- This is Episode 248 of Mike Finnegan's Garage and this time I'm getting my wife's twin-turbo LSX jet boat ready for a family vacation. The cooling system is a mess so I spent a day cutting, crimping and installing new hoses and then Kevin Smith from KSR came over to help water test the boat on my local lake. It went about as well as it always does but we did learn some valuable lessons. Once testing ended I decided to teach Kevin how to ride my old 1994 Yamaha Superjet stand-up personal watercraft. That turned out to be really fun and I think he may now be as addicted to riding the thing as I am. Hope you enjoy the vid! Thanks for watching and I'll see ya soon.

Thanks again for having me up!! I miiiiiight still be a little sore from the Jet Skis, but that just means that I need to ride more!!
That would be cool Kevin. Cheers mate and have a great summer.
KSR YOU ROCK THE DRAG WORLD GODSPEED PEACE
You know, ALL these years I thought that Freiburger was the weak link. Well..... I stand corrected. 🙄 It was Finnegan. It's ALWAYS been Finnegan. LOL A rock in a t-shirt. I guess content is content.
Keep up that character we love it great work guys
he's a bad influence kevin,get a sit down! your knees n balls will thank you.
KSR Always deserves a thumbs up !
KSR- Kevin Smith Racing
@@adamwinters4448 wow, thanks for that !! 🙄🤣

Only when he's not putting people into the wall 😂😂😂
The reason I like watching your channel and a few others is because you just don't show finish successes. You show the challenges and mistakes. To me that's what makes channels like this enjoyable to watch seeing those challenges overcoming those challenges documenting I'm not keeping them out of the view I think it's great
I really dig this channel! Im envious of the craft in Mike’s garage and appreciate his generosity to take the time to show techniques let alone the fun he has. You rock Buddy 🤘🏻
The Mike Finnegan commentary while Kevin was on the jet ski was exemplary. As MC Hammer would say, “he’s magic on the mic”.
The way he explains everything keeps you interested in the process. Very 👍 😊
Tommy u killing it on the vids. I from Central Illinois right on Indiana line. Scenes out in country and house makes me so homesick for spring. Can almost smell cut grass, corn fields, and flowers. Sure same reason other fans watch. I your dad's age. We all just like you boys and all your friends and Allison. Were raised right but played hard. Know it's lot of hard work and long nights. But appreciate u all. U don't have millions following u but I sure bet u have some of the best fans . Good luck this weekend and u all be safe. Can't wait to catch a event soon. 👍
When Mike and Kevin get together, it`s always a treat. Looks like you 2 had a blast. I`m 65 and would love to try that, never been on one, but I don`t heal fast anymore🤣
There’s 3 things I did where I had never been so sore. Learning to snowboard, (at 20) tubing behind a boat with a woman driving it, and learning to ride a stand up jet ski, even at like 15 years old. You use muscles you didn’t even know you had, and are reminded about 2 days later…. At 65 you’d be crippled for 2 week’s minimum
Your backwards plumbing job was still 50% better than some of the field work “plumbing” I come across in the commercial water heating business.
Damn... Now I see why you moved out there. Absolutely beautiful!! Beats anything on out here in AZ or Cali as far as water sports goes..
I appreciate situations like lack of pressure on the race fuel system. It's humbling. Nice to see KSR out on our lake!
My daughter was watching this with me and when Mike said, "is there anything he can't do?" My daughter speaks up, "Can he crochet???" 😀 So, Kevin, can you crochet??? 😁
😮 I am going to have to watch this at least ten times over because of how badass your boat is. Thanks for showcasing it
That’s my home lake. Those white polls aren’t marking rocks. Those are Chanel markers. If you turn right out of your cove and make the next left there is a jet ski slalom course and ski jumps up in the next cove. Love getting to see content on my home lake 😎
Mike I noticed you don’t have a copper hammer in the box. You need one. Worth every penny man. I’m sure if you mentioned it on the channel you’d get several sent to you.
It's funny how the little things always gets myself as well.,lol! I'm glad it was somthing simple,( on your regulator) & your fuel system. Thanks again brother👍👍
I Noticed you are running a AN reducer on the outlet of your water to air intercooler. i recommend removing that restrictor and try running a larger hose. should help lower the water pressure while still being able to flow the max amount of water through the intercooler
Great to see you and Kevin playing together
Your commentary on everything you do is just amazing , how you do it just just , I am speechless.
