Wetjet intake

[98yota]

Hi everyone! I received my Wetjet intake (thanks Blasterdude!) and am getting everything setup to throw it on. I was curious if I should clean up the inside a little. I know it's not supposed to be a mirror finish on the inside but is the factory rough texture optimal?

On the intake side will have the Wetjet 46mm SBN Carb, OceanPro Vortex flame arrestor, Wetjey intake, and Boysean two stage reeds. Hopefully this makes for a solid 61x single carb setup. I'm just trying to get a little more responce if polishing helps.

You want the intake rough to help with fuel atomization.

thanks, thats good to know since Im about to put one on mine too.
I was looking at the casting marks and rough sides and wondering if a quick flapwheel in there would help

Thanks! At least that one less thing to worry about.

how did the conversion work? thinking about doing this to my superjet. you only had to buy the top part of the intake right? not the reed cages and stuff too?

Unfortunately I haven't thrown it together yet. These intakes are one piece so the reed cages bolt straight to the intake eliminating the separate piece between the intake and the case. I'll be sure to let you know how it performs once I get it on the water!

Make sure you have the correct length bolts. The factory 61x manifold is thicker that the wetjet. If you re-use the same bolts you will crack your case driving them in too far

that's some great info right there!

Cleaning up the casting marks to improve air flow will only help. Will it help enough to notice, probably not.

Thanks for the heads up! If it's minimal I might just use washers. If not bolts are cheap!
