supercharger

Hello, I hope everybody is doing well. I am located in Toronto Canada, and our cottage lake is showing signs of the ice going out (although still completely covered on the 14th of April). I will soon be getting my machine ready and I have a couple questions. 1) How can I check to see if the...

I was hoping someone with some experience could give me their opinion on a decision I'm making. I have been looking to buy a newer, faster ski (currently have a 2001 GTI) and have been looking at the RXT and RXP. Because money is a factor, I've been looking at older models. Since I heard the RXT...

Hey all, I am in the market for a couple parts for my 2003 GTX S/C and I am wondering where the best place is to purchase. I live in Canada and have been speaking with a couple BRP dealers however they seem very expensive or are unable to find the parts. Here's what I am looking for: >Riva...

Hey Everyone! My name is Brad, and I have been around jet ski's and such since the early 90's. I still have my first ski, it is a 1982 JS 440 standup. I just came across a great deal on a used 2007 Sea Doo RXP. So I am very new to this whole 4 stroke thing. I have heard about the need to...

Hi there, This may be a really silly question, and probably is, but is there a simple way to remove the supercharger from a supercharged model? Is the intake system mechanically a lot different? Or is the charger just tacked on to increase pressure? The reason I ask is I'm keen on a GTXiS...

Moved this post to the boat section

Hey everyone, I'm going tomorrow to check out a 2010 GTX IS Limited with about 80 hours on it. With trailer I'm getting it for $8500. The only thing that has me concerned is the amount of hours. It hasn't had a SC rebuild yet, so I'm curious, does that need to be done at exactly 100...

I just purchased this ski took it out and have this problem jumps up fine then starts to rev out at around 5k rpm. You can hear the rpm go up and down. I was wondering if there are fuel filters that clog? I have sent the SC out for a rebuild i was expecting bad washers but they look good Gold in...

Wondering how hard it would be to rebuild my own supercharger for my 2005 RXT. How else could I really know the condition of the parts inside and if anything parts deteriorated to the point I have debris inside my engine? If I send it off how could I know it's done correctly and not just cleaned...

I just got a 2005 RXT with around 85 hours. I did a test ride before I bought it and was able to get it up to around 50-55 mph riding by myself. I thought it probably just needed a tune up because it had been sitting up for a little while according to the previous owner. A few days later I took...

After doing some heavy research (Thanks mostly to this forum) I found the boat for my Lady and I. We had to drive 5 hrs but I got a killer deal. It's an 05 Challenger 180 with the 215 Rotax. She has 39 hrs on her(verified at the dealership), the owner advertised the boat as having 70 hrs! I...

I bought my 08 215 supercharged rxp in January this yr with 43hrs. It was a repo unit. At 56hrs I noticed a loss of power at top end. That was the only issue. The next day when I started it, I noticed the supercharger sounded more high pitched. I took off, then backed off the throttle, got back...

I currently have 2003 4 TEC sportster, no supercharge. Anyone ever install a factory SC after? Just wondering if it's even possible. I do some general maintenance on the boat myself, but bigger maintenance items I have the dealer do. Think this would fall under that. Wondering if they would...

With the supercharger off the engine, does anybody know if there is a way to see if the oil seal leaks? S/C was brand new and only run less than an hour and local shop said oil seal was bad. There's no visible damage, it spins freely, etc. Thanks, Ron

Hi guys, Thanks for reading. I have read just about every thread on here so thanks to everyone. I am just about to commit to my first boat. It's a 2006 Speedster 200 430hp It's done 88hrs so I know I have to rebuild the sc's, it still has the original ceramic washers in! That's 88 hrs...

I have a 07 GTX ltd. I noticed the ski would only rev to 6400 rpm at about 55 mph or so. It is mostly ridden by my mother. saying this she rides very slow about 40 at the most. Im not sure how long it has been missing the washer. It has 58 hrs on it. I purchased it 3 months ago with 45 hrs on...

I have recently purchased a used 03 seadoo GTX supercharged (185hp 4-tec) with 132 hrs on it. Time for a complete supercharger rebuild, glad I knew this going into the deal. I'm debating between 3 options for the rebuild: (A) Take it to the local dealer = $650 using the new kit allowing 200 hrs...

Hi Gents New to the forum but I work on board a luxury superyacht with 6 jetskis so looking forward to making a contribution on the forum. My first post is to ask which part of the engine and drive train of a GTX Limited 215 I should be looking at, as the major culprit in a recent...

Thoughts anyone? Only 9 hours old, jet is in perfect condition. It used to pull 8000 RPM out of the hole and hold it. At its worst on the water would rev 7600 for about 3 seconds, then drop to 6200 RPM thereafter. It appeared as if supercharger was shut-off or it was loading up on fuel...

My 07 Speedster 150 needs to have the grate replaced. From what I have read, the front bolt it really the hardest one to get to. Is there a way to get to that bolt without having to lift the engine? I have a new OEM grate ready to install. I think I remember reading to use the blue loctite, not...
