Custom/Hybrid Superfreak Intake Grates

[jloria]

Any specific grates that you guys r running or that I should stay away from?

SF -4.3 glass

I have an R&D aquavein type grate and a RIVA(not sure which one)

I used to run the WORX 201 on my old SJ.

50/50 mix of surf and FW...

Engine if it matters:
JM's 781BB
Hooker 10-16
Solas Mag
B-pipe

Thanks!

I'm currently using a Worx 201 and it's a good all around choice.

Jetmaniac (and Tem?) recommend the Jet Dynamics with some mods done to it. wider wing, casting flaws cleaned up as I recall...

I also have a heavily modded R&D that I plan on trying. It has been deepened and has a much more agressive scoop at the back and a longer "wing" on it. Tem likes alot of scoop to suck down the lighter carbon hulls, especially in the surf. However, it might not be as critical on the glass hull due to a little extra weight.

I am light, at 125lbs, so I may need as much scoop as I can.

Which JD grate would that be?

I tried searching but man...

Im running the aquavein x3 years and no issues with it in a Freak.

Yours is glass too. I have jet dynamics and I had to grind the crap out of it to get it to clear the driveshaft.

Im running the deep jet dynamics on both of our freaks. very happy with it. takes a little grinding(or milling) to open up the rear sect to blend it nicely into the pump tunnel,some clearance on center rib, and i spaced the front down about 3/8" to get to sit nicer in hull, i like the idea of it not protruding lower than pump shoe also, not as worried about cracking the shoe from aggressive beaching.

Like my worx 201 a lot. Had to shim the front down a little bit.

Ballers use a Rapid 201 grate.

Ballers use a Rapid 201 grate.

I assume that's the one that came before the Worx?

Worx 201 works well, but deep Jet Dynamics works better on badass hull. I have run both on my badass.

from the looks of your grate, this is what I found on Blowsion

Is this the JD intake one everyone is recommending?

They also sell this deep top loader:

The ends are curved on this one...2007 older SJ though

Here's a picture of another JD Intake grate that I might pick up from a member here.

The ends r different on this one too. Has a flat side then goes to points on the other side. I was told material might have been added to the scoop.

Just trying to figure out the recommended one.

I may just keep the aquavein or pick up a WORX 201. I had the 201 on my last ski and it worked pretty well.

I know they all work well, ideally I'd like to find the recommended one.

Thanks for the info...Did you try any other grates?

 

[Jr Freestyle]

Anyone try an ATP grate on a badass ?

 

[TheBuzzard]

rapid, jetpro and worx are the exact same grate with different logos.
