Nozzle Boring ''How To ''

These are the type of questions that you have to do testing to get the answer, **on your setup**. What works for me may not work for you due to factors like water makeup, altitude, engine torque, etc etc.

I have two different diameter coffee cans as nozzle and steering nozzle and my ski roasts everyone elses.:dunce: it could also be the flavor crystal in the premix.

Tom, I think you should switch to decaf. :jester:
The radar guns won't find any gains on the top end because boring the nozzle is for bottom end acceleration only and you'll lose some top speed.

I am using a 9/15 hooker with an 85mm taper... I love the combo.
Tom, i thought the coffee cans were your pistons, (but what do I know)?

On a side note... any expertise with x2 nozzles? From what I understand they are larger than the 750 nozzles... however I'm afriad to bore mine out as its just a brittle ABS plastic of sorts. Would it be benificiary to eliminate the laminar flow fins inside the nozzle?
Pretty sure the max you can bore the stock metal nozzle is 82mm. The X2 nozzle is 83mm. I've run both and never could tell the difference between the two. Handling is a bit different though due to the X2 steering nozzle being further back. I asked about the vanes in the X2 nozzle as well and got limited responses saying they may help but clearly no 'seat of the pants' difference. Maybe 82mm is the max for a 750.

What about a SXR stock nozzle?
just looking to see how I can get a bigger nozzle to accomodate the TBM tail cone taking up more room in the 650/x2 reduction nozzle.

Keep in mind Kawi's run a smaller pump than a SJ so naturally an 84-85mm bore is most likely going to hurt performance more than help it. The SXR nozzle is actually smaller at 76mm stock than the old SX nozzles at 80mm stock. They can both be bored out to 82mm though.
I always thought the whole point of the TBM pump cone/mag pump was the keep the pump loaded up at higher pressures. If you jack up the nozzle bore, you're basically just countering that expensive effort and unloading the pump and reducing the pressure back to normal.

Zero do you still have the ability to taper bore nozzles? I have a couple I am looking to get taper bored. Probably 2 or 3 nozzles. Please let me know. I’m a new member so it doesn’t seem to let me PM you.

Interesting fact to go with that, #zero is a little over 9yrs older then when he last posted in this thread. Coincidence?!?!?!? I think not.
