Bigger hole = more hole shot, smaller hole = more top end.
Correct?
Mine works fine stock. not messing w/it.

what ski are you on?
I've got a question it kinda relates to this thread. I just cleaned my raves, I used Jake's method using easy off oven cleaner. Worked great, Ma always did say you were the smart one.
Anyway I currently have the raves with the adjuster turned about one turn in past flush and they are opening about 4500 rpm, I would like them to open about 5200 rpm, so I need to back them off, counter clockwise back to flush or so and the water regulator should be set about the same. Is this correct?
Also Jake spins 180's and 360's are possible on the GSX but they're a lot easier with a X4 hull, and not bad on my 96GTI which has an elongated X4 hull. I was out doing them today on the 96GTI. The GSX tend to dig in while the X4 skips across the water.

My Big Genesis has the 1200cc 3cyl Polaris Domestic engine in it. And it's a hoot to ride. Yes, it's big and stable... but it's still 300 Lbs lighter than a new ski.
Anyway... I'll have to go back and check my impeller... but I bored the pump 2mm. So....... I think the impeller was a 17-24 Swirl that I put in. (I will double check)
WELLLLLLL...........................................
If you want better low end... tighten the RAVE's, and the water regulator. Also... you may want to put in a larger water jet in the pipe. A wet pipe will smooth out the transition. Basically... keep the pipe wet, until the raves open.
Because the way the system works... and because of the nature of our engine (RPM's can hit quick) it's hard to get it perfectly smooth.
On my personal XP... it's a hard hit at about 5500 rpm. I have the RAVE's and water switch at about the same time. My cross-over is like hitting a light switch. But... with that said... I have GREAT low RPM torque. But I run a high pitch swirl impeller, and bored my pump. (so my thrust is in a different range)
On a PWC all adjustments effect everything else. I set up my ski's to rip my arms off, and go fast on rough water. But... I'm sure on flat smooth water... my XP is only running around 52~53 MPH.
For what reason are you boring the pump?
You can also use the reverse gate as one hell of a brake
what ski are you on?
the basic principal is the same, get the jet to slide, usually losing grip on the water.
get up to speed then turn + punch it, then get off the throttle when it looses grip.
does this link work?
