1000 hp ???

[SKRAMER]

What the most hrs ever gotten out of 1000hp. Is it unlikely to see 200hrs or are you luck to see 100hrs?? I know it depends how hard you are on them.. But on an average scale mostly cruising and moderate WOT. What can be had. Thanks Scott

[catastrophe]

I never pushed past 120 and that was with top end done at 90.

But mine were used hard. 200...never.

100 is safe.
Never wanted to blow anything up in the very short boating season up here, or your whole season is pooched.

This should generate some interesting answers !?!?!?!?

[Check300]

We're making quite a bit more than 1000 and usually get 160 to 180 hrs. At that point we freshen the valve train.

How long are you going on bottom-end refresh?

I've got about 250 hrs on bottom end of 830's and will proably do a full refresh this winter. I did the tops about 130 hrs.

I don't run hard.

Brad Smith has 90 hours on these 1140s in a 36 Skater that has run 90% of their lives at 6500+ rpms. Has done nothing to them other than run the valves twice.

Welcome. Heck of a first post....:sifone:

What boat and where??????

[Twin27Advantage]

Good to see you here check300!

It is a 30 checkmate, single #6, with a big turbo motor. Bilge looks like the space shuttle.

One of the many fast gun lake guys.

See you at hot boat!

[Twin27Advantage]

Wont see to many like this...

[Ratickle]

I was looking at it Friday. Now I hear they're trying for more power. Never enough for Tom, never........

Yep from the same guys that swear they get 25 mpg in their 4WD diesel pick-ups on 38's chipped with 700 hp/1000 lbs of torque while towing their 40 foot boat on a steel trailer uphill both ways, full of fuel, camping gear, 400 cases of beer, 8 people in it and 500 feet of heavy duty chain aboard for their 800 lb anchor.........:icon_bs:

Thats why I took mine to him.

Ok not NEAR that much power. :sifone:

Topic!!

Topic!!

Let me see if Ben has some time to take a peek. He maintains several boats with around that much HP.

[Check300]

It is the one at Ben's shop. Completely new setup than the picture that Todd posted. Back to the topic.... We've always run a wild cam that is pretty hard on the valve train. The bottom end has always looked like new when we've done a refresh. the crank has over 500 hrs. at over 1200 hp and has never been turned or even polished. Turbos are very easy on the bottom end.

Depends really on 3 things: How well it's built (not so much assembly as engineering), If it's mechanical or hydraulic, and how hard it's run. I've seen mechanical roller motors done at 50HRS and go as long as 200 or longer with a top end job in there somewhere. Hydraulic valvetrain can normally last longer(200-500HRS) but if it's wound ALL the time, the rings could also be done at 50 HRS. Every engine has a certain number of "load cycles" or "horsepowers" in it. Depending on how many you use per hour can influence the total life of the motor greatly. Just my 2cents -Ben
