MSD enhancer
Dual rule 500gph bilges
Waterproof Rotary switch
Straight Bars -Shortened stock turnplate
Blowsion limiting rope
Blowsion freestyle pump cone
Blowsion silver fittings

Wetracer hood catch
Sato finger throttle
Odi grips + locks

Be sure to update us on how you will be fitting a SJ tank and B pipe in there.

From what I heard, the SJ tank actually gives more room for a limited pipe to fit. Of course the tank will take some work to get in there

*sniff* miss her already

I would also look into a new prop this winter, the blaster prop is good but a nice concord, swirl or hooker prop could be great.

Looks nice man definely a step up from the old superjet.

Nice fx! I stepped up from a 550 and i love how a stock fx rips. I cant wait to convert to a 144 and add a b pipe!

Also, you may wanna ditch the choke and add a primer kit. Other then geting rid of all the stock purple on my ski i could, all ive done was a primer kit and it was well worth the money

what do you have installed in your fuel lines?

Fuel filters

swapped the modified stock nozzle for one off an X2 - it has a centrally located steering arm

I have a SJ tank waiting to go in next....

I finally got my limited pipe - here's a pic of the fx-1 just about done! I just need to find a new location for the water separator and a do few little things

Check out the first post for the final mod list

No problem! I can't wait to take it out either

Update: I am pretty close to having the carbs tuned, but as the fx-1 sits right now, it fckin rocks! Lots of low end power, nice and light. A year ago I had a stock 650 Sj, and so having a limited 62t fx1 is quite a change! Despite having a stock waterbox, the ski is LOUD - louder than my friends' limited superjets - I'm not sure why. Also, having the SJ tank was quite nice - one tank goes a long way

Today I switched out the stock 122mm pump shoe with a bored out stock shoe to improve flow to the superjet pump. I had to grind on the hull to get it in, but there was no alignment or adjustment needed and it works awesome! I was avoiding installing a SJ pump shoe because then you have align it just right or the pump will cavitate. The whole thing took only 3 hrs

these pics were before I smoothed the transitions out

What is the inside diameter of the bored pump shoe?

 

[MNTURBO]

137mm

I found a '07 turnplate for $10 and modified it to accept straight bars - the difference will be about -2". The bars are made of a solid rod of aluminum. before I install it i'll put washers between the lock nuts and the turnplate

Here's how the FX-1 sits today

Nice, that is exactly how I have mine set up on my ski, cheap, easy and works awesome.
