Kasza made a point in GP Runabout Class with his carbon FZR race boat. This race craft was super and we decided to contact Gyorgy in order to find some more information related to his race craft. Therefore, his engine is a big bore Yamaha with 88mm stroke and stock bore. He uses a complete valve train system (Cam, Buckets, springs, retainers, valves, etc) from Webcam and the ports (intake and exhaust) were ported and coated. The oem supercharger was ditched in favors to a Garrett 3582 GTX which was operating with 2 bar boost pressure. Among many of its home made parts Gyorgy uses a special homemade billet pump with an adjustable pump cone and a peculiar steering system. The oem ECU was replaced with a programmable MoTeC M130. He has not put the engine on a dyno get however in terms of performance it needs only 2.5sec for the 0-60mph. The complete hulL, i.e. bottom and deck i.e. well as the steering is made of carbon fiber in Hungary. Bottom weighs 40kg and topdeck 17kg. The engine was prepared by his mechanic Maci. Kasza’s official sponsors for the World Finals 2014 were: Jettrim, Jetpower Hungay, Sververnet and GymCity.

Force was present at the World Finals with an impressive booth and there were many test rides arranged through the Pro Weekend.

Riva will most probably be the US Distributor of Force KS-3 however the plans were not finalized officially yet. Soon there will an official press release from the French Manufacturer.

Jet ski lost by Japanese man during 2011 tsunami is returned after it washes ashore over 3,000 miles away in Hawaii. A jet ski lost by a man who lived in Fukushima, Japan, during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami washed ashore in the Johnston Atoll The Johnston Atoll is 700 miles southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii, and 3,300 miles from Fukushima. An intern doing a bird survey for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discovered the craft this past May. It was put on a ship bound for Japan on Sunday, and will arrive home to its owner on November 11. 'Getting something back, even if it can't be used, means a lot.'

R&D offers an industry first Water-Cooled Supercharger Housing System for the Yamaha SV Supercharger. The R&D SV Water-Cooled Supercharger Housing System is fully water jacketed to substantially reduce supercharger heat which will promote super stable and consistent horsepower. Heat is a derivative of super compressed air (boost). The more boost pressure, the hotter the supercharger gets while doing its work. One of the main keys in producing more horsepower and maximizing performance is managing heat. The R&D Housing will drastically drop the supercharger temperature a full 200 degrees! The R&D compressor housing design also incorporates a built-in Anti-Surge Port, a very important feature desperately needed on the SV Supercharger! The R&D Housing Kit installs in place of the OEM inducer housing and mounts directly to the OEM Supercharger body. R&D Water Cooled Housing Kits assembled with R&D’s “High Boost” Billet Monster Wheels have dominated in Hydro-drag competition setting quick ET and top speed records. No other package of housing/wheel parts combination puts out more horsepower than the R&D line. The R&D water jacketed housing features a High Performance Volute (intake air path), Internal Anti-Surge Port, 100% Water-Cooling and a custom R&D Power Plenum Air Filter that installs directly to the supercharger housing which will eliminate air restriction like no other filter setup can. System installs in 45 minutes and comes complete with all necessary hardware and pictorial instructions. The R&D SV Housing assembles and works with O.E.M. stock SV Yamaha wheels or any SV Series R&D Monster Wheel Kit. Performance Benefits: Overall supercharger temperatures are reduced a full 200° F which will promote significantly cooler and denser intake air charges, improved supercharger clutch and compressor wheel life with the built-in internal Anti-Surge Port, increased RPM’s (up to 200 rpm), increased boost pressures, and improved top speed performance.
