Well, I had a bit of a set back and had to pull the motor only to just put it back in. I forgot to install the block off plate when I removed the Corsa exhaust. Well the motor is back in and I made some progress this weekend. Cleaned up all the wiring, mounted the Mercathode to the transom, mounted and installed the intercooler, fit the intercooler piping and got both pipes ready for powder coating.

 

I still have to mount and run all the lines for the catch can, intercooler dump, finish the headers and powder coat a few things. I'm hoping to fire it up next weekend.

It's so close :D There are only a few small things left to finish before tuning begins. I'm looking forward to firing it this week and having it on the water for the first time this season next weekend.

My headers turned out really good.

I guess it's time for new lug nuts.

That poor bravo is going to explode... Looking good can't wait to see it run !

 

I'm hoping I can keep it alive for awhile. A lot of it is how you drive the boat, smooth on the sticks and keeping the rpms under 3k when getting on plane should help.

Easy on the sticks haha! I'll agree it does help to an extent, the heavier the boat the harder on the drives too. Problem is mercury doesn't make anything worth a damn that's middle of the pack. The XR bravos are a little stronger but unless you step up to a #6 it's scary with anything over 600 to the prop. This thread is making me want to redo my motor for some more speed, but this damn boat shit is too expensive . Better off buying a bigger boat with the bigger power in it! Get this thing in the water already wanna hear it scream.

It should fire tonight, I have a few things I want to change with the fuel delivery and I still need to install the catch can a long with my boost and wideband gauge.

 

I can't wait to hear it run.

 

My next boat will come with bigger power, it's so much work to change anything on a boat, everything feel likes it's a custom and I find myself redoing and moving things around a lot of they have already been installed.

:lol:

 

 

Better question is when are you going to take the solnoids off the camaro and throw a few hits of nitrous on this boat??

 

" Do you wanna go fast" ?

 

Likely after I walk him at 75+ :fuckyeah:

 

 

The boat doesn't need spray, all I have to do is change pullies. Keith let me know when you run faster than 61. :lolguy:
