billet parts

[waxhead]

If you could make anything in billet for your ski
what would you make ???

I have a cnc workshop working with me to make parts to sell
but what do you want
I will have heads soon and driveshafts
what else do you want

[butti]

grab handles for the b1!!!!

[Blaster94]

A start/STop/Lanyard Combo.
I second the billet grab handles.
Also a billet Fire Ext. Cover.

[SuperJETT]

Hulls? Now that would be trick! Sorry.....

[waxhead]

grab handles for the blaster
where would you hook them
Hey i ride standup

Blaster whats wrong witht he stock start switch combo ????

this is the workshop of the place we will be making parts in

[SuperJETT]

How about a nice billet trim lever? 2 finger full, not just one and not full hand either. Smooth (pro-tec's is terrible), with adjustable throw.

[SuperJETT]

Man, you'd think they are performing heart surgery in there. Clean!

[SkiDaddy]

Magoo once wanted some billet cases so he could go bigger than +10mm for stroker cranks!:p

[Blaster94]

grab handles for the blaster
where would you hook them
Hey i ride standup

Blaster whats wrong witht he stock start switch combo ????

The blaster has plastic grab handles beneath the seat.

Stock start/stop switch is a plastic housing.Somebody on PWCToday is working on that supposedly.

[SkiDaddy]

Very tidy shop, but what's with the overhead fans?:confused:

[waxhead]

here is the first thing of the mill
this will start this week
please dont ask pricing just yet as we are still working it out but your usa dollar makes stuff cheap for you

[waxhead]

the fans are to get rid of the heat created by the machines
this is in brisbane where its hot or hotter
tha place is airconed but still its hot in there

[waxhead]

How about a nice billet trim lever? 2 finger full, not just one and not full hand either. Smooth (pro-tec's is terrible), with adjustable throw.
I like the sound of that
Do you think there is enough strength in two finger to pull a trim nossle on

how about decent driveshafts
there is the grade that wsm use which is (you make up your mind)
then there is the grade that yamaha use which is not bad
and there is a stronger grade again

[waxhead]

we are also looking at charging flywheels but thats a bit down the track at the moment
We have been pulling apart a stock one and having alook at it
as well as its magnet strength etc

[Mile9c1]

I could use an FX-1 short shaft, cheaper tham OEM but just as nice. I need it to be able to handle 200 horsepower.

[waxhead]

I am sure we could do that a custom length one
its the same spline

[butti]

dont leave out the b1 when yur doing driveshafts;)

[waxhead]

the shafts you can see are for the b1
they were the first done
because they are the skis that wear them out the most

[romack991]

i would make a billet square to round pole conversion bracket. i got a lot of emails after i posted up my welded one. billet would look trick.

[waxhead]

thanks Romack
can you post your picture again please

[butti]

well how much for the b1 shafts then?

[waxhead]

i would make a billet square to round pole conversion bracket. i got a lot of emails after i posted up my welded one. billet would look trick.
Thanks Romack
can you please post a picture of it

[waxhead]

opps double post

regarding the blaster shafts we are working out pricing and will know with in two weeks

[romack991]

i'm sitting here in detroit on buisness right now so no large pics.

go to my site in my sig and the pole section has pics of it.

[ketsair]

how about a little barrelroll guy to replace my STUPID ram hood ornament on my truck:D

[madoyster]

How about a handpole bracket with catches for the hoodhooks as one pc. Also a notch at the front so the bracket can be removed without taking off all the cables.

[waxhead]

How about a handpole bracket with catches for the hoodhooks as one pc. Also a notch at the front so the bracket can be removed without taking off all the cables.
i like that idea about the hood hooks
While the idea of the notch sounds good i am wondering why you would want it once you have fitted the new part
i am going to look into one with the hood hooks on the pole

[Phill]

How about a hood latch? Not just the one piece that Blowsion sells...but all three pieces....that would be cool!


Is all the stuff you are going to make be at least slightly less expensive than most of the other options out there?

