ENGINE DESCRIPTION This range of engines is designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible while maintaining durability and serviceability. They are intended for lightweight and high speed vessels and have a light duty rating. • The aerodynamically efficient variable geometry turbocharger and the improved high pressure direct fuel injection system allow the 6.6 litre V8 to respond immediately and deliver smooth, consistent power, with a flat torque curve from 1 850 rpm all the way to the red line • 4 valves per cylinder. • Common Rail fuel injection. • Variable geometry turbo. • Safety warning systems monitor engine coolant temperature and level. • Raw water flow is also monitored by exhaust temperature sensors. • The engine’s closed cooling system gives improved corrosion resistance and minimizes the amount of flushing required after use. • Raw water circulation is controlled by a belt driven rubber impellor pump, ensuring adequate water flow to the intercooler, heat exchanger, engine oil and power steering coolers. • Both the engine and drive systems are controlled electronically by the NIRA Engine Control Unit (ECU). • Electronically controlled variable geometry turbo to ensure excellent bottom end torque and performance. • Gear train noise is minimized though using a CentaFlex Torsional damper system. • Exhaust noise is reduced via routing exhaust gasses through the propeller hub.