Hell yeah. Kevin did good. He’s a natural. Get that boat proper and give us another video. You got another subscriber.
I said it last summer and i'll say it again this summer.. i am 100% jealous of that big red speedboat. such a rad machine.
I enjoyed watching Mr. Pissing Excellence doing new things. Great job Kevin.
The Bob Ross of time cutting. "See this happy cut that lives right here?" Lol. Passion!
Love the vids!!
"Oh look who it is! He who wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence! Kevin Smith!" 😂😂😁😁🤟🤟
Love your channel and the projects you’ve chosen to share with us viewers.
These videos keep me company while I’m wrenching on a 60’ ya by on lake Travis in austin Tx
Grew up with a 16' white water racing hull with a jet drive. 455 Olds rocket N/A. To help with oil cooling we put a honeycomb style oil to water inner-cooler an a gate valve with two remote mounted filters. The gate valve regulated the velocity then a pressure valve to bring the lake pressure off the jet drive to standards of usable pressure. Before the pressure valve was installed we had some low quality oil filters explode an I remember being 15 an taking an oil shower after a full throttle pull.
Bought my first stand up because of one of your videos and just picked up my first jet boat today.
"Don't floor it now you'll blow your nuts off" Greatest line ever!
@ Tᥱᥣᥱgrᥲm mᥱ ᥆ᥒ👉@The_Finnegan_Garage scammer
The sound of a big engine running sweet makes my day
Finnegan, so glad you mounted the intercooler Reg down by the transom.
It looked funny at first with something that looked like it belonged on a torch bottle screwed into a $10k intake.
We’ll done guys
Kevin is a wheel man, not only for bank robberies…! 😂😂😂
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'. (too soon?)
the right tools are expensive but worth every dollar to make the job easier and cleaner and get it done right! The wife must be so happy with her boat right now...... can't wait to see her actually drive it 😂😂😂😂😂
A larger diameter outlet hose might reduce back pressure on the intercooler.
Yes, more volume is likely the best solution.
@@ronaldnielson8591 My point was a larger outlet could help reduce back pressure. Just a thought.
@@danielduteil7376 Ronald is agreeing. Higher volume means more flow means lower pressure. It's a good idea, as the regulator becomes the restrictor, instead of the outlet at some point.
Came here to see if someone said this.... The ports in the intercooler look pretty large. Probably that way for a reason
@@mikedmt I'm guessing that the inlet and outlet were stilled designed with the flow of a normal electric pump in mind, not high pressure/volume from the jet pump on the boat.
Willing to bet 99% of the guys watching this will never be able to afford that crimper and all required accessories. But it's nice to see u have one and know how to use it 😂 I'll let ya know when I need to borrow it thanks for learning me how to use it lol
Not a tool for a home gamer. I have to own a crimper for hydraulic lines, servicing our business' vehicles and equipment and the cost is even bigger than this set. The higher you go, the more blood you cough. Best to bring a wheelchair to the first internet search for stuff like this.
Afford it? Sure. Justify it, not so much.
Thank you Finnegan your RUclips channel has something for everyone.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo. look like the Flinstones paddeling da boat, LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kevin is the James Bond of the automotive world. He can do anything.
Mike, make sure your outlet plumbing is WAY bigger than supply, to help increase flow without pegging pressures.
Over the top is my favorite movie! Love the reference.
That crimping tool is niiiiiiiiice ! Thanks for uploading and all the best from your long time viewer from good ol´ germany!
Thanks for watching, Tim!
@@FinnegansGarage Does Freiburger watch these? I can see him now. 🤔
poor Kevin can't leave the house without a laptop. great episode at least he spent more time having fun then being a keyboard crusader.
Those Earls line system and tools lets you make a first class job!
Hey Mike, new shirt!!!!! “HE PISSES EXCELLENCE” , those of us who know, will know!!!!
Or He Pisses Excellence If I Have to Explain You Wouldn’t Understand
Holy crap, $3500 for that crimp tool plus $300 for each die? That is insane.
It's not meant for the home shop....
The maintenance shops I've worked in always had one, but we made enough hoses that our supplier provided the crimper and dies as long as we bought our hose and fittings from them. They didn't give us the crimper but leased it to us for $1.00 a year.
