Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

I wonder what's going to happen when water hits that catalytic converter when it shouldn't?

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Yea, it's a 5.7GiC-300 Volvo outdrive engine.
Here are what you are seeing.
A - Catalitic converters inside
B - 2 oxygen sensors
C - Aluminum manifolds with special coating.
D - Oil filter (paper insert, no can)
E - PS reservoir
F - Raw water pump

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Don,
What is the output rating? Is it lower than the previous generation 5.7Gxi? MEFI 5 controller?

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Still 320?

 

[Don S]

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

I had it wrong, it's a 5.7GiC-300 rated at 300 prop hp, The 5.0 is the GXiC rated at 270hp

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Do you know what the fully compliant lineup will be? Ratings.

Part d looks like my oil filter housing on my car.

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

yep, my license to steal just expanded, but I understand that in 09 all inboards/I/O)'s will have cats and meet even more stringent emissions. I hope to retire before our industry has to use a yearly sniff test on the exhaust.
I just wonder if the 8.1 with cats will injest as much water as the 8.1 without .

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

The 8.1 J model has the new style PCU and has lost the cross over tube between the elbows.
Supposedly it doens't have the problem anymore with those changes. Time will tell.

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Don,
Any idea on a cost for replacement of the manifolds/elbows/cats (not sure what to call them, as I don't know what half the cat is in) Retail parts only.

 

[Don S]

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Nothing for costs on anything yet. Can you say JULY!

 

[JustJason]

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

understandable.....

1500 bucks a side doesn't sound out of the question though.....

Re: Far from a Chevy inline 6

Is this a little closer -- its the 3.0 that produces 150 HP.