[waxhead]

I am trying to price myself on the lower end of the market as well as keep quality as i dont have the overheads that a larger bussiness has

also since i am based in australia it will be like having a 25% discount
I am looking at hood latches but i am not sure why you would want a 3 piece one is it just for bling factor ???

i think your on the right track,best of luck to you for sure!

what will shipping from aussi be like for us in the US?

[Phill]

I just think it looks kind of funny to go through the trouble to replace just part of the latch.....maybe I should just shut up and be happy that someone is trying produce some nice quality stuff at a fair price.


I hope this works out good for you....It would be nice to see some more stuff out there....at better prices!

[waxhead]

shipping to usa from aussie is alot cheaper than when you ship to me in australia
I sent a flyhwheel to usa and it cost me $34 aussie thats about $25 american
so it gives you an idea

[waxhead]

I hope this works out good for you....It would be nice to see some more stuff out there....at better prices!
Thanks Phil
i understand it looks strange but i think the whole latch would be hard to maek and since it doesnt cause a proplem at all i think thats why they have gone about it the way they did

I am working with my ignition company at the moment about flywheels
The ultimate idea to make reasonable priced flywheels
We are able to cut light weight ring gears etc for the flywheel

[beachjunkey]

I like blaster94's idea of the start/stop switch but it'd be cooler with a bilge switch integrated.

I also love ketsair's idea of the hood ornament!

[madoyster]

A turnplate that has adjustable handlebar clamps that can be used for umi and other brands of handlebars.:woot:

[Blaster94]

Front and Back Billet plates for a 100.00 bill.:bananalama:

[ketsair]

I also love ketsair's idea of the hood ornament!
i actually have a friend trying to make me one right now:Banane01:

[waxhead]

A turnplate that has adjustable handlebar clamps that can be used for umi and other brands of handlebars.:woot:

i am confused can you explain it differently

[godocgo]

wax,

how about a good blaster steering system. i am open for new sponsors for any of your products.:biggrin:

lee

[waxhead]

we were discussing steering sytems yesterday and may have a look at it
my concern lee is how many i could sell
other wise its just not worth it and i end up losing money on the whole thing
i know i can sell superjet steering systems

[godocgo]

if you make them inexpensive enough, i think you can sell a couple of 100 over time. gordy probably has sold over 100 on ebay. you make a good one with sealed bearings that don't need replacing every season. i will buy 3.

it would be nice to have some other people to buy from. i don't like supporting companies that no longer want to support our sport.

how about pissers and throttles. i need 6 new pissers and you know who wants 12.00 a piece for 1.50 part. not to mention the 70.00 throttles that wear out and fade fast.

i was talking with a welder about making me a aluminum gas tank, can you do that.

also how about battery boxes. i am trying to get all the wieght down in the bottom of my hull.


but i would really really like to have a knock of the rad flyhweel covers to change timing without pulling the flywheel everytime.

[butti]

oooh ya the rad style flywheel cover is a good suggestion lee:notworthy:

[crammit442]

here is the first thing of the mill
this will start this week
please dont ask pricing just yet as we are still working it out but your usa dollar makes stuff cheap for you


http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1072292/0/nouser_1072/T0_-1_1072292.jpg (http://www.imagehosting.us/index.php?action=show&ident=1072292)

Why make the head a three piece design? Why not make it just the head and domes similar to ADA? Three pieces just give you more orings and more places to leak. One of the reasons the ADA is MUCH more desirable than the Riva head.

Charles

[Hogggman]

I might be interested in being an american distributor for you if you wanted to do that. I could stock a bunch of the popular items and it might work out better for everyone wanting to buy for shipping purposes. Pm me maybe we could talk details.

[madoyster]

The umi turnplate has the handlebar clamps set at an angle. However I have seen a shortened turnplate but it had straight bars on it, the clamps that hold the bars were set at 90 degreeshttp://usera.imagecave.com/madoyster/df_1.jpg
By having a shortened plate plus straight bars and the clamps straight, it pushes the handlebars even further forward.
http://usera.imagecave.com/madoyster/df_1a.jpg
Hope this helps, You can see the bars pushed forward in th second pic.