They are nice to have.
But if you pay to make as many hoses as he has made it hits a point where you might as well night the bullet and buy it your self and just have it
@@CooterTravenport Yeah, for the average home-gamer, this is next level but if you're Finnegan and have the collection of vehicles he has, I can imagine it become economical to do it yourself quite quickly.
Earls makes hose ends with an olive for that Ultra Pro line I've got a few on my car no special tools needed. It's really similar to the standard AN hose ends, but the end slides over the nylon, the olive screws into the end and just screw the whole thing together. You don't need to take out a loan to make this work lol.
Nice work Finn. Beautiful lake with beautiful people. Getting some bugs worked out and having some fun. Cheers mate.
I love how you mentioned its my wifes boat and taking the kids but its a race boat with two seats you guys need a family boat so you can all to water sports.
I was admiring you neighbors boat docks. Mr. Finnegan, I have that connection. I have a friend that builds them. If you ever are interested in your own, I’d like to send you his way. They ship all over the world.
Finn I got my van up and going waiting for dupray Carmen super Inox they hooked me up.. will have unboxing soon. Ty for the inspiration.. ksr too ty❤

Flintstone Marine... Their motto is "We'll be there when we get there!"
Kevin is such a good dude a very
talented with all
types of motorized
vehicle. He done
good with the
Jetski. If it was me
doing it,It would have been a flop
fest
12:29 Merry Christmas, Shitter's Full ! Sweet poster Mike 😂
being an old jet boater myself, put cheap house style gate valves from the pump, as a primary control, then to your regulators.....or preasure gauge , simple and works
Barney Rubble using a Bouler now, HAHAHA.😂😂😂😂😂
When you're tweaking for an extra mile an hour, cooling is paramount in reducing the effect of heating on metals. The metal density is really what you are tweaking on at this point. To keep the expansion under control and increase the Pressure.
I did the pressure testing for BIC years ago, I hope your regulating your water pressure on the outlet side of your intercooler. Could be allowing it to run low on water causing fluctuating water temps.
OMG this boat is so sick! You guys kick ass!!!!!!!!!
I love how all this work is done to achieve 3 more mph
Looks like you two had a great time , and discovered the fuel issue. Thanks for the video.
The physics of jet skiing sounds a little like mountain sledding, which is also insanely fun.
Yeah the boat is sounding awesome Yep we’re here watching
Thanks Mike, awesome time for an awesome video.
Another great jet boat video!
I use the earls pro 350 hose on my stealth and found it’s easy and clean to cut the hose with a set of the craftsman straight blade hose cutters
Good thing that JETAWAY II is patented, wouldn't want copies of such a superior design "floating" around!!
I have a 2007 Kawi 800. Love that thing sooooo much!
Kevin is the man ! 💪
Cletus is ready to race you😂❤ badass boat buddy love it Kevin can do anything 🙏💪🇱🇷
I have inherited a few jet boat hulls, and a Hydrostream from my father who passed back in Augest. Once i get these things figured out, maybe ill see you out there!
Also if ur doing alot of plumbing with plastic pvc etc. I recommend getting the black tubing cutters from any hardware or plumbing store. Not the ratcheting type just the hand cutters
"117mph with me in it.". Lmao I hope someone is inside controlling something going that fast 😂
I just watched a commercial for Earls without really thinking it was an commercial....lol
And wahla. 6,000 dollars later you have a hose....with a fitting on it.👍
$3500 for the crimping tool and $300 each die.. crazy
The channel has gone from the cool/crazy dude down the road to... the boutique shop on the other side of town. Wishing Finn all the success, but my eyes glaze over watching some of this.
@@bdockettfrom the days of Roadkill-ing a 440 out of an RV to hey just picked up another $30k+ engine etc.
@@bdockett Where does he get his income from? RUclips? Damn I work in oil and gas make a good living but this inflation is killing me. I literally paid almost 50 bucks to make tacos last night. Wtf!! This guy drop $$$$ daily lol. I'm a fan of Finnegan actually met him. I don't live far from him either. Baffles me
No job, endless cash = trust fund baby.
I wouldn't worry so much about trying to restrict the incoming flow of water so much, make sure the discharge water outlets are oversized vs the intakes. Let whatever size hose you run from the jet drive, to the intercooler be your flow restriction. So if you run half inch to the intercooler, weld on a new bung (or two) that are way over 1/2 inch so they pose almost no resistance to the water flow coming out of the intercooler. That will give you great flow and cooling, and very low actual water pressure in the core.
