1.8L Ribbon Delete, part numbers and information listed.

Screw it... I went ahead and ordered one. Shipping prices are steep from RIVA but whatcha gonna do

Boating season starts tomorrow so I might as well get some parts here before it gets too hot to even want to work on it

So far after installing mine, I just don't know if I can tell a difference yet. But I've only been out twice and had people with me so couldn't really self test properly. I do like that it feels like more hump out the hole tho. I'm getting close to 7700 RPM WOT. 7650 is normally consistent at WOT for me now. To be honest I have no idea what I was getting before as I guess I never paid attention. I thought it was around 7500 lol. I'm sure overtime I'll appreciate it more.

C'mon @FloJet , now you need to put it back in to give us a baseline!

But seriously, sounds about right, a 200RPM gain is typical.

ISLAND RACING had them in stock, and could have shipped them in a flat rate envelope. We usually stock the Worx because they are actually a few $ cheaper. but can get pretty much any companies ring.. and they ALL do the same thing.

Are you volunteering to do a group buy for us @ISLANDRACING ?

I could be interested in 3 of them.

The last time we ever tried to do a group buy for something, we got like 60 "yes's" and only 10 actual "buy's"..and 50 parts on the shelf. That was definately one of those "never again" times.
I will look into it a little more though and see if we buy a larger amount and get a better break we can pass along the savings.
Dont forget people, were talking about a 38$ part here. there isnt a whole lot of markup as it is.

I can totally understand all the extra aggravation fo a few bucks profit.
I have had plenty of people want me to do side mechanic work at home like simple oil changes on their cars and they dont understand i would have to charge them more than anyone else to even make 10 bucks and thats not worth it for the aggravation

Im counting a "possible" 8 so far.....

Sorry but i just ordered 2 for the boat. Gonna wait on my ski since its harder to do and i am quite happy with its performance right now

Didnt see them on your site. Or i would have ordered from u

 

[dan144k]

@ISLANDRACING
I would buy 2, if you have a list going

 

[haknslash]

RIVA sleeve showed up today! I'm hoping to find time to install it before I take the boat out again. Will report back on the differences.

There have been several successful group buys through this forum. Often the vendor does not order the items until all the orders are paid. Some delay in shipping is acceptable since we are getting a discount.

 

[fraserjr]

So for my boat, I would need 2? I was already interested in doing this mod, especially if we get a discount through a group buy. Otherwise I was just going to do the ribbon delete and ignore the sleeve.

 

[FloJet]

I would put the sleeve back in with the rubber. I believe it creates a tight seal. For $80 for both sleeves, I would do it for peace of mind of nothing going wrong later on. Just my honest opinion on that. But we all have our own taste.

I thought about doing that but figured for 35 a piece plus 7 bucks shipping it was worth it. I havent seen any result differences with or without sleeves.
I figured since it is after the throttle body its better not to disturb the air flow into the intake. Example ported heads flow better than non ported......just sayin'

We just added the AQUASPORT ring to our site: So far at 35$ these are the lowest price ones available. I installed one of these the other day in a SVHO that we're building and the quality is EXCELLENT. I will be placing a stocking order for these this coming week. We'll do an "APRIL Special" for JETBOATERS.NET members who are reading this post. Mention "RIBBON DELETE POST" when placing the order and well adjust the price to 32$ (Aquasport ring only ). Im trying here guys,,,, Maybe we'll sell a dozen then possibly be able to go get a 6-pack after work with the profit.

Yup thats the ones i got.

Are the sleeves for a 15 FZS svho different?

 

[Nick Hughes]

Just sent an order in for 2. Was going to remove the arestors anyways because I'm at 1600 feet of elevation and barely hit 7000 RPMs last season. Hope this helps break 50 MPH finally.
