Just did 87 at 9200rpm over the weekend. 90+ heat mid day high humidity.

Little update...Still trying to squeeze every ounce out of the stock wheel before I go to a lot more boost...I’ll say the 92 degree heat with 90% humidity kills speed to the point where I was...

Very cool!

Like many are saying the grate can slow you down a bit...Put the stock one back on..

I would inspect the prop and pump tunnel to see if anything looks weird and also check the rubber sleeve inside the hull around the impeller shaft and make sure the metal hose clamps around it are...

So you’re saying your FX Cruiser does/did 95mph on the ET 20 wheel? Please share details here that’s pretty impressive...What cams? What rpm did you hit 95mph? Etc??.

Depending on how you ride you maybe should think about just getting a larger SC wheel. Turbo ski is going to be very slow and lag all the way to mid range rpm before it wakes up if you don’t have it...

Wedge helps a lot...Makes the front “lighter” and really plants the rear of that big ol FX whale.

Yea that cone theory makes sense and pitching to bring rpm back up. Similar to the smaller nozzle increasing the velocity of water coming out the pump I guess. Still surprised you lost speed as...

Did you make sure trim was in the same setting? Pretty odd to have rpm rise and speed drop for sure. You’re not just looking at the max rpm that displays after a pull right?

DONT LOOK AT THE MAX RPM READING THAT DISPLAYS AFTER PULLS. You need to be looking at what the max rpm is reading WHILE you’re holding it WOT. I never found the max to be accurate on any of my TTO...

There are some incredible turbo builders here in FL. Probably some of the best. Why would you even compare a fun, budget EBay build to a real custom fab’d up hardcore kit. Those pics were clearly...

Would be a smart trade, better cruise mpg and faster when you squeeze the throttle. :)

Yea to lean out idle and very low rpm is what I meant to say...You shouldn’t need whole new tune once you get it all dialed in you make small adjustments seasonally on the regulator.

Can revise your current static tune to lean out a bit....

It all depends on your specific tuning on your ski. Dean sets his tune up for static pressure 54psi...I don’t know why or how he does it but it works very well. He also has tunes setup for rising...

Should be fun times with double my current boost level :)

Straight pipe is deafening there’s no way any waterbox where water is muffling the sound is going to be anywhere near as loud as a straight pipe lol

Great morning out on the Hillsborough River...My buddys ET19 Built motor FZR pulled about 1-2 skis on me though and then I’d keep it about even with him from a 30 roll...I think it’s time for the...

Don’t know about your tune limiter, boost or your setup details but what I do know is that I can put a 20,000 rpm limit tune on my ski and it will still turn my current rpm on my current setup. Also...

Riva waterbox with rear exit riva exhaust sounds awesome. Water box delete is way too loud and not enjoyable to 99% of people lol

Very nice review! Congrats on the new ride and post up some pics! Love to see it.

You’re throwing a hell of a lot of shade at one of the best Yamaha tuners in the world. I’m going to invite him in here to respond to your BS.

In my experience if you’re running under 8500ish rpm you’re not in peak power on stock wheel or any wheel for that matter and a steeper pitch will slow you down while decreasing your rpm for sure. I...

From what I’ve read I think people get up to 77-80mph on stock and then switch because you’re just spinning silly rpm with unnecessary wear on the motor and cavitating like crazy if you doing that...
