Stainless Steel Intake Results?

[ledouxmike]

Who out there has a R&D intake grate for the 1200r? Please let me know what you like about it and what you don't like about it. How many mph did you lose also. thanks

The 1200 grate gives you a good holeshot and slightly to no cavitation depending on how much power you have.

the 800 grate is roughly 1.5-2 mph faster but produces cavitation on the bottom end. You just can't nail it.

The advanced search feature of this forum has alot of information on it if you do a search.

Also to clear up any misconceptions, using a 1200 grate does not cause you to lose mph vs. the 800 grate.
The 800 grate is faster due to ramp and scoop design.

800 grate is roughly 1mph faster than the 1200 grate on a 2 stroke

very hard to get 1.5-2+ faster without modifying the crap out of it

True dat for a stock machine. Thanks for the clarification

* Ya know Rich, maybe I was thinking about the 05 pump netting 1.5-2mph

yep, mine was modified. 05pump + reeds + compression.

05 pump results with 1200 grate

On a stock boat running a 1200 grate you loose around .3 tenths.
On a mid to high 70 mph ski you lose around .8 to 1 mph. Over 80 mph and you start to loose over 1 mph. When you are close to 85 mph you loose a full 2mph and start loosing around 40 peak rpms, do to more water being stuff into the pump. The results could very on a conversion ski or even how the ski is proped. But the faster you go, the more speed the 1200 grate will take off.

I have a SS Grate that I purchased but have not mounted. All bolts are untouched. I will sell it for $225 plus whatever the shipping is.
I will also put it in the classifieds.
