Hi Guys ,
So , After my RXPX 300 tried to be a submarine instead of a PWC and died badly , I'm now rebuilding it with forged CP pistons , head works inc new valves, springs, titanium retainer etc. all from Riva.
My Question , I'm planning on also upgrading to the Riva supercharger wheel @ 17psi and tune as I'm told by dealer my ski has +300h on it from previous owners. Does anyone know if the stock connecting rods can withstand the upgrade to reuse them with new bearings or will forged Rods from like Carrillo be required. I cannot find details anywhere on stock units strength or failure levels . Don't really wanna get the corrilo con rods as so dam expensive unless they are really worthwhile in this build but also don't want to put extra power and bend the stock units if they're not up to the task as.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
