v8 ski top speed 2022

This video will not change your life, but you might find it interesting to see the v8 ski doing speed run after speed run with changes every run to see what improvements can be had. How fast is the V8 powered personal watercraft? Since it will go faster next year, a better question is how fast is it in 2022? That is exactly what we are going to figure out in this video. We well be doing lots of speed runs and working to dial in the jet pump setup for the naturally aspirated 6.0 ls based v8 that is currently in the ski.

Fastest V8 jetski in the world and i got to see it's progress from the very beginning!!! Holy smokes I'm so pumped for you guys!!! Thanks so much for sharing this monsters progress with us, I've had an absolute blast watching!!!

[@marcuslinton310]

​@notfiveo Yeah, complete waste due to being way too heavy and too fuel costly. There is a 4cyl ski making 1200hp and going 135mph right now. He's so far behind with this v8, it's ridiculous.

[@costasgeorgiou5015]

But yet he did what I been wanting to do for a while so it's cool. 😎

This is a waverunner not a JetSki. Kawasaki owns the trademark to the name Kawasaki and it’s we Todd did to call waverunners jetskis

[@clasicdemott5986]

Without a doubt, this is the best sounding ski. That V8 American sound screaming out of a ski going 85 MPH is a win win in my book. If the fastest ski in the world and the V8 ski both parked on a crowded beach, im certain that the V8 ski would get more attention.

[@justinh1478]

Great work gents. Love seeing multiple runs with different parts/mods to see what improved overall. Well done!!!!!

[@crfsikness]

You should have a race spec life vest rated for high speed impact and an unconsious victim. They make sure you float face up to prevent drowning in that case. Just lookin out for ya.

[@adzythepwcblokeinaustralia5467]

Great work guys , the pump can give more speed yet by having pressure bypass valves in front of the impeller in the housing that bolts to the transom . I run two pressure relief lines into one way valves that dump the water out the back beside the pump outlet . What this does is allows excess water pressure that can damage the pump tunnel to be managed and controlled so the tunnel does not inflate like a balloon ever so slightly each time you go top speed , reduces fatigue of the structure of the hull and drag .

[@ZacLowing]

Sounds similar to a wastegate on a turbo, and makes sense.

[@markharmon4963]

Why not engineer maximum through put?

[@adzythepwcblokeinaustralia5467]

@@markharmon4963 Yamaha never thought people would be pushing their hull to such high speeds and never designed the intake for maximum efficiency.

[@michaelshafer2996]

​@@markharmon4963 the pump can only process so much water and once you exceed the point it can intake the water you get pump stuffing like you seen in the video, it's very dangerous especially at 80+mph

[@eag8999]

Pressure reliefs are for avoiding stuffing and each one reduces top speed. At some point, it is a necessary safety device.

[@allenhay4811]

I think this is the Most BADASS Jetski I've ever seen.

I do have to say. This was a really good video. I've been watching you guys from the beginning. But the amount of parts and labour in this video is insane! You guys did a great job!

[@rickbullock4331]

Just the sound of the V8 engine is worth the price of admission and 85 m.p.h. ain’t too shabby. The jet spray can be used to kill fires if need be. Nice job guys.👍👍🇨🇦

V8 top speed is nothing to sneeze at. To get that number with a 2022 RXTX, you would need to drop another $5K on top of a ski with an MSRP of $19K. Congrats, Bros! They need to put you in the Guinness world records!

This is my favourite KZbin channel - keep the amazing coming! I love that your fam compound includes your kid in the action too. I envy you

[@ct1762]

Its crazy how much power a PWC needs to get to "just" 85mph compared to an outboard. I'd also say the biggest gains from here will come from hull blueprinting ie. sharpening all the rounded edges and making sure its razor-strait last 1/2 of the hull in a triangle-shape.

[@tamaralee4108]

Thats right. The V8 is heavier than the 4 cylinder engine that the hull was actually designed for. Speed could be improved with wider planing surface on the hull.

[@williambarringer6513]

A turbo 4 cylinder hydro foil with a propeller at the bottom of the foil? I don’t know that much about how that would all work I’m just guessing that would be fast

[@Wetlife0069]

That’s awesome Very cool build man Sounds great too

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 👍

[@kylemartz2961]

food for thought a 2022 seadoo gtr tops out at around 68 from personal experience however that is bone stock. that speed th v8 gets already is incredible!! keep up the great work!! and id love to see some 0-60 times of that thing!!!

