Pump installation rxpx 260

[07BRPRXP]

Ok, so I torqued my prop perfectly but I totally forgot to torque pump bolts :/ I did tighten them in a X way but did not torque. Worried if I'll have a problem I did use locktite though.. Any suggestions ? I really would hate to remove Ibr system again

Depends on what you say tighten is. As the old saying goes... When in doubt.

wont be a accurate, but better than nothing

i honestly never torque my pump bolts, i snug them all up until tight in an x pattern as well, not he-man tight, but wrist tight. I also do not use lock tite on them. I also have my pump out very frequently.

I did tighten them wrist tight very very careful to tighten all bolts evenly so I think it will be ok regardless it's the first run this weekend from stock to beast mode with the et70-145 so I'm going to run it and see what rpm it spins with the 15/20r I have I put r&d seal with stainless wear ring so let's see I might add a lucky 13 and for sure a riva nozzle next week...

if you have a stock nozzle on that thing be prepared to blow it apart.

[07BRPRXP]

How quick do you think it will blow? And why?

[07BRPRXP]

I have 2 prv installed also

you have a new rxpx correct? im judging by your picture you do. The stock nozzle castings are very weak some get away with it some dont. I blew 3 stock ones apart within 5 hours once i put a 137+4 and 68-140 on. with the x charger i never had a single issue but once you put some power to it you are at risk of blowing them. nothing really happens other than your motor will zing to the moon and its like letting off the gas real hard at speed. i finally just put my riva 84mm nozzle on my stock pump and havt had an issue all the way to 20 psi so far. when they blow they basically blow and break the top 2 ears on the nozzle and the thrust bends the nozzle down so when they break you will not be able to really get up on plane. Fortunately mine have all blown near the ramp lol
