hydroplane

i just fell over a lexus v8 site lucifer, i think its called lextreme. the site is totally devoted to the toyota v8. you probably already know about it but just thought you might want to know.

lucifer the more i think about the way your going about your deal, the more i think its the right way to go.

I've seen the lexus V8 used in a few hydro's now and they go ok. You will need to play with the gear ratio and prop a bit to get it sorted but should pull 100 + mph.

It may turn out to be that ghostbuster you are looking for.

from what i can gather,these jap v8s area good thing.Everyones use en em,from hot rodders to street machiners to drag racing.With an almost bullet proof bottom end and a valve train to match these things should rev their little brains out.I cant wait to see it in the hydro.

the dizzy allmost done a sawrnoff holden v8 hei hangin off the left front timing gear

now back to the inlet manifolds a 4 bl or a pair of 2 bl is tempting but i think i will persist with the bike ones 40mm id flat slides off a 01 r1 yamaha the inlet ports in the head are 40mm and the ex are 35mm so if i make some long extractors
hardest thing will be geting the jets right

sorry lucifer,when you start talking bikes you have lost me
but i will try to do my research.Well done on the dizzy,good idea to use
holden.get em anywhere in pinch if you have to.

I've been down in the garage again. Did some more sanding. Its looking better each time I work on it.

hey lucifer, hows the quad cam goin.

getin dusty i been real busy workin on a truck i got.all but done for now so back to the boat in the next few weeks hope to get the carbys sorted.

Whats goin on flat sellin the beast ?

yeah mate,might get myself a hydro next.

I run a lexus in my Hydro,
It runs 9000 RPM all day.
After the Holdens sometimes the lexus is a little bit boring (a good boring) as I just get out and walk away after a race. Mines injected and we plug the computor in now and again to check the tune but thats about it. It self tunes every 40 seconds!
I have put 1 set of plugs in it since I put it in the boat 2 years ago.
The only thing is they are like a 4.2 out of the turnes a bit doey but once the wind up they go well.
