Toyota Epic X22

[Tims]

1,600+ rpm IS NOT where I want torque to start, how do you get a skier or boarder off the line quick when you don't have power until 1,600 rpm??? Getting out of the hole is where I need power. The 351W provides heaps of torque right off idle. A 351W with performer setup is the most ideal for a boat. Smooth idle and jumps off the line... No waiting on turbos to spool up and eventually fail because the motor is constantly running @ 3,000 rpm vs 1,500 rpm in a vehicle and always under load....

1600 was just a point of reference. An ECO will outperform any N/A V8 at almost any point in the curve, especially in a boat. With small turbos and direct injection allowing relatively high compression there is virtually no turbo lag. It would run circles around a 351W. With the torque of the ECO you could probably run a higher pitch prop and even drop your RPM.

RPM and load does not hurt an engine. Heat does, and as long as it is managed, no problemo!

I know where you are coming from, I have a Raptor 6.2 engine in my F150, but after towing and driving both, my engine has nothing over an ECO and actually the towing performance on the ECO is better as the engine does not have to shift and rev as much as my 6.2.

It would make a great performing ski/wake boat engine!! Also looks like we are going to have a supercharged 6.2 in a Supra pretty darn soon.