[@executiveinvestments]

Old seadoo rxp 260 hit an indicated 78mph on the dash.

[@kitchensink7345]

That’s governed my GTRX 230 hit 71 mph with limit or off and I believe you could get 80 mph with the 300 with tune , intake and impeller upgrade

[@kylemartz2961]

@@kitchensink7345 I 100% agree with modifications it will go faster there is a noticeable dip in acceleration when it reaches speeds around 65 but if you drop down and gun it again it will jump back up to top speed very quickly. I was giving this data to show how fast that v8 ski is compared to a brand new stock ski. I plan on doing upgrades on it in the future and seeing what it can truly hit.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Great point!

[@claysoldier828]

I had an Ultra 150 that ran 65mph so 85 would be awesome for me! and a V8!! I think the cool factor is better than going faster but I'd like to see you hit 90mph. Bigger pump and more power will bring get it

[@nymetsfan912]

I haven’t rode a jet ski in years but as someone who owns motorcycles and other fast engine powered toys, I can say a jet ski definitely pulls the hardest out of everything I’ve ever rode. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have an LS motor between your legs 😮

[@williambarringer6513]

My buddies yz490 is fast, my z900rs is slightly faster, nothing pulls harder than a vmax as far as I know maybe a h2r or something like that, this guy blew past me on a vmax and I was trying to keep up on my 900 and no chance by 3rd gear he was pulling ahead

[@angelmillan2768]

@@JetSkiBrothers I also recommend install a good fuel pressure gauge to a fitting install right on top of the tunnel inside the hull just right above the shaft that’s where the pump is most pressure is loaded , that way you can keep an eye on your water pressure to see what changes you need , you just might need a higher rpm pitch this ski likes to see no more then 30 lbs and no more then 50 when comming off throttle or it will buck you, the higher the rpm and the more steady the pressure is your sweet spot.

Damn that is sick! I can guarantee that if you set aside all of the r&d and testing and experimental purchases, knowing what you know now, if you were to start from scratch you could totally hit the same target speed as riva stage three at a much lower coast and probably same if not better reliability! Awesome job guys! It’s been a blast to follow along through the whole journey with you guys from the wet bike days to this! You haven’t even begun to tap into power adders and things like the fzr hull shaving mod that is supposed to be a huge benefit. Tuning it to run on e85 could yield some nice gains! Who knows the sky is the limit but you have made an outstanding baseline for naturally aspirated power!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Funny thing is thanksgiving with Holley coming on board and giving us a bunch of parts we came in less than that 7k for a stage 3. Even with all the r and d, but yeah like you said now we could do for even less knowing what we know now.

Man, that LS sounds sooo good up on the pipe, and even N/A, it's quick as hell! It's amazing how the little tweaks to the pump and induction plate, etc. make a difference in speed and handling. Looks like the 160mm pump may be the way to go if you turbo-charge it!😄

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I made a game for you to play. You may have seen random numbers flashing on the screen. It might seem a little odd but I made a little game you can play if you want. Slight spoiler ahead so if you care about that then wait till the end of the video to finish reading this comment/play the game. Here is how it works the numbers flashing at the bottom left indicate how much faster or slower that run was compared to the previous one. The first run of the video speed is indicated by this --- and the second is indicated as +.2 meaning that run two is +.2 mph faster then run one. Run three is indicated as +.9 meaning it is .9 faster then run two and so on and so fourth. Playing this little scavenger hunt game will reveal the final top speed to the exact decimal point, and so to begin the game you need the exact speed of the first run. Which is 80.6 (it does go faster by the end of the video) There are a total of 14 runs with indicated speeds including first and last. Can you figure out what the speed is from all runs? leave your answer in a reply to this comment.

[@GoldenCroc]

What’s your target AFR and what timing are you running? Wondering how soft your tune up is. Might be plenty left on the table in regards to power. If that motor has some form of camshaft it’s going to make peak power well over 6000rpm. Worthwhile going down several impeller sizes and getting your WOT RPM in the mid 6’s.
