Road Trip to Hot Rod Boat Heaven!

video thumbnail
This is the 200th Episode of Mike Finnegan's Garage and its fire! I towed a boat trailer riding on golf cart tires 4,400 miles to go boating for just 5 days. It was worth it just to see my wife finally get to driver HER BOAT! That's right, I really did build this 21 foot long Eliminator Daytona with a twin-turbocharged Texas Speed 427ci LSX engine and Dominator jet drive for her. Sure, she didn't for it but that doesn't mean she didn't want it, right?

The jet drive came from American Turbine http://www.americanturbine.com/ and was blueprinted by Big League Performance Marine https://www.facebook.com/blrmarine/

The engine came from Texas Speed and features Nelson Racing Engines 72mm Mirror Image turbochargers https://nelsonracingengines.com/

Fuel for this beast was provided by twin Aeromotive brushless fuel pumps mounted in custom fuel cells that were built by Ryan Rakestraw, myself and David Newbern. https://aeromotiveinc.com/product/5-0-brushless-gear-pump-module/

The Electronic fuel injection, igntion, and data acuisition systems are all run by a new Holley Dominator lightweight ECU. https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/dominator_efi/dominator_ecu/parts/554-114LW

and Motion Raceworks provided its Icon 102 mm throttlebody, plus other bits to plumb the hot and cold sides of the turbo system: https://www.motionraceworks.com/collections/throttle-bodies-efi/products/motion-raceworks-icon-102mm-interchangeable-throttle-body
