would that be possible ?
 
Yes and no. Possible yes, practical no.
It would require much more than just a supercharger.
Different intake, exhaust, injectors, throttle body. Ecu, wiring harness, map sensor, intercooler, intake hoses, etc, etc.....
Not sure if pistons, cams, internals the same
 
Just buy the 252 with the twin SVHO ?
Or is it the 27 foot. Either or would be easier to buy 2 skis and engine swap then trying to add a super.
 
You’d need the 255 to get the SVHO. It’d almost be cheaper to buy two SVHO waverunners and swap the engines out then trying to convert the stock ones. Maybe just do the ribbon delete and be happy, you could also see if you could do a tune.
 
With enough time and money NASA put a man on the moon. Is it possible? certainly! Is it economically reasonable? no. If you want that kind of power you are better off swapping the boat entirely. If you have time and money to burn and want to prove it can be done, or feel you can gain entertainment or happiness from doing it, we are happy to see pictures, and we won't stop you!


Best of Luck!
 
Internally the cams are different as well

@yam240sx.....also the SVHO uses a 160 mm jet pump/nozzle you'd need that too for best performance....,.great idea but better to get a new rig IMO. :cool:
