You know, ALL these years I thought that Freiburger was the weak link. Well..... I stand corrected. 🙄 It was Finnegan. It's ALWAYS been Finnegan. LOL A rock in a t-shirt. I guess content is content.
The reason I like watching your channel and a few others is because you just don't show finish successes. You show the challenges and mistakes. To me that's what makes channels like this enjoyable to watch seeing those challenges overcoming those challenges documenting I'm not keeping them out of the view I think it's great
@@danielduteil7376 Ronald is agreeing. Higher volume means more flow means lower pressure. It's a good idea, as the regulator becomes the restrictor, instead of the outlet at some point.
@@mikedmt I'm guessing that the inlet and outlet were stilled designed with the flow of a normal electric pump in mind, not high pressure/volume from the jet pump on the boat.
I really dig this channel! Im envious of the craft in Mike’s garage and appreciate his generosity to take the time to show techniques let alone the fun he has. You rock Buddy 🤘🏻
Tommy u killing it on the vids. I from Central Illinois right on Indiana line. Scenes out in country and house makes me so homesick for spring. Can almost smell cut grass, corn fields, and flowers. Sure same reason other fans watch. I your dad's age. We all just like you boys and all your friends and Allison. Were raised right but played hard. Know it's lot of hard work and long nights. But appreciate u all. U don't have millions following u but I sure bet u have some of the best fans . Good luck this weekend and u all be safe. Can't wait to catch a event soon. 👍
Mike I noticed you don’t have a copper hammer in the box. You need one. Worth every penny man. I’m sure if you mentioned it on the channel you’d get several sent to you.
When Mike and Kevin get together, it`s always a treat. Looks like you 2 had a blast. I`m 65 and would love to try that, never been on one, but I don`t heal fast anymore🤣
There’s 3 things I did where I had never been so sore. Learning to snowboard, (at 20) tubing behind a boat with a woman driving it, and learning to ride a stand up jet ski, even at like 15 years old. You use muscles you didn’t even know you had, and are reminded about 2 days later…. At 65 you’d be crippled for 2 week’s minimum
I Noticed you are running a AN reducer on the outlet of your water to air intercooler. i recommend removing that restrictor and try running a larger hose. should help lower the water pressure while still being able to flow the max amount of water through the intercooler
That’s my home lake. Those white polls aren’t marking rocks. Those are Chanel markers. If you turn right out of your cove and make the next left there is a jet ski slalom course and ski jumps up in the next cove. Love getting to see content on my home lake 😎
Grew up with a 16' white water racing hull with a jet drive. 455 Olds rocket N/A. To help with oil cooling we put a honeycomb style oil to water inner-cooler an a gate valve with two remote mounted filters. The gate valve regulated the velocity then a pressure valve to bring the lake pressure off the jet drive to standards of usable pressure. Before the pressure valve was installed we had some low quality oil filters explode an I remember being 15 an taking an oil shower after a full throttle pull.
LOL @ Jetslis.... try to ride a Wetbike! My friends asked me never to bring it on vacation at the Colorado River again. I picked it up pretty easy but it still broke a couple of my ribs riding/crashing it in rough water at Lake Elsinore. It was stolen so I moved on to boats again. BTW I grew up about 1/2 mile from Eliminator's first shop in Huntington Park and knew Bob when I was a teenager and he first started the business in an old gas station shop on State St.. I have always wanted a Daytona since he made the first one but never bought one. I have a 15' outboard Tunnel retired race boat from Florida now... looks like a mini Daytona. I love "your wife's boat"!
My daughter was watching this with me and when Mike said, "is there anything he can't do?" My daughter speaks up, "Can he crochet???" 😀 So, Kevin, can you crochet??? 😁
Another great jet boat video! I use the earls pro 350 hose on my stealth and found it’s easy and clean to cut the hose with a set of the craftsman straight blade hose cutters
The channel has gone from the cool/crazy dude down the road to... the boutique shop on the other side of town. Wishing Finn all the success, but my eyes glaze over watching some of this.
@@bdockett Where does he get his income from? TH-cam? Damn I work in oil and gas make a good living but this inflation is killing me. I literally paid almost 50 bucks to make tacos last night. Wtf!!

Finnegan, so glad you mounted the intercooler Reg down by the transom. It looked funny at first with something that looked like it belonged on a torch bottle screwed into a $10k intake. We’ll done guys
I have inherited a few jet boat hulls, and a Hydrostream from my father who passed back in Augest. Once i get these things figured out, maybe ill see you out there!
