Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Basset header "TEE" ?
« on: November 10, 2007, 07:01:00 PM »got it, I thinkis there a valve to regulate flow on the "dump" line coming off the T-stat housing? What about incoming H2O pressure? Pressure regulator? Ball valve to regulate?
Thanks fellas

Not unless you installed it. The only thing a valve will due is the more water you hold back or restrict will increase your motor temp.
Best thing to do if you want to increase your motor temp to a more operable range is to use a thermostat, about 160 degrees is about right, but make sure and drill the t-stat too at least a 1/4" hole cause you don't want to restrict all that water.

The three sides of the T are all -8
Off the top of the motor one side does go to the T which then goes to the headers the other exit does need to exit the boat if it goes back to the motor or is plugged it will cause the water temp in the motor to climb and it will over heat or come pretty close depending on how hard you run the boat.
The Bassett T has a ball and spring inside, what this does is when there is not enough pressure from the motor being at a lower rpm it keeps the water from going into the headers and reducing the risk of reversion. As the RPM increases, the flow of the exhaust is higher and helps push the water out.
Its a good idea to check the ball and spring before the beginning of each season, the springs and deteriotate and come apart.
I think the T's are about $80.00 but they are serviceable.

Happy Birthday BeerJet...
We met the other day at my shop! Did you find the fuel filters you were looking for yet.
Lil Rick, how is that boat coming along, are you ready to race again?
I know we shouldn't use seat belts but how about a little velcro? LOL

I spoke with Jack awhile back and he said the optimum place for the intake was about 2-3 inches further back. I was thinking of breaking the intake out so I could polish and powder coat it, the suction housing and the bowl all at one time. I figure, if I am breaking it out and doing that work I might as well reset it so its at its optimum place for what I ultimately wanna do with the boat.
I don't want to be getting spanked by Lil Rick and claim its cause I was an inch or two out of specs. LOL! Besides I figure I might as well make the POS look nice while I am at it.
Here is a question...
I was thinking of pretty much doing the "works" to the inside of my pump, polishing it removing all the rough edges, flowing the bowl, is or has any one hard anodized their pumps? I am just curious cause the money involved in the work, would it be good to protect that kind of investment. Seriuosly, all the money I will have in my pump will probably be labor aside from the initial cost of the "Factory" housing. This way my pump will stay with the CJ Rules.
Also, I noticed in Brads post about the APBA rules and a commitee on the rules and guidelines, this is something we should be doing ourselves. We should contact Ross over at APBA and have him set us up as this commitee since no one else is doing it. Maybe try and get someone from Berkley and American Turbine to chime in as well. Lets face it, they manufacture these parts and it can only be good for their business to be involved and give direct support to those that are willing to race with their parts.
I have contacts already with a few of these people in the industry and will run these ideas past them and see how they feel about contributing on knowledge and guidelines for some sort of standards here.
Oh yeah, I think your security guard was asleep at the door when I came in too... Cause the other websites about JetBoats won't let me in thats for sure.

So if I was looking for sponsorship for my CJ project is this where I would check in at? LOL!
Seriously thou, I do have a modifed V-hull which is a copy of the hornet bottom on a 19' Hawaiin Bubble Deck. I am thinking of removing the intake I just set and actually setting it back as far as I can. I figure I might as well do everything I can at this point and not have any regrets later or reason that the boat doesn't perform as I want it to.

Topock / Laughlin / Re: Needles
« on: December 10, 2006, 11:13:29 PM »Needles is my favorite section of the river.You can launch anywhere from Big Bend state park[lower Laughlin] to Park Moabi and there are many beaches to hang at. Especially Grass Beach. It's on Indain land and nobody charges you or stops you from partying! Budlight. I didn't see any Grass at that beach,or Indains.I saw a rock that had the profile of hallet dave(rivertard). /quote]
Whats up tard?
Did you hide HalletDave somewhere?
