v8 turbo ski first ride 2024

[@Arlind86]

pleaase dont give up on the v8 jetski i think its where a lot of us found this channel and subscribed. It's a 1of1 , i dont think there are any v8 jetski on youtube really. Don't give up, these videos have been an inspiration

[@zxggwrt]

Definitely a big reason!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks I appreciate that

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

Awww man. I wish I was there and able to help with this. I know your frustration. I'm not sure what other people expect, but I look forward to 3-4 videos on the V8 ski per year. WIth a project this large, and with everything else you have going on, I'm just happy to see it at all. I love the evolution of this project and can't wait to see what happens next.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yeah exactly

[@smonk2785]

Ur gonna need to dry sump it or make some crazy custom baffles. You will constantly starve the oil pump for oil. Happened to me a lot when circuit racing LS engines. I’ve had the same issue with a 5L build. Also cooling is a big thing just from the way the coolant flow is on these engines. I switched mine to reverse flow so Coolant enters the heads and flows towards the block. Much better for consistent power when heat soaking

[@N4CR]

Dry sump is the only way to be sure for extended service intervals or if its welling up in the head. You need that extra capacity, scavenging and lines from the head...

[@JCat30127]

I love the fly-by sound.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

[@lovivelaverdure1290]

Man the noise thing makes is just so good

[@JetSkiBrothers]

🍻👌

[@FxnBoats]

Ok so I have lots of info for you on your engines. Depending on which 6.0 you had it was likely 9 to 1 compression. The lm7 is an iron block 5.3 that is 9.5 to 1. The aluminum 5.3 is an l33 and is 10.5 to 1 compression and almost 200lbs lighter than the iron block ls variants. So if you went from a 6.0 lq4 to a 5.3 l33 it's possible that the added compression along with being lighter would be faster than the low comp 6.0 iron block. LS engines have to get pretty bad to lose much HP from wear. These are all gen 3 LS variants. The gen 4 stuff would take more time to explain

[@FxnBoats]

Also hit me up if you have any questions. I build these engines all the time for work, and would love to help. Also I'd love to help yall figure out your gearbox issues mostly because I want to build one of my own. Don't get discouraged. This thing is super cool, and the only reason I found your channel

[@tookiefranks7746]

Someone can use google! Congrats

[@FxnBoats]

@tookiefranks7746 someone has spent 15 years as a tech, and builds these engines as a hobby Jackass

[@DakotaB90]

Keep it going! We know you can accomplish it. This thing is awesome.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 🍻

[@TheSlamnslash]

SOMEBODY PLEASE DROP THESE GUYS A GOOD LS MOTOR! Come on, yes you the guy with like 10 in his garage. Help us out!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Love this idea 👍🍻

[@maxmax350]

Thanks for the vid! Hang in there man, you’ll get it dialed in!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks

[@jrbugans]

Haven't had your videos pop up in my feed for awhile, good to see you guys again.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

🍻

[@micahhittinger6083]

Keep going! It’s awesome! I love your other content as well! I’ve been watching since way before the V8.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 👍🍻

[@bobbymichelin540]

Such a good build. Persistance pays off, i know you can figure it out.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 🍻👌

[@nitrotain]

Keep it up, came here for the V8 Jetski, that thing is insane....

[@JetSkiBrothers]

👌🍻

[@MikeZ32TT]

thanks for the update.

[@maxxproductions7749]

Love this ski it brought me to your channel

[@JetSkiBrothers]

👌👍

[@Rodneysmallengine]

You guys do good work. Love the videos

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 🍻

[@aspec404]

Seems like the limitations will be in the drive line since that motor pushes so much power. As before you were shredding the impellor blades and housings. Keep up the good work, eager to see where this can lead.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

We keep finding the limitations, fix those and continue. Never know what will need improvement next

[@smplyizzy]

Don’t give up. Very impressive

[@JetSkiBrothers]

👍🍻

[@robgillam340]

Keep going, this is why I sub

[@JetSkiBrothers]

👌👍

[@oztrax3780]

keep going your nearly there, your pump needs higher RPM for better WOT speeds

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks 🍻

[@bobbylong9001]

Hit that 👍 🍻

[@JetSkiBrothers]

👍🍻

[@timothylund6672]

You should l9ok into mercruiser engines or at least their manifolds which are water cooled you need to keep up the hard work but definitely look into them and see what boats use for cooling plus mercruiser uses alot of gm engines. Hope tjis helps you guys on this awesome journey.

[@Chance.R]

HydroDrag skis use the older version or the most recent Garmin GPS 73 for top speed runs. It's waterproof, has speed history, top speed, etc

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks for the info 👍 I’ll look into getting one

[@seanday6403]

That's the only jet ski I've heard that sounds good, nice work bet it goes like s off a shovel !

