Super Jet First Mods for your New Superjet

i just modded my 2014 superjet finally. heres a list of what i did, i did it all at once. Duel bilge, i bought the mount from bowsion. honestly waste of money, just mount it to bottom of ski i didnt even use it. pull electrical box and then mount them down there.
footholds
returfed. honestly the turf was a pain the the ass
shorten pole-easy job. hint burn the excess fiberglass inside aluminum bottom part.
tilt trim kit rrp
rrp quick steer
0 degree bars
bilge switch to bars
trigger finger throttle blowsion
hood straps
handlebar limiter rope
intake grate worx 201
skat swirl 9/15 talk to blowsion, theyll set you up based off what your trying to accomplish and go off of weight
also dakine foothold
took me 2 full days to do everything. still have to adjust the trim lever in pump, pain to calibrate it the way i want.

How did you run your tilt/trim setup? Understand that it can be routed through the factory bilge line, but that will necessitate putting an electric bilge? New to the whole scene, but slowly trying to get some mods done. Thanks!

Yeah i did take the factory bilge out. no need for it. i put an duel electric bilge. worked like a charm. i then sealed around the tube on inside and out. or you can drill your own line too with a long ass bit and then get a 1/4 inch pipe for it. all preference. i didnt wanna drill a hole and i planned for duel bilge. its awesome while out in the bay
 
Revisiting this from what I've learned.

First things first,

Turf, thick under padding 18mm
Carbon reed petals from boyesen
Rule 360 bilge
Light polespring
Umi style steering, 4 degree bars odi grips
Side sponsons
Shock pad made from 18mm under pad
Hooker prop
Frogskins
Hoodseal if necessary
Jet dynamics intake grate
Ride plate

Next phase
Ocd solutions cdi or msd enhancer
Bpipe mod chamber or other a/M exh
Ada head
Case porting, cyl porting
Carbs, filters
Vf2 intake and reeds
Adr true/welded crank
Overbore or big bore
Footholds if necessary

I believe so. There is not much that has changed on the superjet in the past 10 years either ;)
In my opinion it makes sense to get the handling mods first(quick steer, foodholds, intake, rideplate, polespring, throttle) a bilge pump is
important if you want to learn the "old school" tricks consisting of a lot of diving. For those tricks the stock motor is strong enough at least in my
experience. After you spend some serious time in the tray you can start moding your power train. If its pre 08 buy an impeller (day and night difference)
After that ride it again learn to control it than buy a b-pipe(again day and night difference).
After that get a new hull or go all out on 701 mods flywheel, enhancer or tl, head, porting, overbore, big bore........Both ways are pretty pricey but after the pipe and impeller you
have most of the power out of that engine and you can do most of the stuff/tricks possible with a 701 in a stock Sj hull.
I think skat has different prop pitches not all swirl prop will be 144 12/15.
Get a hooker 9/15 or 10/16 or a solas 13/17 for skat I think it would be a 12/17 or a 13/18. No madder what brand you get buy a big hub prop.
Also before you change anything on your ski asked yourself if you like wrenching or actually driving the ski I guess there are two different types of jet skiers ;)

all these freestyle mods and not one race post. So many aftermarket hulls now designed for surf/freestyle. No need to chop up an new SJ.

Race setup:
Prowatercraft front sponsons
Prowatercraft Ride plate
Slot the trim bracket to lower nozzle to straight
pre 08 steering cable
tray wedge
msd enhancers
remove choke and re jet
head gasket

now you have a basic lites class superjet.
 
option 1
in order of modification:
  1. reinforce skis engine compartment and tray
  2. worx 201 intake grate
  3. skat trak 12/15 freeride swirl prop
  4. cut your pole down to -4"
  5. 0 degree straight bars/X-metal steering
  6. footholds
  7. Hydro Turf
  8. Blowsion Tubby 2's (sponsons)
  9. one way valve/scupper
  10. dual cooling
  11. Factory B Pipe
  12. milled stock head
  13. MSD ignition
  14. porting (LPW)
  15. lowered hood kit (tons of options) I am using the waterdawg hood, very well priced
  16. more motor and hull upgrades
It's my belief that handling mods should always be done first before engine mods
