Doug

its what died on the inside AND OUTSIDE of the engine compartment... that 90 SJ!
---------------------------------------
UPDATE!:arms:

i put in the TDR box (from the square), TEE fitting (xmetal), rear exhaust hose (2 2/8" i.d. marine exhaust hose), front exhaust hose (discount auto parts flexible 1 3/4" radiator hose) and motor mounts today. :arms: :arms:

....and steve glued my liner and hood together today.
before he put the handcups in, i turfed the entire inside area against the inside of the hood. thats always a bitch to get at when the hood is all together. the inside of my handholds are shiny black carbon fiber! :arms: :arms: :arms:

ill try to remember to bring the camera tomorrow. :werd:

Looking Good, Charlie!!!

That TDR is going to be one noisy sumbitch. :bigeyes:

 

[hangtime]

if that pole was stock I'd swear it was my ski .
looks nice man ,what's with the bilges going into the tray area ?I don't get why you would put it there .
I'm sure there has to be a good reason :wink:

actually, that tdr is what i was running in my square. its not too bad.


they have two models:

kinda noisy & noisy sumbitch.

mines only kinda noisy. :biggrin:

-------------------------------------

hood should be done tomorrow or friday. as soon as its done, the hooks and locks are going on then it goes to paul at exotic signs..

just got my cylinders bored for some new pistons today:arms:

i can be in the water this weekend but i think ill wait till after the graphics. thatll give me a week to re-assemble abd install the engine instead of a day or 2.

i would never put a pwctoday sticker on anything i own.


the bilge outlets are 45's, so they point overboard. most people put them in the holes that the choke and fuel valve were on the "dash".

Ahhh ,at a 45 and use the existing holes I got ya .:cool2:
Must look cool when you turn em on like that
Your banned from having those stickers on your boat is what you mean :wink:

I always wanted to get rid of the fuel valve ,what do you do with that ??

 

[njfl]

Charlie, consider getting the Tee welded to the waterbox to make it clean and minimize chance of leaking. You have that welder guy right around the corner. Take the B headpipe when you go too already :aargh4:

just run the fuel line from the reserve tube straight to the carb (with a filter of course). it eliminates about 10 feet of fuel line in your ski and eliminates a potentially cloggable/leaky/whatever valve.

exactly. yours had, what they refer to as, NO BAFFLES.:cool2:

i thought about welding the tee to the box. i might do it after i have everything situated and know EXACTLY where the box and tee should be in relation to eachother. after the battery, pipe, tank etc is installed, the position may need to change. its much easier to make that change with a piece of hose vs a welded setup. also, like steve says, its just an oem ski..... who cares about clean?

also, i was considering welding a second outlet on the front of the waterbox and eliminating the tee altogether, but with the exhaust tube i used, id still need a 90* fitting, so i figured, WTF, put the tee.


bolt had been extracted from manifold today - cylinders bored too
