My X2 Build

[WDKfan]

I got it over the summer for a winter project and am just getting started, I am going to foam the inside of the hull, 750 possibly 900 conversion, custom paint(of course) one way valve, trim mods(including quick trim) mabey tubbies, custom billit steering, and more.:woot: :sneaky:

Foam

I foamed it tonight:arms: :woot:

 

[jetx]

what exactly are you tryign to accomplish by foaming the inside of the hull???

Sorry but I have never seen that done before and am curious to know.

Good luck on the build!

the water that gathers in between the braces annoys me and i figure that any extra floatation is good thing, it will be glassed over top of when im done:biggthumpup:

I was thinking the same thing.:haha: :sneaky:

 

[Kwit]

.. thats different:biggthumpup:

 

[EvanB85]

custom billit steering

that will probably be pretty reasonably priced.

Good luck on the build

I'm making it in school for a class project:Banane01: :woot:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Is thinking it not gonna be nice when all that foam gets waterlogged

 

[WDKfan]

I am working on the one way valve right now i am wondering weather or not to just flaten out the ends of the footwells so they arent sloped on the end. i am not sure what to use to fill it with yet, any suggestions or ideas welcome:shrug: :hail:

 

[WDKfan]

got the one way done last night and have been smothing out the foam:sneaky:

 

[WAB]

The SJ hull I bought had foam put in it, shaped and carbon fiber laid over it. Pretty slick looking. Easy to clean!


On my x2, I taped off the rear 'slants' and foamed them. Then I shaped it and put several layers of cloth & matting over it for strength. I made it angle up at the back, but you could make it straight also.

one-way valve

Install done, all that is needs to be done is cosmetic work (bondo and glass:banghead: ) and finish the inside. I may have located a donor ski for engine and electrics but it is not for sure yet :banghead:. i still havent decided on how to mod the hood but was thinking of making one out of carbon kevlar if I can find the material and get the cash, any ideas/ suggestions?

 

[WDKfan]

Gettin' There

I finished glassing around the one-way drain, and have started to work on the hood and nose (shaving and smoothing):Banane01:

I have also started to tear into the original motor which I am planing to rebuild and put in the 650SX:woot: so i have a fresh motor this season:Banane01:

How do I know weather I need to bore the cyl or just hone them(they arent scored)

 

[FL-cracker]

To do it accurately you will need a "T Guage" . I would check it in three different spots from top to bottom, and turn the T guage 90 degree at each spot. Make sure the T guage is as level as possible. This will asure a round cylinder. If piston clearence is acceptable you can run it at the bore size it is. I would buy a set of brand new pistons wether you run the bore how it is, or if you have the cylinder bored!

Note: I am not a engine builder...... just trying to help.

Nice work so far!

 

[WDKfan]

The cylinders are going to be sent off for boring and honing on monday:woot: they're going to be sent off to a shop my freind gets all his motors resleved and bored at:woot: :Banane01:

 

[Snackem]

Have you decided what motor is going in that thing yet?

 

[WDKfan]

I'm trying to get my freind to sell me his 93 750SSXI so I will have the twin carb 750 small pin:woot: Then I may bore it out but I am going to get a girdled head from Atlantic Jetsports (has anyone ever heard any thing about the head they make, it has removable domes and is much less than the others.) I also want to find someone who can port it for freestyle and wont charge me a fortune. :bigeyes:

 

[WDKfan]

:banghead: I am almost finished with the body work on the hood and the front end:woot: :arms: :Banane01:
Next will be to finish the work on the inside of the hull:banghead:

Why didn't you get rid of the hump in the middle of the hood? I've been toying with shaving that off of my hood.
