Other 64x vs 62t nozzle w/ XMetal trim

[Pablo]

Are parts labelled 64x considered Raider, Blaster, or what?

Is there a 64x nozzle. I'm using a 62t nozzle from a CATS system for a XMetal trim setup and can't get the trim ring to fit and if it did fit there is prolly less than 10 degrees of throw. If you have a pic of a different nozzle show me one please. I'll post a pic of mine in a minute.

Pretty sure thats label for 760.

64x were raider and blaster2 to my knowledge

If you look at the exit portion of the nozzle you can see a ring around the neck. The trim ring extends forward to allow for the right to left pivot of the steering nozzle. Even if this ring was ground off the make-up of the trim ring will still only allow for a small amount of movement vertically. If I had a spare nozzle I'd cut this one up and try some cuts on this one, but this is all I have right now. If I cut the nozzle exit I change the back pressure the pump is creating. Right now I'm 85mm and don't want to go larger.

I just looked the the one I ordered for jetmanaic and its stamped 62T....im sure its the right nozzle...i hope I bought an X-metal trim its just not here yet...It better fit! lol

Chris is super cool about helping. He already told me to call if I was having trouble. I was just going to try and save him from helping me out right now. I'm sure he's busy slinging parts and getting ready for Daytona. I figure I'll catch him down there if I needed. My CATS system has about 5x the throw of what I've got now.

Some of the 760 reduction nozzles are quite different than the 62T's because they are offset upward about 6-degrees and they have a bowl shape reduction area.

They seem to work well for some people using mag pumps and big HP engines because of the bowl shape design and larger degree tapered nozzle angle but the offset will limit your throw of just about any trim ring installed.

Mine is simply stamped 62T. I see the variations on the 62T design. Any body have pics of the other versions or have suggestions on how best to cut the nozzle but not screw up the pump pressure?

Somebody recently posted a bunch of pics on their build thread where they did a lot of grinding on the nozzle to install the trim but I cannot remember which build thread it was.

You need to grind the rib off where it hits the nozzle I had the same problem and didn't think it would help that much but it made a huge difference

Just grind the top area of the reduction nozzle as in this picture.

xmetal trim requires lots of grinding...


thrust requires none

My 62T Nozzle doesnt have the rib thats been ground down in this picture?

 

[Waternut]

If you need help, bring it over and we'll grind it down.

U R so gay!

Munkie,

Did you do away with the OEM pump bolts? I haven't tried the fit of the trim cable bracket with the OEM bolts, but it doesn't look like they'll be long enough.

Doubt it requires $300-400 worth of grinding.

lol nice dig

Here's some pics post grinding. I had to do some backside grinding as well. Prolly took me about 20 mins of grinding and refitting for proper alignment. How's the final trim angle look?
