Squarenose Project Back ON!!

[Freestyleriverrat]

Well I was in the process of getting an X-jet hull but I'm not getting as much back from my taxes as I anticipated so I am not ordering the hull until mid summer.....no big deal. I kept figuring stuff out and on top of the hull I needed to get allot of small misc stuff that would would just set me over my budget. Plus I want to compete in Amateur freestyle this season and can't do it on an aftermarket hull. The x-jet project is still on b/c my hood is starting to crack in a couple spots, I don't want to spend the cash on an aftermarket hood and of course I still want an x-jet :Banane01:

So here is a list of the current mods:

FS Motor Decision:

Just got done talking to Paul at Jr. Magoos and looks like we decided the motor would be in the 100-105hp range and will consist of:

Jr Magoo's FS ported stock 61x cylinder with 82mm or 82.5mm bore
AJS girdled head with 33cc domes making 180-185lbs compression
Ported and epoxy filled 62t cases
Lightened flywheel
V-force reeds
Factory B-pipe w/ mod chamber
R&D intake
R&R reeds spacers
Dual stock 44mm carbs
Proks and prefilters

Here are some pics of the intake and other components. Other things I am doing to the square are a 24/7 nose peice, internal fuel fill (needed for x-jet), rail extensions and returf rails.

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

Well I waste no time. I started on the rail extensions tonight. I am using a piece of composit quarter round molding that is bonded to the side. That is to give it some form.....nice flat top for surface area and nice smooth curve that meets the rail. I will then blend it into the ski with glass to give it more strength, followed up with turf.

I am going to start sanding my ski soon and would love to get a pipe. You're ski is going to be nice. Competeing would be cool. I hope you can do it.
that motor is going to rock!!!!! can not wait to see it

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I need to sand and paint the bottom of the ski as well. I think I am just going to use a brush on hull paint from a boat suplier. I don't want to spend allot of bread on it and that paint is pretty durable. I did one side just to see what it would look like......but I didn't do any prep work so it did not stick to the surface.

Started working on blueprinting the pump. Just removing the casting imperfection and smoothing it out. Hopefully I don't screw it up. I'm shouldn't, I'm not reshaping anything. Here are some pic. I'm still in the process of working on it. I would say it is about 70% there in the 3rd pic.

why use quarter round it doesnt cover the side of rail. how will you turf over it?i bought the thing you did and took it back today and they sale 1"x2" pvc composit that fits better. not bashing what you are doing im trying the same thing just couldnt figure out how to make the quarter round look right without using 2 pieces per side so i got the bigger stuff. any imput?

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I used the quarter round b/c if you put the curved side on the bottom there will be a nice flat area on top so hopefully that will give me more contact area on the top of the rail instead of having just a wide round rail. The bottom I will blend in so the turf can cover it easily. Plus it gives me more room to glass it to make it stronger. Adding turf will add a little width as well so I was kind of factoring that in also. Either way will work.

BTW, that's an ADA head...not AJS. But I gather that's where you bought it. How much were the couplers?

I know...I need to change that in the build up page. I ordered a AJS head and kept waiting for it......Jim finally emailed me and said that they were still waiting on anouther shipment of them so he just sent me the ADA for what I paid for the AJS head. So that saved me like 25 bucks. Same with the coupler......I ordered I think UMI couplers but he upgraded me to the Riva ones for no charge and included and dampner. I think the riva's go for like 130ish where the UMI are closer to 100.

the 1"x2" fits perfect and its square?

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I'll have to check it out. I only put one side on as a test fit. Post a pic when you get yours on.

 

[2nd nature]

i went to two hd to find it.

Finshed up my pump tonight. I did not have a bit to get it all in very tight spots but I think it turned out well. It is allot smoother than it was when I started so that makes me feel like I acomplished something :arms: whoo hoo The ridges you see in the pics I really can't feel with my hand, so the transition is pretty clean. I will probably send the impeller to impros to be cut back next week.

NICE JOB!!

Im using a dremel to do mine and it dosnt look as nice as yours.

What did you use, bits, method, etc.

Thanks-NICK

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

The dremel extension helps out alot with getting in tight spaces. The medium sanding bit I used to get the big stuff, the small I used to get closer to the veins, the large 120 sanding wheel I used to blend wherever I could reach with it, mainly in the center section on the pump and around the pump cone. Then I just used 80 grit emry cloth followed up by 150 grit. I was going to use a finer grit but that would be over kill IMO. The files helped with some if the tight spots as well.....it makes it a little rough but I went over it with 80 grit and that smoothed it out again.

 

[2lick]

Cool man thats just the explination Im looking for. I need to go buy that extention I think and that flappy wheel those will get me through it. Thanks again and nice job tell us how it turns out and what you notice.


Thanks-NICk

Finshed the nozzel as well. Started out at about 81.75-82.0mm and ended up at 83.67mm (measured vertically) and 83.76 (measured side to side).....so for a dremel it is pretty close. This is not as thick as a aftermarket nozzel so I did not want to bore it out much more, plus I'm running a stubby cone so I kept it just under 84mm as opposed to my original target of 84.25mm.
