How Kawi Brings 310 BHP Out of a 1.5L Sportbike Engine
Can we just call this the Hellcat of Jet Skis? It needs a low-power key for the weak-willed, it’s got a blower, and it’s just about as irrational. What we’re talking about is the 310hp, 1,498cc four-banger in Kawasaki’s Ultra 310-series of Jet Skis. Known internally as the JT1500LHF (LHF probably stands for the first thing out of your mouth at full-tilt: “Like, holy f***!”), this water-cooled, DOHC, air-to-water-intercooled Jet Ski is electronically limited just under 70 mph, but with an Eaton TVS supercharger carrying a pulley that looks like it could be a few fractions of an inch smaller and a healthy aftermarket, we don’t think it’s an issue for those wanting a bit more insanity.
Starting with the company’s 210hp Ninja ZX-14R sportbike engine, Kawi strapped on a 2.0L, four-lobe TVS blower that feeds 16.8 psi of intercooled boost through a 60mm throttle-body. Inside, the water-jacketed cylinders are chrome-composite plated for durability and improved heat transfer. Those 1,498 cc’s come from a bore and stroke of 83×69.2mm, with twin oil squirters for each piston, and static compression comes in at 8.2:1.
