[trapperjack1]

I want to thank every one that has helped me through this learning curve.
my 04 rxp,
wedge
4''
riva grate
42s
S-3
ic
14-19 new wear ring
made my own pro opas
filled holes
8150 instantly no matter what RPMs or what speed, no cav just go,
not a drop more speed then from stock 69.2,
what prop do i go with now,
not worried about losing bottom end I have a ton of that and should i stay off the rev limiter?
with this combo and the right prop I should be in the upper 70s

15/20R

I wouldn't start with a taller prop...will prolly have to tweek it.

Curious...what IC you went with?

ha Red2blue, the ic came out of a stage 3 i belive a hulk set up,
the thing is big it sets were that plastic ehaust chamber went
it fit so tight it will not move but im going to use that fome in a can
that you use for windows just to make sure, forgot to put in
i made my own pro block offs and filled the holes,
I was told from Rob at ppg the (R) after the prop number
is just to make sure it is what its sapose to be (scam)
go to solas web site they are sapose to have un real quality controle
you mean they box them in the wrong box?
I dont no why its not CNC-ed in the prop in the first place.

how far off am i from a RXT-260 they call for a 15-21
or 16-21 very confused

WHOOA!

Did the external intercooler come with a mounting bracket? If it didn't I wouldn't trust expandible foam. I'd be looking for a bracket.

Don't sweat the R designator...ain't costing any more money. not a scam. still need to check the blades though to make sure they all read the same.

rxt is a different hull. That one's got more power than you but a bigger hull so...can't look at that for a rule to measure against.

Check out the mods data base thread. It will help you in any direction you wanna go with few back ups. One last piece you are gonna wanna have...as I mentioned before.

A Riva reduction nozzle and 80mm,81mm,82mm rings. This will greatly help you squeeze out everything you can and at the same time eaze every day changes due to weather/atmospheric changes.

Red2blue with every thing i have am i equal to a rxp 255---260 HP

 

[red2blue]

No...you have a smaller wheel...not by much...but an S3 is smaller than an Xwheel. You also have a smaller pump tunnel. Nothing you can do about that short of getting a new boat.

Now don't get discouraged. Most x boats that you see running around are bone stock...yeah...they may get you off the line...but you'll catch'm quick then blow them outa the water...till you hit the rough stuff....then he'll close the distance almost as fast as he lost it.

 

[trapperjack1]

they make that wheel with the spacer for the 127s 215hp
it says 11 pounds at 8100 over on green hulk
$350.00 --worth it???

 

[red2blue]

$350 for an Xwheel?....sure.

But why?

You gotta understand the limits of your boat. You can get that thing to 80+mph...reletively cheap as these things go...but you still won't be able to take advantage of all the extra power unless you're in calmer water. The reason BRP changed the tunnel design on the p-x's was because the previous years' were too small to sufficiently load the prop in rougher water....no matter how powerful the motor was.

If the prop ain't getting water...it don't matter how fast the prop is spinning.

What I'm trying to say.

Run your ski...learn it...tweak the hell out of it, see what it'll do in that set-up.

thanks Red2blue most of the water i ride is com
i ride the bays and finger lakes plenty of com water
the spacer i was talking about is a drop in for the 127--stock 215
wheel and spacer 350.00 gives 11 psi i think the X wheel is 10
im looking for upper 70s
