I love that this project started as a “Can it be done?” sort of a deal and thankfully didn’t stop there! It has been so fun to see the different iterations, failures and learning opportunities that have come from the build process. Keep it up please!
@@JetSkiBrothers hahaha we all laughed with you and at ourselves cause we've all been there in one way or another 😂 would have been easy to skip over that part / not go out of your way to edit in in, but glad you did. big ups man sick vid and sicker skis 🤙
@@JetSkiBrothers Hah ! I get distracted by my own thoughts, or by my cat... or a moth that finds its way into the garage... Well done getting anything done
2:45 That's a lot of bolts 👍 Lol... no pushrods ... I thought it sounded a little funny turning over. Hey, at least your pistons aren't in backwards ! 8:19 I'm probably wrong, that that sounds like the timing is off. 9:00 Hoooray !! I was Right ! Awesome video. That montage at the end was epic, also !
I feel your pain it's always the little things that make you want to pull your hair out And I don't have enough hair to lose anymore Thanks for the video it was really fun To watch And I don't mean watching you struggle Just the process of putting that motor together and into that ski awesome job👍🏼👍🏼
I found out that all aluminum 5.3l LS engines used are about $2,000 average in Central Pennsylvania this year. I was like woah??? Had no idea. Last one I had was in a 2005 GMC Yukon XL and it was an awesome engine!
Just want to say that OHV engines with no pushrods mounted actually usually got pretty good compression. The airflow numbers through the heads tend to be kind of bad though... 😮. But seriously, you did a great job as usual and I liked the compilation. Merry christmas to JSB!
Gday Josh, We use to have a Fastlane 40 down here in Oz with two 454’s, Merlin Heads and associated fruit. We pretty much went everywhere at full noise and went through our fair share of engines. Got pretty good at swapping them out. 😁 I know the feeling of spinning a bearing due to low oil pressure. We had the boat fully loaded with the fam and gear for a weekend over at the island. I had accidentally knocked the throttle to fairly wide open on one of the engines (out of gear). Sure enough, started with a lot of noise, (sounded great) then knock, knock, knock. “Sorry fam, we’re going home”, engine out, strip down etc. Aggggh! 😁 Your new engine sounds sweet. Looking forward to what next year brings. Wishing you and all the fam a great happy and safe Xmas and all the very very best for the new year, Cheers 🍻
Pretty sweet other than having A V8 directly under your junk. Thankfully rod usually go out the bottom. Backfires Are a different Beast altogether though
With max rpm of whqt, 7500 rpm, do you think to hit 100 miles per hour or more, need higher rpm ? Or bigger jet pump, prop ? Or different gear drive ratio ?
@JetSkiBrothers hahaha hell yeah bring it on brother! 🤣 I rode a gp1 with a fully built 1500 and idk if I need to go any faster on a stand up. The hole shot felt like my kawi zx12r with nitrous. Idk what that bad boy feels like with that turbo v8 amd if 90 on a run about feels like 80 on a stamd up but danm thats fast haha
I believe it got water in the engine when the line came off the turbo. It was in there spraying like a fire hose. Any way it has better water separation on the engine ventilation now to help if that situation happens again.
A 2jz would be fun! To be fair, these ls engines have all been from the junkyard with lots of miles on them already. Build an ls with new parts and this shit won’t happen.
For the desire to do something, grade -A. For knowledge of the basic laws of physics, dynamics, hydrodynamics -F. There are small turbo jet engines. Good from a tank) but big.
jesus i was hoping you lit this thing on fire at this point and just kept honing your skills modding any other skis. i have begun to hate this thing on your behalf. i have a 2017 yamaha gp1800 that's blown up during every break in since I bought it. This is your version of the GP1800 lemon that I own. Have i given up on the ski yet? no. like you i am stupid.
@@JetSkiBrothers It was interesting though. Ever wondered what happens if you try to start a pushrod engine with no pushrods in it? Well there you go! lol Thanks.
Dude what about a dorito spinning apparatus in a pwc?? Find an older clapped out Yamaha? We all know if those early 2000s 2 seater wave runners had power they'd have been the best pwc on the market. With a c16 burning, bridgeported 13b and a gtx55 600 gen 4 on a haltech elite 750???? Upgrade to a 2020's GP SVHO jet if possible? Be like "SSSSAAAAAAAADUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!" ALL damn day.
setting yourself up for failure by not using a torque wrench....thats probably why it failed in the first place and you still havent learned your lesson....😮

Keep it up please!
I totally agree! We’re going to keep refining this v8 build and do some other builds too in 2024 👍🍻
This summer is going to be sick for the JetSki brothers!!!
Thank goodness the junkyard always has at least 5 truck ls engines at all times for less than a jet ski engine.
Thanks for telling us about the pushrod mistake! So real. So funny, too.
You are so welcome! I think being real is more important than being cool/right 👍

