So... As the headline implies. Has anyone done this or maybe been thinking about it and have some ideas to come up with?
I have a speedster 200 with twin 155hp from 2004.
I have some experience in motorcycles and sportscars and understand that there is a lot of heat coming out through the exhaust system.
However, Im thinking that with the insulating bandage and additional materials of today. A lot of the heat can be transported out of the engine compartment. My thoughts are that if it is possible to remove the cooling (I don’t know) I will have to increase the air in- and outlet of the engine bay.
My thinking is:
1. Remove all the hoses and junk for exhaust/cooling
2. Manufacture stainless steel exhaust manifold and exhaust system. The more “open” I can make it the less heat it will create in engine bay. The downside will be a louder boat. However, I only drive it in the ocean and Therefore it’s not a very big deal, however it must be reasonable. After that, the whole manifold will be bandaged
Thoughts anyone?
