Finally sold my 650sx and got a 1991 650 sn sj. Looking to convert to a 701. What all do I need to buy and what can stay the same for the conversion?
My First Superjet.. Help!

You want to drop a complete 61x 701 in or build yours? To convert, 61x cylinder, pistons, and head. You'll have to clearance the 6m6 case for the cylinder. Can be done with a dremel tool.

I'm definitely looking to just drop a complete 701 in.

It will be a lot easier to find a old couch with a complete 701 to drop in.
I think thats a better route then trying to bring a 6m6 up to 61x specs

Ride the 650 for the rest of the season...when it gets cooler people will start putting skis up for sale much cheaper. Look for a 701 couch then.

I guess I worded that wrong. I am wanting to do a swap, not a conversion. I want to completely ditch the 6m6.

It is looking like that's going to be the route I take iangdesign.

Get an impeller and a bpipe. Run them with your 650 for the rest of the season then upgrade to a 701.

I know it is highly debatable on which impeller to get, but what would you recommend for low end?

And how does a Riva Red Pipe compare?

+08 SJ Stock Prop is a great affordable option, Hooker 9/15, Solas 11/17 or 12/17 are great too.
Some people have issues mounting a Riva Red Pipe, however others have had great performance especially considering the price.
I would personally hold off for a B Pipe, as they are light weight with great low end. And they hold their value exceptionally well.

Red pipe will make more power, but be a pain the arse. If you have one already run it.

Ran a red pipe in my modded 701 SN for a couple years it had amazing low end grunt, but it was just one part of the package. As stated I would ride what you have and start collecting parts for a stellar 701 package to build in the winter months. Then you can take the engine and drivetrain with you when you get tired of the SN. lol

You can get a red pipe for half the price of a B pipe. That is the only thing that kills me. I'm a college kid on a bit of a budget haha

I did the same thing in college. After fighting my ski for half a season I ended going back to stock to at least be able to ride. Next year bought a B Pipe and it was a simple install.

Kinda In the same boat.
I have a superjet, an empty hull and wetjet Kraze. Trying to make one ride-able ski.
Want a B-pipe, but working part time while going to school every day is making that B-pipe dream unlikely. The Wetjet pipe has become a huge hassle. So I'm about to toss on the 650 stock exhaust onto the thing just so I can ride it maybe once this season..
