v8 POWER what could possibly go wrong?

[@robertrondeauu2481]

Read the other post. The jet pump needs to be upgraded. Its breaking down under the pressure of the engine. Titanium housing is what u need. In a drag car u dont use a stock drive shaft for that reason. It will break right off on the whole shot. Pay attention. Im trying to help u. Im 62 and built a lot of crazy stuff before the internet. Man you are me when i was your age. Go fast turn left. Love this post

Breaking down from hydraulic pressure . Cant compress water

[@tonypedigo4969]

Such good work guys, I love it! Back in the mid 90s I was fortunate to own a Kawasaki ultra 150. With just little stock additions we were able to achieve GPS speeds of 83 miles an hour top speed with no mechanical issues ever, and it got there in about five seconds. To see what you guys are doing is amazing please keep it up men! This is the ultimate physical workout while having the ultimate fun. If you need someone to bring it up past 130 for you I will humbly except, hit me up, I'll be a guinea pig because something tells me it could do it and more. Also, heads up after you have perfected the mechanical/ engineering system which you guys are doing, the ultimate dynamic causing issues will be an age old problem from big boats/ship yards. Arrangements are when they cross the ocean and encounter pounding waves. It's the pounding, whether it's from big forces or quantum forces it's the pounding that fucks up everything from electrical to mechanical even to chemical there has to be a solution to minimize the pounding of the wake respones of the hull. Increased reverberations throughout the entire body. Thats not healthy for computing or mechanical issues. There are solutions and you can see it in the development with Automobiles, it's called a suspension... Remember, under advanced hull designs they can be suspended as well and the ski can minimize porpoising. This can lead to better balance and Ultimate cruising speed in unfavorable waters. Feel free to contact me I have a patent with the US government for deflection that could benefit jetski efforts as well, I only want to help. This tech can work on/under the water too.

I was waiting because I didn't want to release any footage I had an spoil it, haha.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yeah I finally got a little time to put the video together, clearly it’s spanning multiple days of filming. Also I haven’t had the ski back out yet because the easy fix turned into a whole thing.

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

@@JetSkiBrothers Hmmmm ... "turned into a whole thing" ... As projects often do. Now I'm wondering if that means more damage, or preventative measures so it doesn't happen again... Or, both. I fully intended to work on my V8 footage all week, then realized that I needed to do work on a Vevor video, had service calls and started building the stand for my milling machine.... So I got exactly no editing done on it, haha.

Now one is 24 and the other is 21 and my son is 22. Cherish those times bro because they are absolutely wonderful. Awesome job with the jet ski, it’s looking amazing. Congrats on the speed runs as well. Love how it lays over a bit when you start it and the sound is amazing for a jet ski.

[@azdeserthobbies2047]

I love your guys videos keep it up a couple recommendations if I may that are coming from an experience drag boat racer there's a reason we don't wear that style helmets if that water catches a lip of your helmet it will snap your neck second thing if you hit the water at speed typically it will rip your helmet right-off Lifeline sells a helmet restraint kit that basically has six straps that bolt to your helmet and has a belt that goes blow your arms and straps around your chest to keep your helmet from flying off should you enter the water be safe have fun keep it up

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks for caring, I never really say it in the videos but I don’t strap the helmet so if I do fall into the water it should just pop right off. Rather then a bad chiropractor adjustment. Basically I wear it to keep bug’s and birds off my face at higher speeds

[@edcmag1]

Back in the early 90's there was a company that put a helicopter jet engine in one. It was advertised. It was wicked. I got in line. Put a down payment on one. I think they were 10K in 1993. All Kevlar. Wicked design. They never could get the engine to agree with the water. This is the coolest thing I've seen since.

[@Fantaman900]

To FFing bad it breaks everytime but it's so awesome V8 jetski😂

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

I often think that the only reason why I like jetskis is because of how often mine breaks ... Gives me something to do when I'm not riding, haha.

[@metalavenger23]

I mean it’s a land based engine so it takes a bit of figuring to make it seaworthy. And that’s probably a lot more power than that whole jet drive is built to handle.

[@betterseatsinc2010]

If you guys made a complete conversion kit for a non turbo v8 conversion, I would buy it.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

We have been considering it for a while. But I don’t know if we will actually do it.

[@betterseatsinc2010]

@JetSkiBrothers Pick the most widely used v6 or v8, example toyota 3.5v6. Install work out all issues and copy all of the parts needed to make a complete swap. Mass produce. I know it is easy to say. But plenty of people are tired of getting ripped of by jetski parts stores. I personally have over 10 skies I will eventually try and adopt bike or car engines for. I think there is a good market for this conversion.

[@jimhulme8321]

​@@betterseatsinc2010power to weight. You should really consider a salvage or auction hya busa sport bike. 1.3 liters 200 horse. Turbo kits go for around 6 k. Low compression pistons you could easily hit 300 400 horse pump gas. 10 k total build.

[@racerx2084]

Good stuff guys. Can’t remember when you were building it did you reinforce the pump tunnel area? When you start hitting 80+ that is a safe thing to do so it doesn’t get ripped out from the pressure. Also have you looked into getting the bigger pump assembly from the svho setups? I hope you guys consider taking this down to Florida for a hydrodrag event. I’m sure the pwc youtuber Calas would love to see this ski and help you with any thing if you wanted to try out the hydrodrags.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yes pump tunnel has been reinforced. I think it would be fun to do hydo drags with it but we’ll see. I wouldn’t be going in all cocky thinking we would win or anything like that. It’d be more like I hope this thing makes it through without breaking 😂

[@bacalao5181]

You guys gotta bring this out to the HydroDrags in Florida

[@charleshorseman55]

You need to get a more aggressive grate on this thing and perhaps trim up a wee bit to keep it planted on the ass end because the worst thing that can happen is it overspins out of the water. Just my armchair opinion but that is an awesome machine and I'm seriously considering copying.

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

Once you start getting to these speeds, not only is an aggressive grate good, but it becomes necessary to modify the hull by putting a bump before the inlet... The water speed gets so high that it doesn't want to change direction and go into the pump, causing the pump to starve for water / work harder to pull it in. The lump in front of the pump causes a low pressure area behind it, diverting water into the inlet naturally ... I only know about this as I heard Finnegan talking about it on Finnegan's garage.

Hey 14 minutes into your video? Pop! I got an idea for you with what you have there and how you launch what you've got there? Just an idea. How about you make a single V-8 jet ski trailer just for home launching? Like build a single PWC trailer for a reverse launch at home. With tilted mind you at up high in the rear of the trailer and low near the front? Then you can John Deere it backwards into the water and jump on fire it right up and take off.
