Well i have started my own Waverunner project

Here are some details, put running out of time to type.

98 Yamaha XL1200W Waverunner
S4 13B
Custom Exhuast
Weber Intake
Custom Pulley transfer case

Here is some info i posted inanother Thread about a automatic Balancer

There are normaly 1 water cooling line on a waverunner to do all the cooling, but i taped another line off the Jet drive to supply water for the motor. So one is going to cool the Oil/Water intercooler(IE 84-85 Frist Gen) and the other is there to cool the motor.

The temp really wont be that big of a problem, The water flow is not as high as you are thinking, 1in line is what is cooling the motor. This has show to keep the motor in the 150F Range. Witch i think is acceptable to run in.

The coupling on the motor to the jet drive is the biggest problem with this hole dam thing, Finding bearing rated around 9000(Over driving the Impeller) and Power Band belts that will also work on 4in pulleys.

If i had a dam Camera if would take some picks.

Here are some pics of another guy that has started one of these projects in a sea-doo

Where did you get the throttle bodies from?

 

Thows are not my Pictures, This is another guy that is doing this project also, But i Think he had them made.

 

talk about custom everythang, wow. so how far along are you? my neighbor and I were talking about the same thing the other day, his motor mounts broke and his motor flopped around in ther. we were hitting 12ft rollers in the columbia when it broke, lol.


GET SOME PIC SOON

 

how are you going to run an oil cooler?

 

Man thats looks sweet!

 

Pretty cool.

 

I am going to use a 1st gen, Stock Water/Oil Cooler, But i no from taking to this guy that he is using a Marine Water to Oil intercooler.

 

Was going to add that, I am trying to use as much stock stuff off of Rx-7s as i can.

I am using these parts from Rx-7's

84 Oil Cooler
93 Auto Flywheel
84-85 13B Counterweight
52mm Weber Carbs
1st gen Ignition, NON-Split spark
3rd Gen Coils, Very small and good fit


These are my Custom Built Parts

Motor mount/5Qt Oil Pan
Power Train
Intake, less Carb
Water Cooled Exhuast, Not using Atkins


I will think of more later i guess

 

Pretty badass, imagine all the fish that would be killed.

 

Motor in, Dam that is a Tight Fit............. Enuff Said

 

um, i wouldn't use the 84/85 rear counter-weight on the S4 13B...

 

Well i am using a GSL-Se motor so this is the correct counterweight, It is a S3 13B

 

oh sorry,

I thought you said in the first post that you were using an S4 engine.

 

Was going to, But had a problem with the motor when i was taring it apart. One of the Exhuast Diffusers fell out when i removed the exhuast manifold

So i switched engines, good thing all 13b's are the same size.

 

Here are some pics, The motor is set and now i am getting the drive train together.

 

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rx7_Nut13B,

Wanna build me one? Please PM so that we can chat ...

 

So far it has been long hard nights, Hopefully i will have it in the water in a few weeks

 

Great post lots of pics and good luck!

 

12in Motor + 11in Opening = Head Ach

 

Well i have got some stuff done over the last few weeks, Here are some pics

Also a pic of my little helper

 

Its a triangle. its a sign from the triangle gods that this project is ment to be.


Good luck this is badass. Keep it up!