[waxhead]

Personally i have found the riva head to be an awesome head and thats why i am following its design
On a high hp 61x cylinder the sleeves and the alloy the sleeves run in can tend to move due to here open deck design
thats why lamey made his cylinders semi closed deck
the riva offers more support than the ada head
I have never had a riva head give me an issue at all as fas as leaking

Ok i understand about the superjet steering now i have never seen a ski with straight bars on it
i think they make them like that so they cant twist

Hoggman i will be in touch

Better than a rad cover what about an ignition you can adjust off your pc every 50 rpm with water injection and a total loss flywheel ???

[godocgo]

i would be willing to test your ignition system, i have been working with tim judge every weekend for 6 weeks building my mod and ss. we run the msd setups because they have allowed the most versatitlity. we might be willing to change if it proves to be similar. especially with the price of msd these days.

you can pm tim on pwctoday he is tjrace

if he likes them he can sell them for you. i know he is building 3 other mod blasters plus a couple of mod sj's.

pm me if you want, i will send you his # or his email address. he spends about 5 hrs a day on the phone. he needs more time to finish building ski's.

[waxhead]

the digital ignition i am selling has much more versatility than the msd
The total loss one is still in developemnnt as it uses a different type of pickup
the ignition is all done i am working on flywheel

[justincr250]

Id be interested in a turn plate for my SX-R. Id like my UMI bars moved forward 2-3". Stock pole.

[maddogster]

first of all to mill out crank cases would be a nightmare, not to mention the amount of hours for design. and secondly the handlepole bracket with the notch would work but it would have to be beefy. either that or a bolt on either side of the notch would make up for the lost material. waxhead, what files types and programs do you use for your cnc's. .cnc, .dnc, .prt solidworks, solidcam, autocad, inventor, mechanical?

[waxhead]

solid edge is what i am using and dxf as well as stl files
Crank cases is going to be to much i think at this stage and not really enough of a demand to make it worth while

I understand what you are saying about pole brackets
but i am not so sure of the advantage of having the hooks on there
Some one give me a good reason and explain it to me please

First thing of the mill will be heads and and shafts
i already have ignitions and i will be working on a total loss system that you can rely on

we are looking at casting some stuff up as well

[Freestyleriverrat]

A billit electronic box would be awsome, it would really make a statement on ski's in a spot that is usually all black. That would be allot of billit though.

[IceRocket1286]

Battery boxes for all types of skis would be cool.


id like a turnplate for my sxr! But im getting and xmw pole hopefully so I'll wait and see how that works out.

What about pump cones/reduction nozzles/steering nozzles of different sizes.

Those freestyle guys love to bore their pumps, so why not make some that are already bigger? Id like one for my squarenose...

[waxhead]

yeah thats a casting reduction nozzles but we have been thinking about pumps
dont think i will be amking an elcetric box its a lot of bling but i dont htink i would sell meany to make it worth while

[Freestyleriverrat]

an elcetric box its a lot of bling but i dont htink i would sell meany to make it worth while

Ture......it would be cool though. Now that I think of it a billit midshaft housing kit would be nice, with new bearings pressed in and the billit midshaft you are selling installed.....alll ready to bolt in. That should sell pretty well and that housing is not that difficult. I know I would be in the market....I need all that to put in my x-jet.....my 1990 style has a different bolt pattern than the 96+ and thicher midshaft that won't allow me to run my riva couplers. Let me know if you plan to make that stuff.

[waxhead]

I will do
we have lots of stuff planned and couplers is one of them
and you know we have the midshafts already
It would look cool to have an alloy lecy box but tont think we will me making one soon
Hey about a picture eteched int your head or screen printed on it
like you screen print on an american flag or something ???

