I thought I saw a post where someone said they had an exhaust on a 66e, so far I can't find any! so is it real or not?
66E A/M exhaust- are there any?

FPP made a twin pipe set-up for the GP hulls, in the GPR hulls with the 66E motor, they used the Mag and Mid chambers for a 1200R system to make it work.
for a superjet huill your option is to make one yourself if you are so inclinded or wait and maybe have a waterdawg one by the end of next season

yeah I am poor and don't like to wait.( life is tough huh?:icon16
the main thing I want is the manifold, the rest I think I can mod or fab. seems like I have seen one that looked like a riva for a sj - so I was just askin. anyone have pics or own one?

Your best option imo even if you're a do-it-yourselfer is to buy the Waterdawg PIPE (assuming you're putting the engine into a Superjet). He's done a ton of R&D... he might even have complete pipes in stock, I know he has a bunch of manifolds...

yes that is the best option- but I have dream, a thousand points of light, yeah I am tired. sorry, anyway- my goal is to have a nearly or completely bolt in 66e. before you go off, I am trying to use what I have, why buy more stuff when you can make what you have work? I haven't started yet but I think it can be done. I just need to source all the parts before I go A-Team on it or McGuyver- whichever you like. what is already out there that can work? can I cut a 1200 or 1300 manifold and slap a patch on it to make a manifold? there are other options. the chinese or japanese pic of the 66e has what appears to be a b-pipe in it. so I just need a manifold and I am in there like swimwear.
this is the best group of do it yourselfers out there, are saying you guys are scared of a little modification? I know you all are not wealthy, some of you can afford it but some of you guys redifine the word thrifty. lets get some ideas goin.
or you can just I am crazy and that it can't be done- and that will put me into "I'll show you!" mode and I can spend three times what jeff's pipe setup costs to show you!:djsmilie:

I say go for it, we kicked the idea around for a while, even started on a couple of them. In the end, we grew short on time and just wanted to get the damn thing done so we ordered Jeff's. It's completely do-able (is that a word?)

what about a drypipe manifold with bpipe chamber?

my holdup it what can bolt to the 66e and be going the right direction to put a b- pipe in it? the stock mani goes the opposite direction. this is why I was looking for an aftermarket mani- but that would probably route the same huh?

What do you already have?
How much is your time and effort worth?
Did you see that dirtbike pipe on Ebay that someone welded to a 650SX (I think) manifold? I wonder how it worked...

factory pipe made a single wet pipe for the 66e with the riva name on it. I actually saw one in an old riva catalog once, however I've never been able to find one and I've looked for years. WD's pipe has evolved quite abit and works very well. He's run many, many different chambers. I personally have run 5 different wd chambers.

not debating that the wd parts work or aren't good quality or anything of that nature- I flat out don't have the money to have it shipped to me much less afford the parts to convert the ski- which I should be selling to regain my money instead fo looking for a badazz motor for my ski.
So I am trying to find a way to use the parts I have on hand. a complete running 701 sj and a complete running xl800 and some other spare parts. thats all. I can weld and have some tools not probably the shop bob has but I mess stuff up pretty good.
I have some ideas but before I go the hard way I just wanted to see if there was an easier way.

Tom, if you're going to the trouble of fabrication an exhaust chamber out of stainless steel, why not just make the manifold out of stainless and have a water jacket around it.
The complete WDK exhaust is 995 bucks and the exhaust manifold is around 700, if you think that you can do it cheaper in materials and labor you might be making a few.
WDK just put up some new pictures and prices today for the 66e conversion parts. http://www.waterdawgkustomz.com/gp800bb.php

Ok I haven't seen a 66e exhaust manifold but... this is what I would try. Hack up a 66e manifold for a flange, weld or otherwise block off the water jacket, drill and tap both cylinders for water inlet and leave the manifold dry. I don't know how important watercooling is for the manifold, but if you build out of relatively thin wall Alu. it should not hold much heat like a cast manifold.
Then fab up a manifold to the 66e flange that allows the use of a B pipe headpipe and chamber (2 tubes into one with a 3 bolt flange). Also I have no idea how much less/more room you have on the exhaust side(The 66e leans one way right?) That Japanese 66e on e-bay kinda rolled the B-pipe under the manifold... maybe you could do that...
ok, enough bad ideas for today....

My plan is even simpler- just wanted to see what the a/m manifold looked like. but since it is scarce I guess I will have to wing it.

do you still need to see what the stock manifold looks like?

I prefer the professor from giligians island.
why don't we (you) cast our own manifold that will bolt up to a b-pipe head pipe? we (you) could melt down some parts you have laying around :afro:
theres a waterdawg manifold at a local shop down here. i can take some pics.

I did some research a while back and making a sand cast doesn't seem that hard.
