More pics I wanted to do something about that stupid notch at the split.. but just wanted to get done

OK... I need to catch this thread up to where I am now. Now where was I... I think i was just starting to port. I started with the intake and exhaust manifolds. I matched the manifolds to the gaskets and widened where I could. I will just post a bunch a pics with some captions. They both...

People that don't get all they way to left while turning left at light... Why!? It only helps you and the other side see if they are going to get smashed by a speeding car... I see people all the time in the furthest right side of the left turning lane... Drives me crazy

I used to where knee braces for snocross, actually I used the evs visions... I havent used them in water. But I imagine they would hold up ok, or at least as good as they do out of water. The knee cup on mine started falling off after a few years... But that was with a ton of abuse. I think if...

I am starting to get frequent back pain now that I spend more time at desk then I ever have before... a crappy chair probably isn't helping, Chiro says I have a bulged disk. It seems to heal a bit and feel better when I am not sitting poorly all the time. As for advice, not that I always...

... I know.. I am slackin hard.. I have a bunch of updates I have to make. I hope this week I can get it caught up to where I am now

Hey Guys, Thanks for the replies and sorry I have not got around to responding for so long... been way too busy not getting enough done on my build.... I do see the value of a boost bottle if tuned correctly. I like the idea but I think it would only give me gains if I had a twin carb. With a...

....correct... I had some major "scope creep"

Ya I was pretty happy with my wet foamed ratty SN with a 701, but I figure if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing... haha If I got paid overtime I would agree... but unfortunately I do not... hah if I did I would likely have much bigger engine As for the porting, I agree and have already...

Bigger gains can be had with exhaust tuning, I cannot argue that, and I plan on doing my best with that aspect of tuning as well. But I think gains can be had with a more dense charge in the crank case... perhaps small gains, but every bit helps. As for cost and time, I think this would be a...

Primarily for a colder air/fuel charge in the crank case for performance reasons, but also for curiosity's sake.

I will soon be assembling my 61x/61x 701 (718 now) and I am contemplating cooling the cases. I have done a bit of searching around and I cannot find too much info on cooling the cases of 61x/61x or 61x/62T. I am thinking it could be done a few different ways... but I would like to get some...

After a crazy amount of time taping up all the important surfaces, I bead blasted most of my engine components and cleaned up surface defects with a grinder The Nynja head pipe I picked up at Sortie cleaned up pretty well, Cases were for sure the worst thing to blast... the stock paint was...

Ok so I found some more pictures of the tear down. My pistons were real clean, thinking I was running rich.. or maybe a bit too much water ingestion? I finally got to see the insane port mismatch of the 701 I also noticed that the sacrificial anode was not in place, and half of it was...

So now that the engine was out, I pulled it apart to see what is inside, I remember taking waaayy more pictures of the tear down & everything for that matter... but apparently not You can see the home made flywheel puller that @Parsonsjb88 made late at night in a hurry on the right and you can...

Hey there! I'm Jeff and I (like I assume most of you) have been sucked into the awesome world of spending too much time & money on your Superjet (or other standup) I will start with some story leading up to this time and money vampire I call my SN build... also sorry if my tenses get all messed...

You could also look into hydrophobic or hydrophilic coatings, There seems to be a lot of debate over anything flow related, but I have read seemingly valid arguments for both hydrophobic coatings and hydrophilic coatings. I personally would lean towards hydrophilic for this case. Take a look...

Haha, ya... this winter flew by... I hope at least one of us get in the water before the end of May

So I'm in the process of powder coating my 701 soon to be 718 (cases,cylinders, intake & ex mani's, head pipe, pipe, etc...) and I cant visualize how i want this thing to look. Post some pics of your painted engines. I have attached some pics of my bead blasted engine (blank canvas) help...

Ya I can see some insulation problems coming up, but I think with some major gains could be seen if you get enough spark energy. Multiple sparks can do the job, but the only reason you use multiple sparks, is because of the small spark duration of CDI's. In the end more energy into sparked into...
