Alright, I need some advice on some mods.
Here's some background about me and my ski:
My ski is a 95 sn superjet with a 61x 701 in it. Right now, here's the only performance mods : factory b pipe limited chamber, 9/15 hooker prop, worx 201,d cut flush ride plate, adjustable rev limiter.
I am completely concerned about reliability, but I am of course looking for more power. Im completely rebuilding my engine from the crank up right now, and I need a reliable motor that hopefully can last 4 years(get me through college) and I'd say I'll put over 60 hours. Possibly close to 100. Every Sunday during the summer I ride close to 2 tanks, so like 4 hours, plus other times during the week and early on in the season too. I also should mention that I do some free riding chasing boat wakes and doing stabs, etc. Going to be working on rolls this season for sure, but there are times when there's nobody around that I do some freestyle off of my own wake.
So here's the mods I'm considering. I should also mention I'm on a a tight budget. I honestly would say I'd spend 300$ on performance mods, but if there's something I have to do that's a little more, I might.
So the first thing I'm starting to consider is porting. I'd only do cylinder porting with seems to run around 300$, and I'd either choose jetmaniac/blue, or I might consider php since they're sort of local to me. I'm worried about it becoming a tuning nightmare tho. How does porting affect reliability?
I plan on keeping stock compression with my stock head, just because I like the piece of mind going WOT occasionally. I'd never go up to 185 psi. Maybe somebody could pitch in on how much comp from 170-185 affects reliability.
Msd enhancer: seems like the price is around 250$ shipped nowadays. Sounds like the slight timing advance is nice, but some of you say to have no rev limit/adjustable and advance the static timing. I refuse to advance the static timing, and I'll set my rev limit at 8000 or 7750(my protec is set at that). I don't crank it all the way up because there's times going WOT in chop that it'll unhook.
So is the 250$ worth it for a mod that's pretty healthy on reliability? Or should I stick w/ my protec and spend money elsewhere. I'd possibly consider an epic if you can get the old ones new, because I can't afford the new one+ all the software, cords, switches, etc. That runs close to 500$.
Got my tray apart right now, so now would be the time to add a cooling line if I choose to. I ride from 50 degree water to 80 degree water, and I assume if I ran dual in less than 50 I'd have to run restrictors?
Thanks ahead of time for all advice!
