1200 Ski-Doo MCX Turbo

Lets ride our 800 for a couple more yrs. Brp gonna longtrack the 1200 e-tek. Well they better. Maybe put the seadoo motor with integrated supercharger in a mnt chassis.
 
driven more than a few 300mile duramaxes with out to many serious problems, injectors, injectors, but then cummins is having the same problem, just hope the fourstroke make it that many hours


lol... its off warranty lifted/chipped and no major problems besides normal wear n tear :)
 
There is a 1200 turbo sitting in Specialty Sled in Edmonton. It is black and orange, and everything that could be anodized orange is. I was drowling all over it on Thursday when I was pickuing up race fuel.
 
my POS duramax is idling outside in the -40 weather rite now and for the next 5days... mite explode!?!?!

anywho back on topic cant wait to head back south into specialty to get up close with this beast :)
 
Thats at sea level.

Just like the Nytros were 12lbs on pump fuel but at elevation you can run 14 to 15 lbs. 3 more lbs is 26 to 29 HP

Sorry just chimed in on rthis thread BUT some nytros out there can and do run up to 14-18 lbs on pump gas with only a head shim. been running my MCXpress nytro on 18 lbs on premium going on second year now. I know it's "unheard of" 18 lbs on a stock motor with pump gas but it can and has been done 1400km on it so far and we'll see how much longer. Not trying to start a fight but you can't go on "their" speculation sometimes we just gotta push the limits.
 
I see over on Doo talk they had a primary failure under boost. I heard that it was a heavier TRA on the new XR. What are the options for primary clutches ? Gotta love R&D.
 
sheriff, you and baker still planning on a after Christmas ride?? keep us posted.

I noticed you had those drums of avy gas marked with my name on them, did you do something special or add some special sauce to my fuel.lol

Talked to Baker last night & he is going after Xmas. I might getr a trip in during the holidays, but nothing planned yet...Any snow @ Middle? Dieter & me might get down there if you can arrange the Snow;)

Had 2 good days in Revy, came home yesterday morning as it was -14, Between riding 2 days & Zala's 2 nights it was time to go home.:D

Your av gas has the same magic ingredient as always.;) Different formulation for you than Jason, seeing that he has a Doo. You have the Yammi additive;)
If in doubt give it the taste test.:eek:

I heard this as well. Full Power Performance turbo kit. The 1200 4 stroke a new TRA 4 stock clutch and it is 1/2 the thickness of the TRA 5 and TRA 7 that is on the 1000 summit and 800 summits. Blew it into peices and bent the crank. They were running 210 HP. There are some pictures of the Clutch differences. It is alot thinner than the old style cluches. Will the drive train suffer the same demise? First the clutches have to hold up.
 
Ya but I wanna hear about Daryl's set-up with the MCXpress turbo on a long track. DJ's testing a trail banger XR with a different turbo on a short track.
 
The BRP 4 stroke isn't a Yamaha sled

I think people should sit on the sidelines for a while.

The 1200 Ski-doo is not like the yamaha sled where you could slap on a turbo and go. BRP doesn't have a mountain clutch and that's the first problem. You just can't run a motor that will burn a belt up in a second, hooked up to a clutch that needs tuning every 10 minites, in the mountains.

The problems for the flatlands might be solved by a thicker clutch, but the real test and market for your everyday turbo ride is in the mountains.

The BRP chain case oil is always black, but the oil in the Yamaha chaincase stays clear. Will the BRP chain case hold up, or does it wear too fast?

Let the flatlanders play with the 1200 Ski-doo Turbo for a while first. Remember 10,000 km on trails and lakes is only equal to about 200 km of the wear and tear a sled will see in the mountains.
Blowing a clutch like BJ did is like not even making it out of the parking lot around here.
 
Wait till your warranty is up on that duracrap,and YOU have to start fixin that mits motor.Those things are like bic lighters after a 100,000k ,get rid of em.


humm so my duramax with 400,000km or 248,000miles that has been problem free, worked hard every day and been chipped for 300,000km. sorry you must have ment to say powerjoke. you diss the duramax but have you ever drove/ own one? probably not. go back to your tree well.

I agree with you, on some of your quotes, but sometimes it sounds like you're barking mad :face-icon-small-ton. YDPC, you gotta be the top polimic guy on every forum ;)

It still has the same thin primary clutch. Mountain riders are just as hard if not harder on clutches as trail bangers, and the trail banger blew up the clutch. What does that tell you is going to happen to a heavily loaded XR clutch with a 163 long track. The trail banger was at 205 hp the MCX kit has 250 HP. BOOM! Daryl's sled is a trail banger with a XP tunnel and long track.

I do like the fact that MCX built a new intake pleneum with three velocity stacks and extra injectors, which will give better air flow distribution.
