Complete marinized TM 1800 with exhaust and air intake
Introducing the Turbine Marine Extreme Turbine Class engine package, the TM 1800.
The Turbine Marine Extreme Class engine package was developed exclusively in partnership with the leader in high performance marine turbines development and service, the Florida based company Turbine Marine Inc, of Pompano Beach Florida.
The goal behind the new engine package was to develop an ultra high-horse power race engine, that was safe and inexpensive to run, multi-fuel capable, and that could be operated for a minimum of an entire race season at WOT with out needing any internal inspection or overhaul. After years of research and development and testing, this task was accomplished by fully marinizing the well known Lycoming T-53 L13 and 703 Turbo prop engines. These two turbines have the exact same physical dimensions and have a HP range of 1450hp (L13) to 1850hp (703) at 100%-104% engine speed (N1) @ 60F.
The TM-L13 and TM-703 turbine engines start out as military surplus, timed-out engines that are given new life at Turbine Marine Inc fully staffed overhaul facility. The engines are completely disassembled for inspection, overhaul, balance and removal of high corrosive alloys. At the time of re-assembly, most of the high corrosive alloys (magnesium housings and steel hardware) are then replaced with specially developed hard coated aluminum housings and stainless hardware, to ease the maintenance in the harsh marine environment.
