62T swap from a raider to blaster1

[GSXRchris85]

I finally got my hands on a 62t with the dual carb setup!!!!:Banane09:

so i took the engine out of the raider and went to line it up on my blaster and it seems the pipe is in the way, and i also read from another post about someone sticking with 61x bedplates. i still have the ones for the 62t case that came with the raider.
I also heard of somebody using the raider waterbox in a blaster. if anyone can give me some tips to point me in the right direction id be very thankful.

i took the pipe off and the engine lines up. , so i cant use a raider pipe?

 

[BruceSki]

you can use it, but you will have to notch the hull and do some glasswork to make it fit.

 

[GSXRchris85]

know where some pics of one would be?

Those Raider pipes are massive.

 

[GSXRchris85]

si,

but they do look good, and if i can use it with some slight mod to the hull........ill prolly go for it.

 

[BruceSki]

one of the guys in our ride group built on like that last year... he still hasn't ridden it yet though.

ill see if he has some pics to post up.

the nice thing is that motor is rated at a higher HP than the 62T/61X 701.

 

[GSXRchris85]

yea i heard like 83hp?


anyways i got everything to do it, so i might as well, i dont mind a lil hull mod for a lil room, it only needs a lil room.

 

[GSXRchris85]

:biggrin:got the engine to fit with the raider pipe. a lil grinder action to make room.
just gotta rig the waterbox situation up and mount the electronics. heres some pics

Fon't forget the engine moves around a bit when it's running.

 

[GSXRchris85]

yea, these pics were of the first mock up. i have more gap around the exhaust pipe, and notched a spot where the pipe comes close to the edge of the hatch

 

[BruceSki]

a raider waterbox in the rear of the ski works well...

i have a TDR squarenose box in the rear of mine.

 

[GSXRchris85]

my bro and i got everything all together. the only clearence issue was with the electro box. didnt fit in stock location cause the pipe. but we moved it over to the right near the carbs. could have probably rigged it better but also came to a problem with the battery cables being to short.
We used a westcoast resonator from a kawi650sx to the stock exhaust exit. i have a stock raider waterbox but its huge and looks way diff from the one u got. i went to stick the raider box in the rear and i would have had to cut alot of foam out.
Its all together and we cant wait to splash it tommarow and see what happens. Were expecting alot considering our blaster came with a single carb 6R7 engine.......

if i could post pic i would. i did the raider piped blaster last year. matt blacked the ski and never rode it yet. lol raider water box in the rear . rear exhaust. tbm pump cone. mines is the same as yours (the cut in the side) there some room around the pipe. i turfed the inside of the hull . should work well with the stock pipe. i was just tired of a.m. pipes falling off all the time. (most of the time when the waves are the best all year ahahaahhh)

 

[GSXRchris85]

id like to see more pics of raider boxed blasters, we ran the engine on a pallet all hooked up and on the water with the stock raider box..
its LOUD with the westcoast resonator only. ill prolly address that issue tommarow or next week


oh yea how did you all go about routing the pipe thru the bulkhead. i got my blaster with the bulkhead all hacked up as you can see in my pics. i cleaned up the edges with a grinder

 

[GSXRchris85]

holy crap!!! just got back from first test run!!!!!!

This engine makes sooooo much power, the ski jumps so much easier out of the water, and goes so fast!!!!!!HUGE DIFFENERENCE over the lil 6r7 that used to reside in my blaster. and my bro and i are prolly just gonna leave the pipe sticking out the side. it looks awesome and kind of reminds me of a sportbike. and it sounds awesome with the westcoast resonator!!!

 

[GSXRchris85]

......

 

[BruceSki]

i would recommend making that hole a bit bigger for the pipe and glassing over it with a bubbled space for the pipe. thats a big hole in the ski for water to come in.

 

[GSXRchris85]

ur prolly right i just wanna ride it a couple of more times!!

 

[ryan]

i just cut a hole so the pipe would fit. mounted the ele box sideways.
