The 2024 race season is underway, and for industry companies that sponsor racers or run race teams, a good deal of time and attention is focused on the racers, the tours, the race prep and the podiums. But that doesn’t mean that everything else slides. Take, for example, RIVA …
While their race efforts are shifting into high gear, and team racers like Eric Lagopoulos are pulling attention and eyes to race sites like the iconic Daytona this past weekend for the opening race of the P1 AquaX season, RIVA keeps right on plugging away behind the scenes, and last week, they introduced their new Sea-Doo 325 Intake Manifold Upgrade Kit for 2024 & newer RXT-X 325 & RXP-X 325 models.
This kit, available for $229.95, enables your engine to deliver more horsepower through a +1 lb increase in boost pressure.
Not only does the kit include the necessary parts, but it comes with a hole saw & aluminum cutting fixture to allow easy removal of the restrictive screen element from inside of the intake manifold.
After removing the screen element, the resulting opening is filled with a specifically designed, o-ringed, billet block-off plug that is included in the kit, and an integrated fitting allows for easy installation of blow-off valves, fuel pressure regulators & boost gauges.
RIVA also performed pre-release testing to ensure that the Sea-Doo 235 stock ECU will compensate for the increased boost provided by this new Intake Manifold Upgrade Kit, meaning that it will not be necessary for you to change ECU tuning after installing this upgrade kit. The kit includes a ⅛” NPT accessory port.
Installation is estimated to take approximately 3 hours, and will require a Fuel Disconnect Tool, which is available from RIVA, as well as some blue Loctite.
That’s not all, though! Last week, RIVA also announced that a new app and firmware update for Maptuner Nano that includes major improvements in sync speed, improved user interface for tablets, bugfixes and tweaks is now available.
In a final release of the week last week, a RIVA video talked about the advantages of the Intercooler Tubing Upgrade Kit for 325hp RXT & RXP models that includes a new integrated TiAL ‘QRJ’ Blow-Off Valve that replaces the smaller plastic factory ‘purge valve’, eliminating extra hoses and extending service life of supercharger clutch system, along with the upgraded high-strength silicone hoses that will not swell under pressure like the original soft rubber hoses, resulting in improved throttle response and reliability.
