So you guys are thinking a supercharger isnt worth it? What about a turbo with a small intercooler inside the ski?

snow mobiles do it a lot and it works amazingly well. but reed valve setup and pressure values along with what expansion chamber to run is what we are working on right now with our drag sled. as far as on a stand up... idk how much faster id feel safe with my 750sx going lol

with the s/c it would anytime power from stop to full throttle..

for the time and money why not just build a 1000cc+ huge bore motor? will be lighter, run better, be easier to tune, be more reliable, and be just as powerful.
what are you going to be doing with the motor anyways? its not a common mod for a reason.

i agree with stanton, n/a is the best option for all around. unless you are building a specific event oriented boat like drags or slalom...lol

see i love the turbo idea as opposed to a big bore 12000$ engine but fitting it under a stand up hood is a little rediculous. we are doing it on a 1992 sea doo with a 717 swapped in it just to be stupid and have the sound lol

717 is timebomb with only a factory pipe....
I wouldn't even consider adding forced induction to it...

I was going to start a overhaul club at college and I have a 650 haul and 650 motor and was like hey, lets try to turbo it or super charge it. But if it, seems near impossible or way to expensive, then I might just do a 1100 swap into the 650 haul that we are gonna overhaul as well.

Sounds like fun, DO IT!!!!!
*and to help you out and avoid confusion the word for the body of a boat/ski is hull.

really?? oh well guess we will find out
i dont have any money into the setup so im not too worried about it

Yeah my bad I meant hull, and still looking for a motor to turbo, may be going towards a different approach and try to get a motorcycle or dirt bike motor in one. Just trying a bunch of crazy ideas while I have the chance and money!

Can someone simply explain how exactly a supercharger/turbo 2 stroke works??
Someone I know argues passionately (he's a dip) that 2 stroke blown engines do not exist. Apparently all the high horsepower 2 stroke turbo'd snowmachines in the northern united States either do no exist or are actually weaker than before 2 stroke and all the jet skis people talk about turbo'ing in this thread are also weaker non-existent jet skis. I read a 13 page thread on pwctoday and no one ha a good explanation of why it worked.
So I just want an explanation because he keeps on talking about
Here's a simple explanation from him about why 2 strokes cannot be blown..

Just an 800cc HO motor with a turbo, and he's getting 14psi boost why cant a stand up have that?

Turbo and water probably won't mix very well.

He is confused. His "explanation" also explains why 2 strokes can't run...ever. According to him, all the intake air would just blow out the exhaust. He forgets that the piston moves up and down in the bore and actually closes off the exhaust port, once the exhaust port is closed the turbo can build pressure in the cylinder.
