Hi all,
So I'm looking to add a diverter the the WJ. Is it as simple as cutting off the extruding lip, then getting a conversion plate (4 bolt to 6 bolt)?
If so, who has the conversion plates? Thanks....

I run a diverter on my wj and i didnt have to cut any lip off of it, just bolted it on. I have heard of some people cutting it off for flow? maybe not sure. Mine bolts on directly.

ok so I reread what you wrote, why dont you just buy the diverter for a wj?

The berkley ones are cheaper and easier to get parts for and such. You're right though, should just fork out the money for one. Hoping to find a used one somewhere. How do you like the diverter?

Hmm, they're all expensive. Might as well get the one that's made for it unless you have a machine shop at your disposal. ;)
I was able to find a used one for mine, they're out there.

Jacuzzi WJ Kit
The WJ Jacuzzi is also a great pump, unfortunately because of the lack of aftermarket intrest there is an extremely limited amount of perfromance parts available. This energizer kit changes the internals to use an American Turbine / Berkeley / Dominator Style impeller, Bowl and nozzle assembly. This also allows the use of standard Place Diverter or Turbine Trim and a droop snoot if desired.

Thanks, but i have a freshly blueprinted pump, don't want to rip it open anytime soon.
Anyone with a used place diverter, please let me know. Thanks....

I turned the bowl down and cut off the nozzle before I put the ring on.
