[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Ive been collecting parts for a while now. Ive pretty much got to install the new pump and then ill be ready to ride. Heres a short break down of what I changed or used.
-Stock 1100 Kawi
-550 Kawi Fuel Tank
-Stock X2 drive shaft
-ADA Billet Coupler on the Engine Side(Drive shaft side on a Superjet is the same thread and works perfect
-650 Kawi bed plate set on the very rear of the engine
-750 pump w/ stock prop for now

Wow. that looks like a tight fit.

 

[Motorheads5]

That was a squeeze, good job. let us know how it ripp's

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Very tight... I had to use pry bars to get it in.

 

[TKay]

It looks absolutely, positively awesome. Great work, Trav!

How did you end up mounting the motor in that hull? I want to do this to one of my skis but am a little leery on what all needs to be done.

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

I will get some pictures of my mounting Thursday night. I had to pull the motor out to change some stuff around in order to align my drive shaft.

 

[Idok]

freakin NICE!

 

[Twinturbostang]

Wow you used a stock drive shaft? I set my 1100 back to keep the lbs even in the hull.

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Yaeh stock shaft. I rode it today for about 2 min. Weight propotion wasnt to bad. It cavates heavilly, runs alittle hot and I melted one of the exhaust tubes. Got to order some stuff this week and try again next weekend.

time for a big hub impeller

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Yeah for sure. Ive got a 750 pump I was going to put in it but do you think I would be ok with the 650 with the right prop? I heard the 650 was better for top end thats why I tried it first.

 

[madscientist]

cutback sxr impeller will do just fine in the 650 pump. try a 15-20

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Awesome, Thanks for the help.

 

[Motorheads5]

I liked my SXR swirl I got from shawn and I cut it back as close as I could get it ! now course this was a case ported sp 750 not an 1100 either. Nice work Classic_speed

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

Thanks. The prop is a stock SXR or a Skat Swirl for an SXR?

 

[Motorheads5]

Dude give Dave a call at impros he is very helpful and know's his stuff your situation is kinda unique lol

 

[Mile9c1]

Dang!! That's awesome! I like the 1100 engine, it's 120hp on like 110psi.

How do you know it was running hot, those thermometer strips? Do you still have the OEM temp sensor on it? Why use the 750 pump over the stock pump?

 

[Yohns Kustom Fabrikation]

The thermo strips wernt even registering because the only go up to 140. I do not have the stock temp sensor. I have one ofthe pissers pionted into the tray area and it was super hot there. When I got back to shore however it wasnt hot enough to make water sizzle ontop of the head. I think if it wasnt cavatating I would have plenty of cooling but I guess we will have to see. The 750 pump is easier to work with because it has a rubber seal as upposed to being glued in. Ive also heard its better for bottom end because the center section is larger in diameter.

 

[tom21]

no the water that comes out of the pisser is very friggen hot! on my stx-1100 it just about burns you when the wind kicks it up at you. its probably fine, just feel all the cylinders when its running in the water and makes sure they are all the same temp.

that is a cool project but that thing is gonna be a pita to work on I bet.
