300/440/550 Water injection

Anybody ever tried water injection on a 90 550. I was just wondering if so, what kind of pipe and did you just use the MSD water injection box?
-Thanks

Ok maybe this was a dumb ?, i just heard water injection would give you some more low end power. DOes any body think it will work or do anything?

No clue i read that on jet work's website about their kit and was curious myself but then i disregarded it because i cant afford it anyways

well i am not really ready to drop like 800 bucks i think it was but i just wondered if it would make a difference?

 

[Mark Gomez]

Woah hell yeah idk where you were looking the jet works one was 280 when i looked holy crap haha yeah im with you on that one

 

[90550sx]

Yea, im stupid, i dont know what the hell i was lookin at, i must of been thinkin something else, you can get the msd one from blowsion for 199 for the controller and the the solenoid is another 100. Yea, i dont know where that off the wall price.

O and then the nozzle is like 40 so it would be like 400 dollars

 

[Mark Gomez]

yeah i dont think all that would be worth it on a 550 or even really compatible i dont know much about it so i cant say much but the price all together is enough for me to forget about it lol
good luck

Yea, thats my thing to, i just got mine last summer so im not real sure either. IVe put alot of money in to mine as it is.

 

[Mark Gomez]

yeah same here i just finaly found my ocean pro extended vein nozzle somewhat last thing on my list for performance bolt-on's is a RAD flywheel but i cant afford one new at $525 and their extremely rare on Ebay that and they go waaaay up because everyone and their mom wants one.

 

[90550sx]

Well im havin mine rebuilt right now, got a new pipe and water box, im thinkin of going with the pjs 440 after burner pump.

 

[Mark Gomez]

oh yeah? your talking about the one on ebay right? well go for it idk the specs but i work at pacific jet sports and my boss bought most of PJS's inventory when they went out of business ive never seen one though as hard as ive looked around the shop. if you want a sick ported cylinder with milled head and mod carb then let me know the cylinder is a couple times over boar but i cant remember off the top of my head what the number was.

 

[90550sx]

I dont know if this is exactly like the rad fly wheel but check it out, starting bid is $199.

And yea the pump is on ebay, i alwasy heard a 440 pump is better than the 550 pump. I got one i havent put in cuz its in a complete 440 thats runnin and i hate to scrap the rest for a pump since it still runs strong.

 

[Mark Gomez]

yeah you can allways clean it up and sell it newer than using it till it breaks or looses more value

 

[90550sx]

Thats right, is that kinda like the fly wheel your looking for?

 

[Mark Gomez]

Yep except its either within 3 to $400 used on ebay or new from RAD for $525 =/ thats alot of coin, most expensive bolt on by far

 

[90550sx]

How much performance can you get out of it?

 

[Mark Gomez]

Not sure ive heard it does great on acceleration my buddy whos ski is bored, ported, hi comp head, the flywheel dual 42's, pipe, waterbox ,prop all the imaginable wingdings possible to a 550 he did it flew like a bat out of hell but his coupler cover was missing and no bilges so the carbs got too wet and gunky from the moisture and the bottom end was crap to nothing so top end its seems really good but the most important part i wasnt able to tell. i couldnt imagine a product being 525 wouldnt work to what they say it would.

 

[90550sx]

Yea, i was just wondering, i like alot of bottom end. I dont know why i gotta full pipe?? But i been thinking about going dual 38's,thats about my last think asside from something stupid i been thinking about doing. I got a 550 hull i been thinkin about lowering, i want to cut about two inches or so out of the top to lower the handle pole and hood. I think it would make a barrel role easier or ever possible.
