1200 Ski-Doo MCX Turbo
- Thread starter Sheriff
- Start date
any thought on a way to get the turbo to suck fresh air?
if you built a box that the made the turbo draw air though the the inner cooler
and piped or ran flex tubing to the pipe side pannel or back into the space created by taking out the air box to vent to the top of the stearing panel,
would that strain the turbo?

Ditch that K&N, get perf aluminum one and get it out in the cold, the stock plastic's need some serious venting, its pretty enclosed and with that huffer in there you couldnt imagine the temps it will reach.
Ol' curved hat Baker knows what he's doing, he'll have that sh!t figured out before the first ride i would bet. Tough to give a farmer hat credit, but he's rediculously smart.

I even see a spot for a muffpot 
Darko, its going to be interesting how to get the fresh air into this, If that plastic support for the airbox/headlight assembly could be modified & remove the existing airbox perhaps that would work. Another thing that I was thinking after stopping there today is maybe you could plumb it directly into the existing primary airbox...Any ideas?
Maybe we need to get young "Flat Hat Darko" involved in the engineering of this air intake.
BTW the turbo is also supported other than by the Header, probably just can't see it in the pic's.
we need more pics cant wait to seen Sheriffs 174
here the 163 i am putting on my 1200
I got a 137 renagade 1200 4-tech cuz there cheaper and it will swap tunnels and tracks so it will have a 1200 turbo 163 with baker m-10
and a 137 800 xp x for spring riding and ditch banging

Right now there is just a head shim...we are only looking for a pump gas motor right now...250-260hp.
Soon there will be bigger & better (?)
Keep it comin, we love this thread 
MCX is saying it's a 240hp pump gas kit. Probably need a remap and better fuel to go to 250-260
I don't know if I would chance 15 on my Nytro on pump gas, I ran Av when I turned it up, cheap insurance. The box also needs to be mapped to run 15, if it's only mapped to 12. I suppose if you ran a knock box so you could be aware. It'll still put a big grin on at 12lbs anyway 4 strokes rock
4 strokes rockmake sure it works then make the rest resent they douted you!
oh and drink crown and never stop riding!

Maybe it makes more power than the Yamaha. It's a 1200 vs a 1049 so it's 15% bigger. I'll have to get a big-bore kit so I can keep up, LOL. 1049 is the biggest motor they can use in sno-cross, maybe Doo will make it smaller next year. Can't wait to see 'em lined up.

Baker does a sano job for sure, that rig looks super sweet, BUT, I doo see some future issues. The header design looks great, but with that kind of leverage, especially that far forward of the sleds's fulcrum, the weight of the turbo will reek havok on that header. Also, what was Doo thinking with exhaust forward design ?
The location of that turbo under the hood is a bad spot. She gets cooking red hot , and without extensive shrouding and heat shields with air flow, theres gonna be problems. Lots of exhaust pipes and turbo and header in the engine bay like that is going to add up to be a PILE of heat, So what use is it to put the intercooler under the hood too ? to collect heat ?? Darko makes good points with the intake, take it from a guy who has put countless hours and been sledding in every condition possible to design a cold air intake that actually WORKS.
I sure hope DOO has ironed out their belt and clutching issues with their sleds because adding a pile of hp and trqe isn't going to make things go better.
good luck guys, it's looking sweet so far, looking forward to seeing it work in the steep and deep.

Check out the close up pics. There is a support bracket on the turbo on the left side of the machine. As for clutching, thats all changed when the turbo is bolted on.
Yamaha patented the rear exit exhaust. Doo didn't really have much choice but to put it out front. Makes for an easier turbo install, though. The weight in front shouldn't really be any more noticeable than a front mount Apex. Should be on the snow soon enough, looking forward to the reports.
