Custom/Hybrid Steve-uk 2 Day REV build

[steve-uk]

so after picking up my REV hull from surfersmurfs place in cleveland it was quick (6 hour) drive back... little bit of shut eye and over to Junkyardj's to get started

First emptied out all the crap smuggled across the border :27:

then started fitting all the brackets

next started stripping out the superjet guts

and the pump

motor on the bench prep'd for a junkyardj crank seal replacement

 

[steve-uk]

crank exposed

guess what... these seals REALLY needed replacng ... thanks Junkyard you da man :kiss:

whilst out fitted a umi coupler

next came the pump, 148mm Mag pump

 

[steve-uk]

next came the :bling:RRP Pole

x2 guy came along to help

motor and pipe in

tank in

 

[steve-uk]

end of day two...... done!

 

[steve-uk]

next steps.....

simple things left to do.. re-turf and add side rail extensions, the REV side rails are too small to stand on for hood tricks... hood seal needs replacing, water ingress withe the beat up on i have is insane

Then add the thrust innovations trim system won at wave daze

probably going to go with a worx freestyle dominator ride plate and pump stuffer, rides very nose up.. jumps very nose up (destroyed my carbon ride plate in VB)

Possibly changing the motor.... watch this space

 

[BruceSki]

shortening the steering or pole would probably help the nose up...


that stock steering is long.


ski looks real good otherwise.

how does that mag pump work out with a mild 701 motor? and what prop are you running

 

[steve-uk]

i have already shortened the pole by three inches since then.. doesnt ride so bad now in regards to the nose... but when you jump it wants to go vertical...

pump runs great,, had many people saying it was too big, my motor is pretty much stock with the normal bolt ons, head, b-pipe, enhancer, V force two reed, still running stock 38s

im running 8-15.5 prop

 

[BruceSki]

wow that is a low pitch prop for sure. sounds like a cool setup though. bet that mag hooks up nice.

 

[steve-uk]

yeah when i got the pump i got three props and that was the lowest pitch... hooks up beautifully, the combination withe th more bouyant back end of the REV hull means it pulls out of the water excellently too

i think adding the worx pump stuffer will make it better still

 

[BruceSki]

I am running a worx 205 intake grate with stuffer attached and didn't notice much when i put it on. i also fixed a crappy pump shoe intstall i did at the same time though so i felt like i lost hookup if any, but I didn't have the brakes effect when letting off the throttle since the pump shoe wasn't hanging down anymore.

 

[steve-uk]

thats concerning considering its supposed to be the best intake out there, i like the look of snowxr's grate too

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Am i the one who sold u that pump and the three props..?

 

[steve-uk]

no .. you had already sold yours

 

[MADMAT]

Man I really wanted to ride that along with some other skis....I was just having to much fun on mine!

 

[steve-uk]

next year Mat, we need to get some of you guys to travel north

 

[BruceSki]

I had a very very agressive blaster R&D intake grate on the ski before i switched to the 205.

im much happier now that i don't have the brakes effect, but i feel like i lost just a bit of hookup.

 

[junkyardj]

hmmm what's she getting for a motor? could we get a deal if we get 2? give us a hint

ss?

i dont think they do deals.... and you got your stroker..

 

[Polish jet pilot]

What can you say about current power of the ski? Wouldn't porting it be a wise decison? You pretty much have all the bolt ons...

What is the weight of your ski? (rEV)

thats concerning considering its supposed to be the best intake out there, i like the look of snowxr's grate too

Thanks! More and more people are using them with great results. I think it's time for a Christmas sale.