It's funny how the little things always gets myself as well.,lol! I'm glad it was somthing simple,( on your regulator) & your fuel system. Thanks again brother👍👍
Willing to bet 99% of the guys watching this will never be able to afford that crimper and all required accessories. But it's nice to see u have one and know how to use it 😂 I'll let ya know when I need to borrow it thanks for learning me how to use it lol
Not a tool for a home gamer. I have to own a crimper for hydraulic lines, servicing our business' vehicles and equipment and the cost is even bigger than this set. The higher you go, the more blood you cough. Best to bring a wheelchair to the first internet search for stuff like this.
Love your channel and the projects you’ve chosen to share with us viewers. These videos keep me company while I’m wrenching on a 60’ ya by on lake Travis in austin Tx
I did the pressure testing for BIC years ago, I hope your regulating your water pressure on the outlet side of your intercooler. Could be allowing it to run low on water causing fluctuating water temps.
The maintenance shops I've worked in always had one, but we made enough hoses that our supplier provided the crimper and dies as long as we bought our hose and fittings from them. They didn't give us the crimper but leased it to us for $1.00 a year. They are nice to have.
@@CooterTravenport Yeah, for the average home-gamer, this is next level but if you're Finnegan and have the collection of vehicles he has, I can imagine it become economical to do it yourself quite quickly.
Earls makes hose ends with an olive for that Ultra Pro line I've got a few on my car no special tools needed. It's really similar to the standard AN hose ends, but the end slides over the nylon, the olive screws into the end and just screw the whole thing together. You don't need to take out a loan to make this work lol.
Love your Billet Intercooler from " Frankenstein " Mike u dont mention if u have a Aluminum Intercooler Core ? Or a Whipple Cupronickle Intercooler Core ? If u r able 2 upgrade 2 the Cupronickle Core ur inlet temperatures will drop dramatically. U will then have a super happy engine . And then u will be able 2 crank up t h e Boost
being an old jet boater myself, put cheap house style gate valves from the pump, as a primary control, then to your regulators.....or preasure gauge , simple and works
I was admiring you neighbors boat docks. Mr. Finnegan, I have that connection. I have a friend that builds them. If you ever are interested in your own, I’d like to send you his way. They ship all over the world.
Also if ur doing alot of plumbing with plastic pvc etc. I recommend getting the black tubing cutters from any hardware or plumbing store. Not the ratcheting type just the hand cutters
E85 will definitely help. Even being injected into the intake runners will still cool the charge air a bit and more importantly ethanol is a more stable fuel than petrol so even if it didn’t affect the air temp you could add more timing anyway. Also putting a larger exit on the inter cooler should reduce the pressure inside it, that way you get to keep all the flow into the core
I love how you mentioned its my wifes boat and taking the kids but its a race boat with two seats you guys need a family boat so you can all to water sports.
I wouldn't worry so much about trying to restrict the incoming flow of water so much, make sure the discharge water outlets are oversized vs the intakes. Let whatever size hose you run from the jet drive, to the intercooler be your flow restriction. So if you run half inch to the intercooler, weld on a new bung (or two) that are way over 1/2 inch so they pose almost no resistance to the water flow coming out of the intercooler. That will give you great flow and cooling, and very low actual water pressure in the core.
the right tools are expensive but worth every dollar to make the job easier and cleaner and get it done right! The wife must be so happy with her boat right now...... can't wait to see her actually drive it 😂😂😂😂😂
Kevin is such a good dude a very talented with all types of motorized vehicle. He done good with the Jetski. If it was me doing it,It would have been a flop fest
Could be wrong but my guess would be, the intercooler needs more flow, not pressure. Is there a restriction somewhere that can be removed? Feed as much water as you can to the cooler and focus on lowering the pressure by removing restrictions... Maybe..
I used my dewalt and a cut off wheel the first time doing nylon stainless ptfe lines, as long as I went slow it worked great, too fast and it wanted to heat up too much and melt the Ptfe/nylon. Obviously if you have the extra cash the proper tools are ideal but a cut off wheel can be used properly on a budget. To be fair I used compression AN and am unsure if the crimp connections are more finicky
Good stuff! I wonder if you lubed up the splines on the jetaway if it wouldnt stick. Just reminded me of PTO shafts on tractors, they are a bear when they get dry. Food for thought!
If the disconnect for the jet drive uses dogs to engage a gear, you probably had it where the dogs were on top of the teeth on the drive. Rotate the jet drive to line it up properly and it should just slot in. It is kind of like shifting a sequential gearbox without the engine running. If it isn't lined up, it won't work. No matter how hard you hit it.
@@frankly88 I'm not a fan of bumping starters, it puts a lot of peak load on parts. Easier to just rotate the jet itself, that way you can easily line it up if it still won't move.
