Has this been done and how would the install be for fit and finish? Does anyone no how much hp this engine would put out for this application? I know as a watercraft it has 155 hp, but you lose 30% because of the jet pump. Thanks for any info!!:face-icon-small-hap

I know a friend of 1200psi's had a whole get up sitting for sale at Haydays.

Motor, carbs, engine plate, pipes, etc. etc. ready to drop into an IQR. I want to say he was asking $5,000, but maybe I should say 6? Anyhow, it had 1200's head cover on the motor, looks real nice. Not sure if the guy still has it all for sale.

Bottom line is .... Yes it can be done... and there are a handful of beautiful examples out there.

BUT... you are talking about peeling off some serious money... no way to do a "Budget" triple IQR.... Ponder on tearing off a minimum $6,000 to $9,000 PLUS the cost of the sled PLUS the cost of the sled mods besides the motor. (Front and rear suspensions/shocks, track, Tunnel, tank, seat, skis, cooling system etc)

It is not a matter of finding an inexpensive triple 1200 WC motor... buying a couple of hundred dollars worth of parts and bolting it in with an adapter plate....

I've seen some "Budget Build" attempts... but the end result was pretty cobbled together... Heck a good triple pipe setup will tear off $1500 when you are done...All custom fitted.

Best to go into the project with "Eyes wide open"... Know what you want the end result to be and how you want it to perform/handle... then build it on paper in reverse order... then start ordering parts.