I will look into the solid midbearing housing
i know that triton did them a while ago
my only concern is that you would have to be so carefull with you alignment on the engine otherwise it would wear shafts( thats good for me)
And not sure how much vibration it would transfer

[Mile9c1]

my 1990 style has a different bolt pattern than the 96+ and thicher midshaft that won't allow me to run my riva couplers.

I'm not sure which couplers you have, but all years of Superjet use the same couplers (and I've used billet couplers on several of them w/o problems).

I think a solid billet housing would be a very bad idea, your breaings wouldn't last very long at all. The rubber in the OEM housing not only allows for more misalignment, but it also allows for radial shaft movement when the engine moves. W/o rubber in there, all that load would be trasferred to your crank bearings and the housing bearings, and they'd wear quickly.

[waxhead]

Mile thats what i was thinking

On the other hand thanks for the great ideas coming out

Tell me whats every ones favourite style of intake grate
double deep style, shallow grate , early ocean pro( ok just kidding)

[Freestyleriverrat]

I'm not sure which couplers you have, but all years of Superjet use the same couplers (and I've used billet couplers on several of them w/o problems).


The early 1990 models have a 22mm subshaft that was quickly changed within that production year. I forget the reasoning behind it, I talked to the guys at protec and they know all the specifics on the early subshafts, but it is a different diameter and won't fit. I need to get later model bearing housing for the for the x-jet anyway so I'll get that and the midshaft new.

http://www.pro-tecperformance.com/couplers.htm

[waxhead]

i can help you out on the midshaft
will have pricing soon for you

[michael950]

The Blaster 1 seat clamps:
http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=35708

(though stainless may look better)

[Prem1x]

dont think i will be amking an elcetric box its a lot of bling but i dont htink i would sell meany to make it worth while

I would love just an electrical box cover, but for Polaris skis. Part #5433119. It fits my Octane and a dozen or so other Polari. The stock plastic ones warp.

[waxhead]

ok the seat clams i understand as blasters are always coming open there
i will have a look into that

[Idok]

how bout single carb intake mani's?

[waxhead]

how bout single carb intake mani's?
i am sorry i will only sell stuff i believe in
and i dont believe that a single carb is a good thing
I know this will cause a debate on here but i am sticking to my guns on this one
Everything I make i wont to support 100%
if i made a single carb manifold i would be wanting to tell you to get rid of it and fit twins
Some companies may be interested in doing this
"waxracing products " will not be one of these companies

But Idok please offer other sugestions about other parts
You guys have come up with some great ideas and will keep my machinest busy for along time
I like you guys but i am not sure he does anymore hahaha

[Freestyleriverrat]

Machine some mikuni pump body block off plates for dual carb set up running a remote high volume pump. Anouther simple part.....engrave waxracing products on it with a trick logo.

[Mile9c1]

How about a billet pump shoe?

[waxhead]

river rat thats a great idea and i will look into that

Mile we are looking at that but it will be cast like an R&d

http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1099853/0/nouser_1099/T0_-1_1099853.jpg (http://www.imagehosting.us/index.php?action=show&ident=1099853)

[waxhead]

Answer me this
If you were building a flash new ski and were trying to give it as much bling as you could
would you like to be able to send a picture to us at waxracing products and have it screenprinted on the head before it leaves for you
it would cost more to have it done of course
we are looking into it as a custom thing for people
say an american flag or a picture of you backflipping ( in my case it would have to be some one else)
but you get the idea
get back to me please

[madoyster]

Wax, give Maddogster a pm I am sure he would love to draw some stuff up for you, he gets bored on the weekends when he's not working and doesn't have any school projects due.

[Mile9c1]

Mile we are looking at that but it will be cast like an R&d


Is that the deep one? I've heard a few people say they don't like that one. I was thinking make it like the Jet Dynamics shoe, but billet would be even stronger (specifically thinking about the threads).

