After 20 yrs of riding, racing, cutting, fiber glassing, machining, breaking(2) modifying, big boring, cussing at, and sinking X2's. I decided to build 1 more X2!
UNFORTUNETLY I HAD A 2 PAGE WRITE UP ON THIS SKI. AND IT WOULD NOT POST...
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THINK THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. OR THAT I'M ON DRUGS.... OR ERIC MALONE SHOULD USE THIS instead OF A 1000cc MOTOR..
WELL LETS BEGIN....I HAVE BEEN A TOOL AND DIE MAKER FOR LOCKHEED MARTIN FOR 15yrs. Working for a place of this magnitude offer accsess to state of the art 5 axis horizontals, VTL, JIG BORES, SURFACE GRINDERS, EDM, ELECTRO BEAM WELDERS, LATHES!!!!!
HERE IS HOW ITS DONE.......A very low estimate of 212 at 14,500rpm....THIS HP NUMBER WILL GROW!!!! (250+) SOLID 1 piece vacuum forged INCONNEL750X crank. 2 piece vacuum forged 7075 connecting rods, using radial polycrystaline boron nitride ceramic bearing. Crankcase is watercooled and stuffed, crank to case clearence is .003. Graphite 50H Stuffed Pistons. INCONNEL 718 sleeves, Inconell 625 rings. Taking cues from the P-51 Rolls Royce Merlin v-12, this cylinder uses 12 digital control water injection points. 72 .004 holes have been drilled into the piston crowns exiting behind the ring lans. High compression direct cylinder injection. 90% nitromethane 10% Hydrogen Peroxide over Silver Mesh
PUMP/ NOZZLE AND PIPE ARE DIGITALLY RPM CONTROLLED TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT. Like an afterburner of a modern military jet. COMPOSITE/Mercury filled drive shaft. Solid titanium pump using two impellers Push/Pull......ANDDDDD THERE IS OH SO MUCH MORE TO THIS SKI
THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.......BECAUSE YOU CANT BUY IT IN A STORE DOES NOT MEAN IT CANT BE BUILT ...PICS COMMING SOON.
And For all the People that make the wise cracks....I understand, but consider this, 1970's technology produces 20 million horse power through pumps and fans (Space Shuttle) SSME alternate turbo pump. As far as machine/motor/metal technologies, The AEROSPACE INDUSTRY leads these tech fields by 20+ yrs. Thats why B-2 bombers cost 2 billion each. Thats why the Space Shuttle is still the MOST COMPLEX MACHINE ever built.
So I found a picture taken at the awards ceremony after Lockheeds pwc race. I guess X2_CARTEL was pretty dissapointed that Jim's 1975 Kawasaki (275 hp) beat his ski. X2_CARTEL is seen here in the lower right corner.
bump becaus its the biggest thread i've ever seen

For what? So you can put in your grandparent's garage and talk about it?
