Stage 1 Performance Overview This kit delivers a significant level of performance (+5mph on U.S. models) through easily installed electronic, air intake and pump components. No internal engine modifications are required. RIVA Performance Power Filter is installed. Power Filter Kit draws cold air from outside your engine compartment delivering awesome performance and eliminating power-robbing heat intake. Air intake is separated from hot engine compartment with rigid thermal bulkhead that installs between engine & fuel tank. Cold air is delivered to engine via large 4” smooth-bore ducting that is attached to supercharger with unique velocity stack and sturdy billet clamps. RIVA Speed Control Override Module is installed. Module removes the restrictive GPS controlled speed limits (67mph US/72mph International) on Sea-Doo iControl models allowing top speed to exceed factory settings. This is the "gateway part"" necessary for all modifications that utilize stock ECU. RIVA Catch Can/Engine Breather Upgrade Kit is installed. Easy to install catch can/oil breather eliminates power-robbing crankcase fumes and oil vapor from your engine's air intake. Increases horsepower by removing the engine's requirement to burn relatively non-combustible oil. Also improves intercooler efficiency by preventing the oil sludge coating that lowers thermal efficiency. Solas 'R'-Series Concord Impeller is a special performance impeller offered exclusively by RIVA and RIVA authorized dealers. This impeller is specifically pitched for our Stage 1 package using a pitch block to ensure accuracy. Billet impeller cone is included. NOTE: Sea•Doo and RIVA both strongly recommend the use of premium octane (91+) pump fuel in your craft. NOTE: RIVA Performance Kits intended for competition use only."
