Well yesterday I went and picked up my new to me 96 super jet. Well actually the vin says 97 and so does the pink slip. The registration says it was built in 96 but is a year 97. So what year is it?
Ok so I'm super stoked!! I use to own a 90 square nose with a 650. I put a pipe and some aftermarket stuff on the old 650 but just found it to be underpowered all the time. I rode the heck out of it until I met up with a guy out on the Delta that let me ride his RN that had a 701 ported to a 760 and all the goodies. Well the next day I had my square up for sale because I just could not go back to such an underpowered ski compared to the one I rode. So for the last year of so I have been looking very hard for a RN with mods and in pretty good condition.
I found this one and it seems to be built pretty well and runs awesome!! I have not ridden the ski yet because I need to get some CF numbers and register it. I tried to get all the details I could from the owner on all the mods so I can keep a list of the parts and brands if I ever have problems. I would really appreciate your advice on this ski. I am wanting to do mostly freestyle type ridding with it. I plan on installing some foot holds and new Hydoturf as my first project. Ill post some pics of the ski and hopefully everyone can let me know what aftermarket parts you can see in the engine compartment. Let me know what you think about the mods and if they are toward freestyle ridding or not.
Here is what I know so far about the mods "I think"
Engine 701 bored and ported by protec to a 760. Owner says 84.5 or 85 mm pistons. What would that equal out to in CC's? I also got the 701 cyl's and pistons that were original. They have a mild port job done and are 61x cyls and are 2 over.
pipe, He says Factory type 9 but I'm not sure. It does not have an electronic injector. Factory pipe manifold.
Head is a protec Girdle setup. Not sure on the dome cc's. Right now the engine is showing 160 on the front and 165 in the rear with my compression gauge with both plugs out and full throttle.
Carbs are 44mm Black Jack carbs.
Intake manifold is a R&D.
Not sure what type of reed spacer is has.
AC racing pole??
UMI bars and turn plate.
Bilge 360.
Protec Drop nozzle. I would like to invert this.
Not sure on the impeller. Can you tell what brand?
Works intake and ride plate but not sure if they are good or not.
Hull has tubbies II's that are glassed in.
Ok sorry for the long post. Would love to lean more about the ski. Let me know what you think as well. Thanks.
