Thats awsome, why you ask, why bloody not, the thing would scream, I went in one years ago with a pos 4 cyl na which was pretty fast, would sound sweet to opened up.

if that thing sinks i think i'd cry....

well der car boats have been done before... half of the asian boats are made like this....

But has anyone seen a 2jz with a big single top mount on it before on a dodgey boat like this? I think not

Is it just me or does that boat look like a prime candidate for filling with water the first time he nails the throttle?

I've run up and down many rivers in Asia (especially Thailand) (and in the ocean occasionally) on boats like this... they go like stink in a straight line, expescially the big ones on Mae Naam Chao Phraya that can seat about 20 people... but because the direction of push from the propeller is centered in the motor about 1m above the waterline, they have to stop and just edge the boat a little bit at a time to turn it... when they get it pointed where they want it, the drop the prop back into the water, open the taps, and they go like stink...

So any little runabout would eat them, since they can't turn, but they are great fun... kinda reminds me of all of the pussy drag cars, racing means cornering :D ...

BTW, they are generally built like this because of the shallow draft, and because there is usually a lot of floating weeds in the river, so they can easily lift to prop out of the water to clear it...

ya but the 2jz is still more reliable than 2 F440 engines lol....

Why the hell would you waste those engines on an ugly red boat?

Because you have that much money you have weird dreams and then go "you know what, im going to get some one to build that". lol.

Also millionairs have Ferrari's, other millionairs have big boats, then there is billionaires that build ferrari boats.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
