engine. He kept me from doing a couple of things that would have been bad.
 
Here are the pics of the pto pipe. If you look at the headers you will see that the silver one has a different angle on the flange o-ring. I cut the lord mount off and welded on one where it fit when I aligned it on the head mount I made. On the convergence pipe I cut and rotated the mid point. I welded on a lord mount flange to where it aligned most easliy to the hull.


I didn't know you welded? :rolleyes:

I have used a welder Joey, it was yours but thanks for saving me from myself. TJ suggested a timing curve and gave me some domes that would not seize my engine. You can only go so high in the compression with the twin pipes. And yes Adam TJ does not like the 66e engine but I bet my entire engine costs less than your cylinder.

Hey Erik by any chance are you going to have your twin pipes out of your hull anytime soon? I just came up with a killer idea for a chamber and it's one of Joe's chamber. If he decides to sell it to me I'd like to see if it would work first.

The cool thing is the only way I think it would work is with a slant style motor like yours. So if you plan on taking your pipes off for something let me know so we can see if Joe's chamber will fit on it.

Thanks!
 
I've got my entire boat apart. I have a mockup engine I use so its no problem. Whats your idea, I'm up for it. What exhaust manifold are you planning on using?
 
Just an update. I put the engine in a mod hull that I was going to race. I travel 100% of the time so my time home is very limited. I wanted to finish the boat to race at the Lake Anna race in Va. but due to various issues I was not able to finish in time. Here are a couple of pics. I now have a side draft setup and am relocating the battery to the aft end of the boat to where it will sit ontop of the pump with an access panal.

what sort off compression can you go to with a twin pipe set up . i have a gp 800 with twin pipes in it and was going to bump up the compression on it

Very beautiful blaster. The motor/pipe setup is awesome. I wish someone would make another run of the mod B1 hulls.
