TWIN TURBO LS-SWAPPED JET BOAT DISTURBS THE PEACE!

This is Episode 248 of Mike Finnegan's Garage and this time I'm getting my wife's twin-turbo LSX jet boat ready for a family vacation. The cooling system is a mess so I spent a day cutting, crimping and installing new hoses and then Kevin Smith from KSR came over to help water test the boat on my local lake. It went about as well as it always does but we did learn some valuable lessons. Once testing ended I decided to teach Kevin how to ride my old 1994 Yamaha Superjet stand-up personal watercraft. That turned out to be really fun and I think he may now be as addicted to riding the thing as I am. Hope you enjoy the vid! Thanks for watching and I'll see ya soon.

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

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.

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.

Love all your content...especially the boats. I just sold my 40 year old Kustom Kraft TX20...Twin turbo Gale Banks BBC. Had lots of fun with it. I'm now retired and 83. One question has always been on my mind. They told me to always be in the water to run it. When I'm working on it that really inconvenient. I've seen snippets of a disconnect but never put it together. The shot of your Eliminator cleared that up. I saw the name (Jetaway) and looked it up. I would have loved to know that years ago. Nobody ever explained things to me so I'm trying to give the new guy a break. Would yo do a couple of things to help? A video explaining the Jetaway and how it's used and installed. Also, would love for you to do a deep dive on your control box and system. Lots there to learn. Thank you.

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