[waxhead]

ok if the jetdynamics one is more popular then i will look at one like that
i am running an xft one in my ski
works great
Billet is alot more expensive and casting is strong enough and thats why i going that way

Thanks Oyster if something comes up and i need your help i will get hold off you

[Mile9c1]

I forgot about the XFT pump shoe. What's it sell for?

IMO you should go after that parts that nobody else makes. Or make similar parts, but with a spin. Like the picture on the head thing. While it's not for me, someone might like it.

[waxhead]

to try for other stuff that not MANY people make
wax racing has no plans to make scuppers ,K&n adaptors or bow eyes

Things which we have in the plans are

Heads
Total loss
Cylinders
Drive shafts
Couplers
Lowered Pole brackets
Steering systems
We are also looking at a some other things but thats a bit down the track

We had a meeting last night and were discussing products as well our vaules

I will not let us make anything that i would not feel happy suporting so no siongle carb manifolds

[Matt_E]

Interested in a pump shoe, definetely...

[waxhead]

but its one of the parts we hope to make

[Matt_E]

Reed spacers perhaps...it seems the ones already available are a bit overpriced, and they should be easy to make, no?

[Matt_E]

Total Loss mounting plates....I'd take one or two. :biggrin:

[waxhead]

we wont be doing reed spacers as every one can make them
and i dont want to be in competition like that
where the parts get driven down in price so much that it puts both people out of bussiness
Wax racing is focusing on the parts that people cant make and that are very exp because of that
we will offer some competiton to those people that are already doing that and hopefully sell some product and make it more affordable at the same time

[hangtime]

How about a hood latch? Not just the one piece that Blowsion sells...but all three pieces....that would be cool!


Is all the stuff you are going to make be at least slightly less expensive than most of the other options out there?

ya man ,I got the one piece Blowsion latch and it's a waste of money for just the latch :rolleyes:

[Matt_E]

Phill supports that point of view. :biggrin:

[romack991]

what about stuffers or something for the 61X, i remember seeing a homemade set before. nobody does those. lol, is that for good reason???

[waxhead]

I have a set of those in my fx1
i dont know that they actually make that much of a difference

[Mile9c1]

what about stuffers or something for the 61X, i remember seeing a homemade set before. nobody does those. lol, is that for good reason???

There's not really much there to stuff, the reeds are relatively small.

Matt, reedspacer kits are only like $60 with gaskets and hardware. You can don't much else to your ski, for cheaper. Used ones sll for around $30 on a regular basis.

[romack991]

wax, did you still want any pics of my square to round bracket?

[Matt_E]

I know....I think that 60 bucks is pretty spendy for that piece.
I think I got mine for 20 or so.

[waxhead]

yes please can you send me pics to
wax@waxracing.com
i am not sure i would make them as i dont know how many i could sell
but its worth looking into
thanks

[Superjet3]

billet powervalve 760 yamaha cylinder? that would be sexy.

[michael950]

Here's another Blaster Part; oil glass block-off (w/ NO WRITING) - UMI had one too:

[unclehulka13]

a billet latch for the actual hood latch. The part thats on the hood. They're sickly priced at the dealer.

[Mile9c1]

That part's $11 at Riva (for a Superjet).

[waxhead]

billet powervalve 760 yamaha cylinder? that would be sexy.

What you only want 760 :cool2:

[godocgo]

if you make the cylinders keep them cast, the billet holds to much heat.

can you make any length drive shaft? are the shafts billet steel?

[waxhead]

shafts are one grade higher than the oem material
i dont knw the grade i can find out its not my job tho machinest do it
they have been running them in there blasters
yes to any length
will just need to know over all distance

[madoyster]

ok if the jetdynamics one is more popular then i will look at one like that
i am running an xft one in my ski
works great
Billet is alot more expensive and casting is strong enough and thats why i going that way

Thanks Oyster if something comes up and i need your help i will get hold off you
Not me. pm Maddogster he's the Engineer. I'm the one that just want's all this cool Chit. lol

[MADMAT]

I don't know if it could be billet or where it could go but how about some cheap little thingamajiggy that us SJ owners can plug our plug caps into when cranking the motor. Like the SXR's have.

