Sounds good - Yea I think the factory/riva headers come with one tapped port stock - the other is a blank you can drill/tap sorta like the stock yami pump stators. I have both setup for 1/4" NPT now so I have some options. I think the micro touch you mentioned is sold in the parts-for-sale...

Alright this question was bound to come about. I've looked into a bunch of posts about dual cooling strategies and dry pipe cooling strategies. Seems there's two schools of thought when you combine dual cooling and a billet head: A) Keep all flow going into the engine via the two taps on the...

Well with the pedal literally to the metal, I dumped all 160 Amps that my tig welder had into this pipe. I'm not proud of it but the last time I welded aluminum it was with a bad ass liquid cooled Miller dynasty. Hopefully the stinger doesn't crack off before I can find a B pipe for under $1000...

Yea I only tested up to 20psi - collapsing the inner chamber was definitely a concern so I didn't push it - not intending to turn this thing into a potato gun! Honestly wasn't sure what psi the cooling system would reach under normal operating conditions. Found my leaks so after welding I'll...

@Harbor - thanks that should've been obvious to me haha. I'll throw a 337 on there along with the 333's in the slip joint. The 337 should help metal to metal impact and the 333s will center it up nice and do all the sealing work. Well paint stripped and cooling jacket pressure tested. A small...

Seller said it pressure tested fine, I will definitely do that though after the paint is stripped off. That would be a nut puncher if it leaks. I think with the oring I'm imagining it is intended to be placed like the speedwerx pipe but without the Machined grooves that fail on them. In an...

Yea I'm probably going with the Dry setup. There's a few interesting observations on this pipe. Factory Pipe calls for a #337 o-ring in the slip joint between the header section and the expansion chamber - this seems way too big. The chamber slip-fit portion has an OD of 2.6" and the header...

So I'm in the process of a build and came across two good deals on used pipes. A Riva Red pipe and a Riva Freeride Dry pipe (some say it's a Factory Pipe Dry Pipe / Type 4) What I'm trying to accomplish is a ski that has great all around power, not all bottom and not all top. Sofar I've got a...

The fun begins... About to pull er outta there Engine bay is pretty clean When tearing stuff down that I don't intend on scrapping I've learned to keep track of all the bolts in my older years... Kept track of the engine shimz and their orientation in the engine bay (FR, FL, RR, RL)...

So the Zeeltronics setup looks awesome - did enough research on it to be dangerous. I'm going to shelf that for "stage 2" though. I'll probably get a JM yamasaki coil and mate that with my enhancement device and call it a day for stage 1 - it will give me a reason to crack open and clean the...

Thanks @Sanoman I've started more PWC projects then I've finished - hoping to even things out with this one! My 1995 superjet was held together with hopes and dreams - not a great project candidate like this one. Great point @mikidymac - I am after a more powerful and playful version of the...

You had me at more power... Any recommendations on vendor for these parts? Already bought the enhancer but I can easily flip it.

Yea probably - I have a dakine foot strap from an old project I never used too

Picked up a 1999 Superjet this weekend and was pretty surprised at how stock it was - in a good way! Very little "hullestation" if any - just some hood paint peeling! It was perfect timing too because I almost bought a leftover given the current drought of standups in the Denver area. So it...

And the final plot twist in this journey... After making the trip back home 2 weekends ago I started to take inventory of what needed to be done to this hull yet. Keep in mind that it had been almost 4 years to the date since I had last worked on this hull. The work that still needed to be done...

Just logged in after... a few years it appears! - Had to buy a dirtbike first to get back into the portable motorized device world haha. A lot has changed in my life, but the desire to finish this project still stands! I just shipped my pwc trailer out here to Colorado and I'm going back to...

I actually don't own a wet suit haha - I'm usually perfectly OK with really cold water though... to a point! Swiming in the lake by St. Mary's Glacier was pretty much the coldest water I can ever remember, and I've swam in the ocean in the winter (East Coast), and plenty of 'polar bear plunges'...

Goals to finish this thing: 1. I'll be traveling back east for Halloween - I'd love to get my engine to a buddy to run it, (just so I know I can drop it in without worry!) 2. I'll be back east again for a whole week on Thanksgiving - hopefully the engine has been tested, I'll be doing a more...