Wow great job mate us Australia’s love it good luck 👍👍👍
Top Bloke
Nothing like the V8, merry Christmas and big thanks
Thanks, merry Christmas to you too!
Looking good. Way to think ahead and not just toss the aluminum block in there. Well done with the build and well done with the video.
Thanks 👍 I try to think about things sometimes when I get the opportunity. Haha but you know the kids keep me distracted.
@@JetSkiBrothers Hah ! I get distracted by my own thoughts, or by my cat... or a moth that finds its way into the garage... Well done getting anything done
You’re a wizard!! In a trance watching you work away
Dude. You're the only one that has done this. Please keep going. By the way I have a 500 hp 454 bb jet boat so I love this channel
Thanks, will do!
I excited of how much this channel has grown and the level of the content
Thanks 🍻
2:45 That's a lot of bolts 👍

Awesome video. That montage at the end was epic, also !
Glad you enjoyed 👍🍻 also 🥇for figuring it out. Wish you were here in person so I could have figured it out faster 😂👍
@@JetSkiBrothers I'm pretty sure I would have never guessed to check for push rods, haha... but probably the ignition.

MERRY CHRISTMAS JSB AND FAMILY!
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and yours too 🍻
Be good to see it on the water again ..

I like how the bellhousing goes on with like 45 bolts WW2 style. "That ain't going nowhere".
You want a Texas speed 427 in that thing LOL
Just want to say that OHV engines with no pushrods mounted actually usually got pretty good compression. The airflow numbers through the heads tend to be kind of bad though... 😮.
But seriously, you did a great job as usual and I liked the compilation. Merry christmas to JSB!
Good tip! Haha I tell you first hand that this is true. 😂 merry Christmas to you too
!
I wanna see another beater video lol
I want to make another junker video. Those are a lot of fun 👍
What and where does someone come up with a bellhousing gear reduction set up like that??
Thats what I'm talking about !!
Finally!!! 5.3 all aluminum block yippy!
Absolutely fantastic… V8 Jet ski. A dream come true.
Happy holidays . I will be looking forward to seeing the V8 Jet Ski on the water once the weather gets warmer , . I love your videos .
Happy holidays!
Awsome vid man

I liked hearing your story thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family too 🍻
You could hear that in the way it was cranking at first.
Tight real tight
8:30 seconds in and I'm feeling the pain😊
fireing order

Very true!
You should put a V8 in one of those little jet boats that people are putting jet ski engines into.
With max rpm of whqt, 7500 rpm, do you think to hit 100 miles per hour or more, need higher rpm ? Or bigger jet pump, prop ? Or different gear drive ratio ?
Totally unexpected video !!! Let's GO !
I hope you’re expecting lower than expected expectations 😂
@@JetSkiBrothers Haha. Touche.
I want a diesel jetski :)
Another awesome video! Keep up the good work Josh! Can’t wait for winter projects!
Thanks! Will do!
Can’t wait for the next update! How’s the 1100 superjet doing?? Anything new with that
The 1100 super jet is good. Just tucked away for the winter.
Always pushing the boundaries!
🍻
Are you guys planning on a fx1 build in the future?
Yes 💯
Smooth noise,,❤
I'm impressed more dad words weren't being used.
Now drop that into a sxr1500 if you want to be real cool 😂 sea rat 3 here we come!!😂😂
I was just thinking about a script 1500 today, but not for that reason. Haha
@JetSkiBrothers hahaha hell yeah bring it on brother! 🤣 I rode a gp1 with a fully built 1500 and idk if I need to go any faster on a stand up. The hole shot felt like my kawi zx12r with nitrous. Idk what that bad boy feels like with that turbo v8 amd if 90 on a run about feels like 80 on a stamd up but danm thats fast haha
Are those exhaust manifolds just car ones or are they water cooled ?
GF has 8 skis in her back yard, been sitting 14 years... Might have me a rental company soon hah
Hopefully they all run 👍
I love this channel and your builds.
Thanks!
So I got an old Polaris 750SLT with a hole in the middle piston. Any good engine upgrades I can swap in place of the original 3 cylinder?
Hey Josh, Any update on why the bearing failed ? Did you make some mods on the new engine ?
I believe it got water in the engine when the line came off the turbo. It was in there spraying like a fire hose. Any way it has better water separation on the engine ventilation now to help if that situation happens again.
Do the Catalina race next yr!
That would be awesome 👍
How are your neighbours? lol
what spark plugs do you use??
Ngk
glad too see everything working again ,them ls engines make Good power for 5 minutes then break needs a 2jz
🍻
A 2jz would be fun! To be fair, these ls engines have all been from the junkyard with lots of miles on them already. Build an ls with new parts and this shit won’t happen.
Sounds like it has a mild cam in it

It’s nice to know that I am not the only one 😂👍
Update ?
It's not a rotary engine , it needs push rods😂✌️
Rotflmao!. But that's an awesome idea!
Haha yeah, you’re not wrong
@@JetSkiBrothers It was interesting though. Ever wondered what happens if you try to start a pushrod engine with no pushrods in it? Well there you go! lol Thanks.

This wet bike is so stupid. i need to ride it, yesterday.