[@JetSkiBrothers]

🍻👍

[@etackhelicopter]

The problem with a berk style mixed flow pump, is the bowl. The only way I can see you getting around it, is doing some major hull work to the bottom by setting the pump back like we do on our jetboats. I mean, just by imagining it, the hand hole for the clean out would be behind the swim deck. A LOT would change regarding CG and moment of thrust. Southern jet is likely your best option. For about half the price of a Hamilton, and being produced on this continent, with more standard features, and higher HP limits, it would be the only axial flow jet I would consider. . You need to take a string, from the back of the crank, and pull it as far into the back of the hull as you can. That is your best case scenario for a standard jet pumps driveshaft. Usually, the oil pan of any jetboat, is almost scraping the top of the pump adapter. I would love to work on this idea. . There are others that have v8 swapped before you, but yours is the most successful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqKQlKWIo5uHja8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH3Lk4yLq9loa7c

[@etackhelicopter]

This video will give you the visual of what I am talking about with the mixed flow berk style pumps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6S9nWp_pqd1q5Y

[@larryperdue508]

You should get a Steve Morris engine SML or SMX twin turbo made for a jet ski because boat engines are different from car and truck engines because boat engines are under constant load and car and truck engines are not so some of the internal parts are way different, at least do some research on it it will help you in the long run 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DessiLu14]

You guys bringing the v8 jetski to the Hydrodrags this November?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I wish. But honestly probably not.

[@KTMGREG55]

Aluminum truck blocks were L33 designation . Only made for a few years in trucks and suvs .

[@dandable]

I want one.

[@mikeperry2814]

Try keeping an IR video camera/thermometer with you to check gearbox and other system components. Is the alternator/magneto able to keep up with all the electronics (CPU, coils, pumps...)? I respect your patience sir!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

That's a great idea! I'm always learning new things. I'll have to keep that in mind when we get this thing back on the water. Thanks for the advice! It has a boat alternator on it and should provide plenty of power for the electric components on this thing

[@Briandswinford]

Been following this from the beginning. I would have given up a very long time ago. I don't know how you have the will to continue.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Even though it’s difficult the feeling of doing something different is satisfying.

[@SMGPERFORMANCE16]

Does this have a dry sump? Its an oiling issue for sure.

[@AudioFreqx]

'If' we wanna see... ♥

[@larryperdue508]

I am thinking that maybe the pistons are bound up because turbo charged and blower charged engines the rings need to have a larger gap 😊

[@zeke2566]

[@averykienbaum2904]

Building a pair of x2s with yamaha 760s!! Any tips and tricks!? Need help in the exhaust world

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Sounds cool but as you said the pipes are going to be tricky

[@averykienbaum2904]

@@JetSkiBrothers doing the same type of mod exhaust as ur buddy who did the 1100 swap did. Modded 1100 pipe. Not excited to learn tig but it'll work 😂

[@FarmerFpv]

It sounds like my boat, lol

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Nice 🍻

[@bigdaddy5212]

Rotary Jetski Next ...

[@JetSkiBrothers]

I want to. But I kind of need some one to drop a perfectly running rotary in my lap. Already have a hull for it

[@dulljake]

Put one in a Yamaha SUV. That would be the way to go...

[@JetSkiBrothers]

The suv is a long ski but I don’t think the engine compartment is wide enough.

[@zxggwrt]

How does it feel at slow speeds? Does it feel tipsy or too heavy with the v8?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

It feels fine a slow speed I would say surprisingly normal

[@philis52]

V8 Ski! Looks way cool and floats good too! NO marine exhaust, No Windage tray, No oil cooler, Cooling system not pressurized correctly, Too lean of tune, too high of RPM for V8 for extended time, Improper bearing clearances for High RPM, NOT sufficiently crank shaft torque loaded... Even if it doesn't work, it will sometime in the future, I'll buy one! Let me know when ya get the water outta the OIL and fix the blown head gasket...

[@GoldenCroc]

"If it was easy, everyone would be doing it"

[@JetSkiBrothers]

So true

[@jerytherew1]

Head gasket

[@Jacobskibros]

Have you said your prayers for the v8 jet ski today?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

No but I probably should

[@brianermeling2764]

Ring gap?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Yes

[@angelmarquez1977]

I have a 1999 Yamaha GP760 pretty much stock any upgrade recommendations to make it faster?

[@jamesgarvey8402]

A V8. Clearly.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

High compression head after market pipe impeller and intake grate

[@furiangameclips]

anyone know what lake this is?

[@scottg391]

Time for a larger pump.

[@timewa851]

years ago. 85? That's decent for pushing a machine that is fully loaded,. which it is. bigger pump. or sleeker pump.

[@vornice7604]

i assume you swapped the cam into the 5.3 and acting more snappy is probably because the cam acts bigger in a 5.3 than in a 6.0 is how that works. or like u said the 6.0 was messed up for a bit

[@inteligentvtec]

I would run a solid roller 4.8 turning 8,000rpm.

[@N4CR]

This guy LS's.

[@stevejohnson8703]

Hang in there fellas, I think the hardest part for me would be reading comments from all the idiots that know so much more about everything 😅

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks, yeah the comments. Just grateful for the good ones. And on the bad ones just trying to keep the mindset of at least they felt passionate enough to leave a comment.

[@freekelsinghorst]

What are you doing? its totaly not as fast as a normal yamaha 4 cil engine with turbo. and the v8 is not reliabile?

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Building something different

[@CncObsession]

It is called a Dragy.

[@teshaxo1]

Should do a r1 swap

[@JetSkiBrothers]

The older fxho model comes standard with a mr1 engine.

[@RyanHoney-f5i]

Get a Sml block

[@jackdaniels2657]

Why not just go aluminum

[@JetSkiBrothers]

That’s the direction we’re headed

dude unsubscribe !!! no one will miss you .... we are hear for the content win or loose we just love watching a v8 ski these guys have put their heart and soul into this ski...and if they did stop your the kind of guy that would say i knew it would never work !! keep going guys the rest of us will not unsubscribe and we appreciate the entire build ❤ 💪 we would only be let down if you stopped the build 😊
