    This is amazing! how is the alpha 1 drive holding up with the power? also, how did you do the cut out for the gear selectors?

    Fabulous conversion, literally Bravo. How is she running six years later?
  • Sounds awesome and moves along quite fast.. great job.I have been wanting to do a similar set up myself, where I live alpha1 drives are common and are easily obtainable with worn out gas engines. I was wondering what info you had on the Alpha1. what gear ratio is it and what prop or props are you running? any info you can tell me really. Thank you.
  • Very nice conversion :) Could you please say, how do you control VTG of garrett 2260 over the rev speed? What is the boost pressure over the engine speed with your powertrain/propeller?

    Nice job, runs smooth. From the Netherlands?
  • Commented on another video of yours.. i want to repower a 35-37 foot boat with two bi-turbo Audi V8's or a 27-30 foot boat with two bi-turbo audi 2.7 V6's ... as much power as the huge big blocks but way smaller, lighter and better on fuel.. would be a great experiment and awesome if it all worked

    lækkert projekt. kan man få en undvisning af motoropsætningen (vid) jeg har nemlig selv gang i selv samme motor til at rykke en båd. det kunne være sjovt og se hvordan i har gjort det. :)
  • Very nice... i have m57 engine, would like to fit it on my boat also. Drive is mercruiser bravo 1. Question is, how you conected engine to mercruiser drive? :) thank you :)
  • Hvem har lavet motorstyringen til den? Går ud fra at i er sluppet af med startspærre og sådan noget? Kan man evt. få lov at se projektet? 😉