@@Yvolve Confused... what load does that starter put on parts? Most drag racers with V8 have starter buttons in their engine bay for bumping motor over when adjusting valve train. That sound alot easier than having to jump in the water then stick your hand up into the jet drive
@@frankly88 Drag engines get rebuilt after every pass though. The rotating assembly has to deal with a lot of forces. It is strong enough to overcome the compression and inertia, so getting everything to move puts load on the bearings, which also have to deal with it all slowing down. It won't break an engine quickly, but it is extra wear you don't need, especially on a cold engine. If you can achieve the same by manually turning the jet-drive, I would always go for that option. Engines in cars don't always have this option, or being able to use the crank and a long ratchet, so you're left with bumping the starter.
No they dont you are thinking about Top fuel funny cars or Rails. im talking about V8 with solid lifters. but to line up this jet drive would take a bump or 2.. each to their own im bumpin that bitch till the cows comes home lol
More of a question than a comment on your intercooler pressure, if you are making 100psi water pressure and 20 psi boost would your effective pressure be 80psi?
No the two don’t mix. A water to air inter cooler is like a radiator in reverse, you are using cold water flowing through the core to cool the air moving over it. Just like when you pressurise a standard cooling system it doesn’t affect the air around it, pressurising an inter cooler won’t affect the air inside it
@Woodie-xq1ew I know the water and air are not mixing. I'm talking about effective pressure on the intercooler core. If you push on the air side with 10 psi and push on the water side with 10 psi the effective pressure on the component is zero.
When you're tweaking for an extra mile an hour, cooling is paramount in reducing the effect of heating on metals. The metal density is really what you are tweaking on at this point. To keep the expansion under control and increase the Pressure.
Twin Turbo LS is ridiculous. Keep up the good work hahahaha Clear example of one those legitimate "Excess is best" Keep on keeping on. Glorious full tilt noise & they look a million bucks on the water 2 thumbs up!!!
Hey Mike I design and build speak ignited irrigation power unit packages, 95% of which are cooled by irrigation water via a closed loop heat exchanger on both the engine and intercooler circuits. We are able to keep IAT's BELOW ambient and you certainly should be able to do the same.
Thanks again for having me up!! I miiiiiight still be a little sore from the Jet Skis, but that just means that I need to ride more!!
That would be cool Kevin. Cheers mate and have a great summer.

A larger diameter outlet hose might reduce back pressure on the intercooler.
Yes, more volume is likely the best solution.
@@ronaldnielson8591 My point was a larger outlet could help reduce back pressure. Just a thought.
@@danielduteil7376 Ronald is agreeing. Higher volume means more flow means lower pressure. It's a good idea, as the regulator becomes the restrictor, instead of the outlet at some point.
Came here to see if someone said this.... The ports in the intercooler look pretty large. Probably that way for a reason
@@mikedmt I'm guessing that the inlet and outlet were stilled designed with the flow of a normal electric pump in mind, not high pressure/volume from the jet pump on the boat.

Kevin is the James Bond of the automotive world. He can do anything.
Mike, make sure your outlet plumbing is WAY bigger than supply, to help increase flow without pegging pressures.

@Woodie-xq1ew I know the water and air are not mixing. I'm talking about effective pressure on the intercooler core. If you push on the air side with 10 psi and push on the water side with 10 psi the effective pressure on the component is zero.
Finnegan and KSR make a great team!
When you're tweaking for an extra mile an hour, cooling is paramount in reducing the effect of heating on metals. The metal density is really what you are tweaking on at this point. To keep the expansion under control and increase the Pressure.
Twin Turbo LS is ridiculous.
Keep up the good work hahahaha
Clear example of one those legitimate "Excess is best"
Keep on keeping on. Glorious full tilt noise & they look a million bucks on the water
2 thumbs up!!!
Mr Finnegan...you got an imposter/scammer?
Guys-Guys.. A rookie also would have left the PLUG ashore.
Best to you Scott 🏁
Hey Mike I design and build speak ignited irrigation power unit packages, 95% of which are cooled by irrigation water via a closed loop heat exchanger on both the engine and intercooler circuits. We are able to keep IAT's BELOW ambient and you certainly should be able to do the same.
Hi Finnegan what can you put two in a coolers on each side of the engine with electric fans would not help cool things down
Can you water cool the turbos? Would help cool the intake air temperatures
The housings on those NRE Mirror Image turbos are water-cooled.
They are water cooled.. As far as the center sections...
@Finnegan's Garage spoke too soon, I heard you say it later on.