As I understand it, this is what causes our MSD's to fry out.

[njfl]

Quick-Removal Carb Mounting Plate

How about a two-piece (sandwiched) add-on carb adapter plate to provide the quick change functionality found on the R&D Dominator intake. That way people could buy this to make their standard R&D intake, (or Riva, Protec, stock dual 38's, etc.) be quick-change. You could try it for one, probably the standard R&D, then if it sells, extend the line to cover Pro-Tec, Riva, etc (they have different center-to-center spacings).

Picture the current R&D piece for the dominator intake (below). It would require two of them (with a gasket, or better yet, o-rings in-between), using the exact same outline (or maybe you have to modify slightly to clear intake body). The bottom one would bolt to the intake with flush taper head bolts, through the two carb mounting holes.

The top plate would have studs to accept the carbs (maybe tack flush, tapered bolts to the underside).

The bottom plate would have threads in the diagonallly-spaced holes to accept the upper piece, providing the quick-change action.

[h2odesperado]

I don't know if it could be billet or where it could go but how about some cheap little thingamajiggy that us SJ owners can plug our plug caps into when cranking the motor. Like the SXR's have.

That would be a great idea!!:bigeyes: :bigeyes: It would make it so much easier than trying to hold a plug against the block while holding the boat still while holdin a rag over the hole or w/e. I've seen a lot of other boats with this and I've always wished the SJ's had one. Why hasn't an a/m company come out with one?

[waxhead]

both good ideas
i am not sure how to get the twin carb plate to work as the studs for the manifild would come up at the same place the as the studs for the carb unless you were to modify manifold
i will have a think on it

The plate for your spark leads sounds like a good idea
sounds easy to make as well

[njfl]

both good ideas
i am not sure how to get the twin carb plate to work as the studs for the manifild would come up at the same place the as the studs for the carb unless you were to modify manifold

I tried to get that accross in my text, but I can be a little roundabout with wording.

Use bolts with a tapered head and taper the plates to allow them to mount flush.

On the bottom plate, attach it with these.

For the top plate, make the stud out of one of these (tack it to the plate) in the same fashion, but upside down.

Joe

[waxhead]

i will look into it
its a great idea
i understand waht you are talking about
would you be happy to redill the manifold

[njfl]

i will look into it
its a great idea
i understand waht you are talking about

I wouldn't mind redrilling it, but if there were a direct bolt-on way (without removing the intake assembly from the motor, it would be even more attractive easy upgrade that the average guy could do.

I can help you with some tech info on the heads you are going to made.
I work on a CNC machine here in Denmark and I have made heads like the Riva but not in 2 pices. Contakt me if you want..

[MADMAT]

As I understand it, this is what causes our MSD's to fry out.

Anything yet? I really don't ever want to buy another enhancer if possible:irked:

[waxhead]

buy an inferno ignition
you dont have to worry about he enhancer frying then

No on that part we havent started anything
we are to busy working on the stroker cranks and the heads at the moment

just stick the plugs in them and ground them.

[waxhead]

what he said will work well
irs always good practice to ground plugs

just make sure there isnt fuel around other wise
sparky sparky bang

just stick the plugs in them and ground them.

I know. Thats just a pain in the arse though when your a 1 man crew trying to wrench and crank and..........:cussing:

[h2odesperado]

some aftermarket company or SOMEONE needs to make grounding caps for the plugs that mount to the block. It doesn't look like it would be too difficult, probably inexpensive too. I just don't get how the SJ has been around for 16 years and no one has put them on it.

Billet:
I would like to see a billet version of the X-Metal pole. Not the body, but the top and bottom pieces that are welded to the extrusion... I assume that would be stronger than cast... not that I have had an issues, but it would be a nice addition, or upgrade to the pole..

I think Paul told me that Pat himself was looking into this. Don't know if it's a "one-off" thing or if Pat may be planning on upgrading his poles in the process. :sneaky:
