FIGHT JAMES FOR BLOWING UP WAGO

Dont fit weight ballast, fit an empty tank you can fill and empty easily depending on passengers. You could fit a water pump to fill it up to balance the boat and drain to empty it.

[@ballistic02]

dont you really want heat and volume coming out of an exhaust manifold going into a turbo? like wouldnt the watercooler turbo manifold me counterproductive?

[@jeremyharr2328]

I suggest doing some research on Marine cooling systems before you install the Y in the waterline. Typically everything in a marine cooling system runs in series and it comes in from the pump and goes directly into the exhaust first in order to preheat the water so the engine can reach operating temp. Since heat is partially what drives the turbo you don’t want the cylinder head too cold .Also, you should have a water pressure regulator. The jet boat builders looking pretty awesome. I love the wrap design that you guys chose. Keep up the good work.

Brace the turbo. Lots of impact from jumps. This project is coming out so sick. Y’all are killin it

[@coreycollins420]

A boat mechanics tip: you should think about putting a check valve in the exhaust to keep any water from running back into the turbo/exhaust manifold and possibly the engine. If the exhaust exit is above the turbo, once you shut the engine off the water is gonna want to flow backwards. If the exit is below the waterline, water pressure will push water back into the turbo, etc.

I wanted to let you guys know that this turbo hot side setup isn't ideal. It's called a hot side for a reason, the total energy in the exhaust gas is the Pressure AND the Thermal Energy/Temperature. By cooling the exhaust before the turbo you're loosing a lot of thermal energy that could go to spinning the turbo. Also when you cool a gas, the pressure goes down. This will effect how fast the turbo will spool and the maximum boost you can produce. Ideally you want to insulate the exhaust manifold before the turbo to direct as much energy into the turbo as possible, then vent the turbo into as cool and low pressure an area as possible, most of the time this is just venting directly to atmosphere. The amount of energy a turbo can harvest is based on the difference in these two energy levels. This is why you lose performance when you run through an exhaust system after the turbo, because the energy in the downpipe (heat and backpressure) is greater than the atmosphere so the difference between the manifold and the downpipe isn't as big as the difference between the manifold and the atmosphere.

Guys, I dont want to pretend that I know anything about boating but, I dont think it's a good ideea to have a 1point faliure, enough to sink ya boat. I think we all agree on, couplers tend to pop off quite frequent. Just a thought... Sick boat tho.🥑👍

[@Matty.Hill_87]

That little exhaust flap is screwed when they set up 2step 😂

[@CCDzine]

Wyatt, it was the RMS Titanic.

[@TheRowe789]

Have you considered using stick on reflective heat barrier on the bottom of the rear seats to help keep them cooler as well? It works really well to keep header temp from transferring to the interior of our circle track cars.

[@mcgregor711]

Usually In jet boats. We run the water from the pump to the exhaust manifold then to the engine and then out.

This is exactly why this is one of my top five car content channels for the last four years running. I’m so glad that y’all hooked up with Cleetus and made the move South. You guys really upped your game with that one.

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

My favorite automotive channel these days. Perfect balance of content with really interesting builds. Others are flogging the same old dead horse which gets boring but not you guys. Keep just doing what you're doing fellas

[@numinous4789]

The lower level of heat energy in the exhaust manifold will negatively impact the turbo’s performance, though I understand why it’s necessary. It’ll be interesting to see how the setup performs overall. Exciting stuff!

[@gerardbordeleau9205]

Hi guys, about the oil pump, you pump it 10 times and it create vacuum in the tank, you let it suck !!!!

[@LazyGamer5]

go from the jetpump to the intercooler, from the intercooler, to the exhaust. that is how it is setup on seadoo and most yamaha.

[@josephgaribaldi2462]

@BoostedBoiz Kyle, I suggest adding a layer of heat insulation on the inside of the cover for the engine. Insulating the aluminum will make sure radiant heat does get the metal hot. Awesome build as awlways!

[@shawnjacks2072]

Witt is so talented you have no idea how lucky you are to have him on the team all your builds happen a lot faster and get done way better he is the biggest asset you have .

[@thebadfarmer]

The exhaust flap is a great idea. We use similar equipment on our commercial salmon boats up here in Alaska. When you have a 15' wave trying to push it's way up your tailpipe while towing a 900' net off of the beach, those make all the difference. I'm sure it's gonna help with whipping $hittys
