hydrospace vid

the guy i talked to about his said it was 400lbs+, he had a chip for his and he also was running a bag of ice on his intercooler or heat exchanger or something. not sure about top speed but after the first corner along the back straight he started pulling away from the group and they never caught up.

400+ lbs man thats a tank why are they so heavy? Bcuz there for racing are they heavy to go through chop easier?

The HS has made its way to XH20....where's Momar?

 

[D-Roc]

4-stroke motor that is big, complex, and turbocharged. more electronics too, you can hookup a laptop to it. nice race machine from what i seen up close and on the course. there was an octane that pulled the holeshot but like i said that was only to the first buoy then the hydrospace took over. cool ski just not something i would want. i would have like to try it out if the guy offered.

aww sweet there turbos? and 4 stroke didnt know that. What is the point of hooking up a labtop? To do like a anaylisis of it?

 

[D-Roc]

yeah i think it is for engine management and it may have lap records of engine temps, rpms, exhaust gases etc, etc. pretty cool stuff.

 

[spence]

yeah that is pretty dang high tech no wonder the price tag aint it like 7 grand?

 

[RyanO]

almost double.

US$12000

 

[spence]

ohh yeah the performance kit was 7 GRAND i think holly crap thats alot! is it worth it though?

 

[RyanO]

if your racing, you need one.

having a laptop hookup would be awesome. same concept as with performance cars. you can hook up a laptop up to your car and see what psi you were at at whatever rpm you want, change fuel timing, injector pulse, all kinds of cool stuff. we have a guy here in boise who is incredibly good at tuning, he does talons and evo's but if i had the money for a HS i might just give it to him to tune. lol.

here's a vid of his talon. this is his 2006 setup, at the end there is a preview of what he ran all this year. the dyno section of the vid is a FWD dyno only, the talons can be easily be converted from AWD to FWD and this car is nuts, putting out over 600 AWHP. ok, enough talk, here's the vid.
