Freestyle Wdk rev re-build

[GIL]

lol you all good thats funny about the REVs i hope mine ride ok thinkin about adding tubbies to it

To this day I don't know what the setup difference was. Both guys are really good friends of mine and felt I could never ask due insulting one of them. LOL All I know is the blue one that I rode I didn't want to get off of it. I freekin loved it!!! And the white one could never wait to get me off of it-30mph and BAM SHAZAM THANK YOU MAM-you were tossed off like a rag doll on crack!!! LOL

Lol too funny! i think i might have that white one your talking about i got it from a local guy who got it from a local guy :nutkick:

 

[Danman108]

So tonight i started building the engine for the ski and as of know i have the SBT tru & welded crank in the 61x cases. tomorrow i plan on puttting the jet maniac 83mm ported cylinder on and all the other goodies. pics soon to come

 

[ProSouth]

Are you going to port the cases?

I have REV button and superjet top deck, I also run 75 mm risers on WDK pole & bracket. I took her for the 1st time few days and did get some unexpected "BAM SHAZAM" ...but overall I am impressed with this hull. I also talked to Toby, and he suggested trim system and raider exit nozzle. It will change the water flow and avoid wipe outs at higher speeds in this fashion.

 

[Danman108]

No I have not ported the cases I talk to jetmaniac and a few others that say re-working 61x cases is pointless but what's ur thoughts?

 

[Danman108]

But urs was a bottom deck from an sj? Because what IV heard is the rev bottom deck is 2" wider so that plus tubbies might smoothin thing out better I hope lol

Try not using an intake grate (or using a stock intake grate).

I wouldn't have thought it was pointless, but if Chris said it then its probably really not worth it, but you could find some 62t cases and swap everything over later

My rev seems to want to throw me at higher speeds as well.

 

[Danman108]

What is not running intake great going to do for me? Cuz if its a big plus I would have not bought that damn worx

 

[ProSouth]

It kinda makes the rear end "slip". Pretty good for turning back into a setup wake, or drifting around.

 

[yamanube]

I find that the added loose-ness in the ride makes it more forgiving at high speeds. How well it works varies for each person and setup, I liked my REV and my Superjet better without a grate.

 

[102nd7]

I should mention I'm not running an intake grate atm. but have an ATP torrent on the way. I mite end up throwing an r&d scoop grate on there till it gets here. Can let you know after this weekend if it helps or hurts

 

[Danman108]

Yea plz do that o got a worx 201 god I just want this project to end lol the footholds and wider tray should be nice

That is true, rev is wider a bit. Mine is as stated, bottom WDK/REV, top SJ. I got it from Macdog, he did plenty of work on it. I am running Worx plate WDK -2 pole/bracket & 75mm Riser on CF steering (I am 6'4"). As others stated it does drift nicely and overall setup does matter. But before I do tubbies, i go with trim as others do.

 

[Danman108]

Ya i have a trim its an X-metal ring raider noozle and pump nozzle stock bore and a hydraulic trim that has been heavily modified and uses mineral oil instead of break fluid.

 

[102nd7]

Well ride report for you. I'm sorry but I didn't get to swap in those intake grates into my hull. By riding buddy took out both of his skis today and they are both his so I continued to ride with no grate. But I did get a chance to swap reduction nozzles I had a nozzle that exited the ski strait back at no angle. Swapped that out to a 65u nozzle "5* upward tilt"and it did wonders with the stability of the ski slow speed high speed.

 

[102nd7]

Put an ATP torrent intake great on my ski set it at maximum scoop. I don't think it had much of an affect on the stability of my ski. It seemed to make the ski ride nose high from 0-5 mph then plane out and plant the back end. Hope what little input I have helps some.