If you use the ptfe roll backwards, you can get way more tension on the wrap. Try it, you may enjoy.
Nice another episode of my favorite infomercial...
Mike, you should name the boat "dial-up", cuz that's what the turbos sound like on the video.
I have a 19' scarab sprint with a 446 cubic inch lsx topped off with a 4.9 kenne bell liquid cooled. Its a pretty fun little sleeper of a boat.
LOL @ Jetslis.... try to ride a Wetbike! My friends asked me never to bring it on vacation at the Colorado River again. I picked it up pretty easy but it still broke a couple of my ribs riding/crashing it in rough water at Lake Elsinore. It was stolen so I moved on to boats again. BTW I grew up about 1/2 mile from Eliminator's first shop in Huntington Park and knew Bob when I was a teenager and he first started the business in an old gas station shop on State St.. I have always wanted a Daytona since he made the first one but never bought one. I have a 15' outboard Tunnel retired race boat from Florida now... looks like a mini Daytona. I love "your wife's boat"!
Should bring that boat to Missouri for the boat races in September 💪🏽
I've ALWAYS wanted to try a stand up ski. I've riden regular skis and surfed and wakeskated but always wanted to ride a stand up
Guys-Guys.. A rookie also would have left the PLUG ashore.
Best to you Scott 🏁
E85 will definitely help. Even being injected into the intake runners will still cool the charge air a bit and more importantly ethanol is a more stable fuel than petrol so even if it didn’t affect the air temp you could add more timing anyway. Also putting a larger exit on the inter cooler should reduce the pressure inside it, that way you get to keep all the flow into the core
I also wonder if the 90 degree fitting on the outlet of the intercooler is also restricting flow
He's running in water, why not run air-to-water charge coolers?
Lookin forward to seeing my favorite boat; the Caddy. Lol
you need a water to oil heat exchanghr to cool the turbo's and duct the intake outside the hull. Holman and Moody did this in the 60's
Thanks for dropping the knowledge Fin! I feel privileged to share the name of the man that pissed excellence all over your lake. 😂😂😂
Twin Turbo LS is ridiculous.
Keep up the good work hahahaha
Clear example of one those legitimate "Excess is best"
Keep on keeping on. Glorious full tilt noise & they look a million bucks on the water
2 thumbs up!!!
Mr Finnegan...you got an imposter/scammer?
Every plumber cringing at your teflon tape technique.
Could be wrong but my guess would be, the intercooler needs more flow, not pressure.
Is there a restriction somewhere that can be removed?
Feed as much water as you can to the cooler and focus on lowering the pressure by removing restrictions... Maybe..
As I get older, i appreciate quiet vehicles more. Especially when you can get the same outcome.
Finnegan and KSR make a great team!
Love the boats. Data is so valuable.
i don't care about boats but at least you're not opening mail.......
No fuckin' doubt.
Leg paddling funny! Yes, Sir.
Disturbed Peace... Good name for a boat 👍🏾
Loves those collabs videos with Kevin at KSR
Absolutely insane, nice work and good content. Very fun to watch. Regards from Germany!
KSR FTW!
Love all your content...especially the boats. I just sold my 40 year old Kustom Kraft TX20...Twin turbo Gale Banks BBC. Had lots of fun with it. I'm now retired and 83. One question has always been on my mind. They told me to always be in the water to run it. When I'm working on it that really inconvenient. I've seen snippets of a disconnect but never put it together. The shot of your Eliminator cleared that up. I saw the name (Jetaway) and looked it up. I would have loved to know that years ago. Nobody ever explained things to me so I'm trying to give the new guy a break. Would yo do a couple of things to help? A video explaining the Jetaway and how it's used and installed. Also, would love for you to do a deep dive on your control box and system. Lots there to learn. Thank you.
I'm yelling "did you install the regulator backwards?!?!" at my screen for at least five minutes. I think I was almost as relieved when you figured it out as you were.
Cool to see J Low is still around
I use to love to ride jet skis when I was a kid or should I say in my teens.. we had Kawasaki’s
On lake Cumberland ky!
13:38 dial calipers that have a channel for clearing the ridges on the crimp to measure correctly.
