I received the 160mm wear ring, but still waiting on the impeller. Hopefully it will get here while I'm off this week.
The foam sound deadening on the engine hatch fell off while I was checking the oil this morning. I didn't think it would be a big deal so I left it at the house. The enfine noise is incredibly loud without the foam. I'm going to try Gorilla glue to reattach it tonight.
Ready to get the new impeller and get the rpms down. Good speed this morning.
Holy crap, you are getting so close. I don't know if it's time to bore the venturi nozzle maybe just slightly, or just backing off a mm or so on the trailing edge could do the trick.Well the 3.5mm bend was too much. Ran 57 mph @ 8150 rpm. With everyone in the boat it was at 54-55 mph @ 7950-8050.
Hole shots are pretty lazy. Starts at 7200 rpm and slowly works up to speed. No cavitation though. Still a lot faster than stock.
I removed the spacers on the Lucky 13 cone but it didn't change anything.
My dedicated cooling line blew off. I never got an overheat warning, but it melted a small hole in the plastic resonator. I thought it was going to end my day, but I found some hose clamps and reinstalled the cooling line, then used a piece from my cold air intake to put the exhaust back together. My wife was a little irritated, but was impressed with the quick fix.
Yeah that's crazy how much it changed.
Too bad there wasn't a way to get 55 out of the boat with it running premium
91+ is premium up here. The highest we can get is 94 but it has ethanol, 91 she'll ran the best in my high compression two stroke seadoo.The tune I am running is for 91 octane. I run 93 to be safe.
@4wheeldeal Give Dean's Team a call and ask what they can do for 87 octane. I'm sure how mine is setup now at 8100 rpm, it would be fine on 87 octane if it was tuned for it.
Just a heads up to you guys who have upgraded your intercooler, go put the SHO intercooler on Ebay. I sold mine for what I paid Riva for the SVHO. I probably could have gotten more, but I really just wanted it out of my garage.. The only other ones out there were priced at north of $600.
I just put mine up for $150 plus shipping. I think it only took a week. I just did a quick ebay search and the cheapest I found was at $299 so you can probably start with $200-250 and get the next sale. Personally I get really annoyed with people trying to sell used shit for %10 off what they paid new 4 years ago. If it's not half off, I'm buying new.Really ? Dam. Mines going up tonight then, what's a good price I should start with?
