The R&D Engine Thermostat and Intercooler Cooling Kit is one stop shopping to solve several big issues with the OEM cooling system. Engine temperatures on a RXP 260 engine with performance upgrades can reach 190-195 degrees with the stock cooling system. The R&D Kit changes out the stock thermostat for a new cooler 160 degree thermostat. The R&D Kit also separates and re-routes the “intercooler out” and “engine out” water lines to allow less restriction and more water to flow through both the engines exhaust system and the intercooler which promotes cooler exhaust temperatures as well as reducing intake air temperatures. The R&D Kit also includes two new 1/2 inch water bypass fittings for the intercooler in and out lines, one to be used with the kit included high pressure relief valve, and one for the new intercooler water out line. The R&D “high pressure” relief valve will protect the intercooler from being broken due to high water pressure spikes. Cooler engine temperatures, cooler intake air temperatures, and cooler exhaust temperatures all add up to a noticeable RPM and top speed gain. Now available from R&D with Pt. # 663-15000 and a price set at $299.95.

The illustrated kit was revealed exclusively on www.jetskiworld.gr a year ago while the initial tests of the Sea-Doo RXP-X 2012-13 were carried out along with R&D’s crew. The R&D Engine Thermostat Kit is designed to lower the engine operating temperature. Engine temperatures on a Sea-Doo 260 engine with performance upgrades can reach 190-195 degrees with the stock cooling system. The R&D Kit changes out the stock thermostat for a new cooler 160 degree thermostat. Cooler engine temperature adds up to a noticeable RPM and top speed gain. Kit comes complete with installation tool. Available from R&D with Pt. # 663-15010 and its price set at $175.95.

The illustrated hood was shown on one of Hajime Isahai’s projects, a triple cylinder SX-R. According to Hajime the particular hood was designed and manufactured by a friend of his in Japan and the company is called CYBER.

The Weber plug & play kit comes with ECU, wiring harness and all components necessary for installation. The map file is configured for both the OEM and /or any aftermarket intercooler, and will offer a performance increase to approx 150 HP & more. You will be ready to start and run the package immediately. The supplied files are mapped up to 17psi, and higher pressure files are available upon request. The supplied files will perform perfectly at 7lbs if necessary. Superstock maps for 750, 800 & 850 kits will be available soon. The option for writing your own custom files is available with the optional O2 sensor install kit. Waterproof & shock resistant. Minimum 100 Octane fuel is required. Part Number: WEC-4 Available from WatCon for 1750 USD.

The R&D Boost Box for 2011-2013 Sea-Doo 260 offers a plug and play way to quickly and easily disconnect the engine management systems internal GPS speed limiter to allow an incredible five mile per hour top speed gain! The Sea-Doo 260 ECU has an internal acceleration governor and top speed governor that’s GPS controlled to only allow 67-68 mph. The GPS speed governor controls the throttle plate to modulate and restrict airflow into the intake plenum. The throttle plate modulation controls and limits the boost pressure to 7 pounds. The R&D Boost Box allows maximum boost pressure (10 PSI) to be reached by overriding the O.E.M. internal GPS speed control. With 3 pounds of boost pressure over stock settings this will allow the Sea-Doo 260 engine to accelerate better and pull harder in the upper mid range and top end with up to 5 mph speed gain. The R&D Boost Box is a vital and necessary key to unlocking and adding performance to the new Sea-Doo 260 engine platform. Whether you are a recreational enthusiasts or an offshore racers who is interested in more performance, the Boost Box is an absolute “Must Doo” Upgrade. The R&D Boost Box installs easily in 5 minutes. Part number: 803-01001 Available already from R&D.
