From previous threads I note the standard torque of the 1UZ motor can be an issue in marine applications, leading some to go down the supercharger path.
For what it's worth, I was recently shown dyno graphs for a 1UZ-FE engine before and after the standard plenum chamber was replaced by throttle bodies and ram tubes (80mm). HP only increased 3% but peak torque increased by 47%. Is this therefore an option to supercharging?
Not being a boatie (other than a brief fling with a Bayliner 175 - useless ski boat), I'm confused by the claimed weight benefits of the all alloy V8 compared to the Chev engine, particularly when most ski boats I see on the Murray/Edwards seem to go to extraordinary lengths to add weight (ballast, wedge etc).
Hope this helps.
