With growing interest in marinizing the popular 6.6 Duramax diesel. Dmaxstore built and installed a LMM Duramax diesel into a single prop Mastercraft X-80. This project will help us bring new Duramax marinizing products to market.
Installing a Duramax into a V Drive Mastercraft require a ton of R&D and was not completed Over Night.
Boat Details:
Mastercraft X-80 single prop
Current motor GM Indmar 8.1 big block
The Before
The completed Wrap Concept. All hooked up with some fresh Vinyl and ready for summer. Swim deck's been Line-Xed
The 6.6 power plant (2009 LMM) accessories and wiring harness are off. Liquid cooled stainless manifolds and up pipes made. Valve covers powdercoated.
Bell housing bolted up to a core short block. No oil pan on at this point.
Dropping in for a test fit.
V drive connected and motor mocked up on blocks. Motor mounts will be modified and oil pan will need some adjustments.
The New ZF V-Drive has arrived with a 1.29 ratio.
Oil pan pretty much done except a trip to the powder coat shop. We ended up modifying the stock pan and it worked out very well.
Dropped and shortened oil pick up for custom pan.
heads going back on tomorrow. Followed up by the V-drive and going back in the boat.

Turbo, Injectors, High pressure lines installed. (Harness, Intercooler, Heat exchanger)
Custom adapter made to connect fresh water impeller to our ATI harmonic damper. This adapter came out sweet, thanks Airpoint
Final electrical, IC plumbing and exhaust system under fabrication.
The fit is very good and this re power looks like it came off the showroom floor.
Our ECM is on its way back from the master of all Duramax tuning (Rob Coddens) we should be uploading some running video by next weekend.
Fuel system is near completion. We modified the OE sending unit and pick up, it turned out pretty cool and should work very well submerged in diesel. The tried, true, and popular Airdog DF-165 fuel system has been mounted and plumbed.
Exhaust system finished up today. Chris with Alpine design put the TIG welder in overdrive. Got the exhaust and inter cooler pipes finished up. We will be using the factory exhaust ports with this stainless masterpiece.

Here is a little more running video.

Lake day.
First time in the water. We did not have a MAF sensor in so we are running on reduced power and RPM for today. The new V-drive is pretty noisy until it get a little throttle. All in all everything went extremely well. Prop testing and finishing the electrical will be on next weeks agenda.
