Looks great!

 

[MADMAT]

Beauty! Didn't they come with SJ gas tanks though?

 

[BruceSki]

Nope came with an octane tank. Holds slightly more gas than a superjet tank

 

[speedysprocket]

Looks good!

Looks sweet, I am new to the Octane world. One question, what was the reasoning for switching to the 1200 pro ignition cover?

Looks like a Ducati
VERY NICE

The earlier stator covers are a bit slimmer, not sure if that's what he's talking about.
When Polaris started making DI engines, they added a water jacket to the front of the stator housing to cool the stator. That's what all the extra casting is on the Octane stator cover that makes removing the fuel tank such a pain...

The old octane tank was almost cut through buy the strap brackets, so replaced it. The stator cover was too big found a old post on here that's why I got rid of that. Alot of good ideas to make this ski a better one all got from here.

Nice novis! are you running aftermarket manifolds or adapter plates? what ride plate is that? doesn't appear to be stock..?

 

[hydrospace61]

The intakes came with the carbs don't know what brand. The ride plate is stock but had to mod it for clearance for the drop nozzle.

 

[hydrospace61]

After all this I was going to run 111 octane @ 40-1. Any other ideas?

 

[Fro Diesel]

What's your compression to need straight 111? Race gas doesnt do anything but waste money faster unless your compression is higher than say 190psi.

 

[hydrospace61]

Got group k to shave the heads and port the cylinders. Checked the compression its @ 150 psi. Had a crazy mod super jet before, and don't want this to blow up on my first test ride. Been hearing if you have too much compression on the 777 engine they wont last......

 

[Quinc]

150 after being milled. What was it before?

 

[hydrospace61]

120

 

[speedysprocket]

You can run 93. I think my Octane was around 150 and I ran pump gas. Maybe a splash of race fuel if you're nervous. Just don't go crazy with the timing.
My big Polaris engine is at 165 psi and I run 93 with no detonation at all.

 

[hydrospace61]

Nice. i kept the timing stock for now. Will look into changing that later after break in. Still looking for the total loss holy grail.........
