not what I heard. I heard some big time pro scouted you and is paying to get you and your ski there and putting you in a hotel for 2 weeks. supposedly he wants you to compete in the WF and see how you do. kinda funny because you havent ridden this thing yet, hard to scout someone who doesnt perform yet and hasnt even done a roll or flip yet :pokey: :splatt:

Ha...thats funny. I wish there were people scouting for riders and paying for a full ride in this sport but that just doesnt happen. this is jet skiing we are talking about not nascar

It was a bun pipe for a bun hull. The q8 is much shorter and my motor placment is custom,
hence further forward. But even so if the motor was all the way back the pipe still wouldnt really fit. I had to do what i had to do.. I talked to Paul Lpw about the pipe and showed him pics and he thinks the pipe is still going to perform very well. He thinks its going to be alot of low to mid judgeing by the fatness of the chamber. We will see when i get to AZ.
I would really like to get a handful of people to ride this ski that have boats of this cal.
I want to compare it to other high dollar boats and compare notes, pick up, handleing, power range, prop specs.. ect. So far Roo and superramjet are on the list.
Thanks for the props Shonuff, slow but shore!

I am no pro, just a joe, but I will give you honest feedback. I appreciate the gesture. I really want to see how that hull handles compared to the FS-1. :1244:

As far as the pipe, the bun would have probably been the way to go if you were sticking with your SJ setup... but after making the hull switch, the PF pipe probably would have been the way to go...

But I'm assuming you had the pipe before the Q8 was decided on... In any event, nice work for sure, looks like it should perform well. I am stoked to try it!

Ya the pipe was in my hands first. I figured since the b pipe and box fit in the q8 why wouldnt the bun as it is made to fit in place with the b. I could of prob made it work if i moved the motor back 6 inch..but the balance of the ski came first for me, so i put the motor were i wanted it then worried about the pipe.

Call Ed @ Full Spectrum. Tell him your setup. Great guy, will give you more information then you want to know! I bet he could get you in the ball park.

Call the Dasa team as well since you are using there motor setup.

EDIT: just read your very first post. Maybe give Paul Lehr a call for some jetting specs / starting point.

See if your notes match or there way different.

Ok, here are some better pics of this thing, all peices are made just need to weld together and tweak a bit. I didnt change the fatness of the pipe it just ended up getting longer buy bending it like that, so i feel pretty good this thing is going to perform. In the pics u can c how this pipe is set up..much diff from the pf pipe, this has no water jacket from the expansion to the stinger. water just cools the first 1ft in a half. the next hole is 4 a water jet as seen in the instructions. I have 2 sets here looks like one is 4 dual cooling and the other is single, ya? And im not running a waterbox..cuz it wont fit so i have a eme resnator with water inlet like the pf setup. Would anyone like to chime in here on the best way to work out the cooling for this mess? Feel free to draw on instruction pic for me so i could see ur idea. Help pls..:hail: oh ya and the lines threw the hull are 3/8 im 95% sure.

Weighed the ski complete, with the pipe and all the peices, msd, everything on a nice bathroom scale, Checked it 3 times came back same everytime 198.6 lbs. I weighed myself it came to 151lbs so it is dialed in. So this number should be dead on or very close.

Keep lines the same, try smaller jet to heat pipe a bit as the bending has lengthened the chamber, the longer decreased cone angles will also help for a very wide pb
I wish all pipes were sold with egt's and exh duration specs, would be so much easier to setup
