This is the Ultra engine with the R&D Turbo kit that most people talked about during the World Finals without having seen it how it performed in the water… According to Chris MacClugage “Bill Chapin of R&D and Lee Manvel (the hull builder) have tested the ultra and had good results for an initial test at 10 pounds of boost pressure that showed a top speed of 76mph at 8.350rpm. “But this is only a start, since the supercharged edition was showed 76mph with 10 pounds so I think turbo has great potential. Remember the ignition is stock still!” MacClugage had said. We present exclusively the R&D Ultra Turbo kit under the Features Section.

This is sad news for the personal watercraft enthusiasts and all those racers that for 29 years visited Lake Havasu City. We found out just this morning (3/5/2011) that the big store of Walt’s in Havasu was going through some very serious issues due to the bad economy that has been affecting USA for years and especially at this moment (high fuel cost). Walt’s Motorsports has been supporting the pwc race community and especially foreign racers during the World Finals and every other International event for years. We had published a story on this particular pwc and motorcycle store in the past (read it on Features section) and we knew the people who worked there as well as Tony Beck who was running the business. Any kind of personal watercraft race or event will not be the same anymore in Havasu without Walt’s. We hope that we will soon see it coming back on its feet.

Riva Racing’s new Ultra 300 ride plate was designed to limit bow rise allowing the craft to drive through chop and corner like it's on rails. The plate is entirely redesigned from our Ultra 250/260 plate with a strong emphasis on rough water hook up and handling. Includes billet block-off for use when speedometer sender is removed. Key Features: Improves Hook up & Handling, Reduces Porpoising, Provides Quicker Planing, Integrated Reverse Gate Brackets, Powder Coated to Prevent Corrosion, Includes speedo sender block-off and it is IJSBA Race Legal. According to Riva Racing the revised Ultra ride plate will be available late April.

We had published exclusively some of the work that Steve Webster of Kommander Ind. Was doing during winter. He was working on triple Kawasaki projects with lots of work being done on the dyno and developing new hope up parts. He informed us a few hours ago about the participation of his Team at APBA’s Triple Crown Round One at Parker Az. And he sent us the very first pictures and information on his triple cylinder SX-R’s. Read all about it on the mini report under the Features section.

Recently we had published Teddy’s approach and project on building a three-cylinder S4 by placing a Kawasaki ZXi 1100 in it. Teddy, from Northern Europe informed us that due to better weather conditions he managed to test ride his project craft. He is pleased with the overall handling and speed which at this initial stage is up to 62mph. According to his estimation a longer impeller is needed as well as a fine tune adjustment to the carbs. Take a look on his project at those two videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXq3GNa-srk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8JQ6JivdCk&feature=related
