Thinking about buying a 2014 nitro this year with a factory turbo kit. I coming off a 2009 skidoo summit with a 154 track. The group I ride with like to tree ride a lot don't know if it would be able to hang with anymore. any thoughts on switching to a four stroke turboed ?
2014 nytro
- Thread starter jlroth
- Start date
Actually the Nytro has no changes from 13' to 14'. The Viper is a Cat chassis with a Yami motor. They only offer the Viper in a trail and crossover chassis.
To the original question, the Nytro can do very well in the trees. You just need to remember you will have to work a little harder with the added weight. The turbo would make it easier.

about 6 pounds boost = 180 hp
Dont know about the Nytro motor, but i ran into a guy a few years back with an RX1 turbo and he had 20,000 on it, never touched the motor, and that day was having his first issue, clutches were worn out, still ran good though.
I havent seen a single complaint about the push yet, so I image a majority of the customers are happy with them.

On another forum site one or two people have blown motors when running the push kit. It probably is coincidental just know the limits at sea level.

What I've been able to gather about the Push kit:
- Low boost and pretty much as turn key as you can get on a boosted sled.
- The Nytro engine accepts boost well and engine life isn't an issue. If the engine life is less than natural aspiration, it still has far more longevity than any Ski-Doo 2 stroke. 10,000 miles plus should be expected.
- Feels like more than 180 h.p.
- Haven't heard or read any complaints about the Push 180 kit. The only problem I have heard is that once you have 180 h.p., you tend to want more. Boost tends to be addictive.
If it were me, I'd be torn between a Nytro and the new Viper. The Viper should be lighter with better ergonomics/handling, but I don't like the idea of buying a sled in the first few years of production. Let them work the bugs out of it for a few years.
I haven't heard if they will offer the Viper with a warrantied boost kit and it won't be available with any track longer than 144 from the factory next year. Not the best track length for the steep and deep.
As far as working in the trees goes, the Nytro engine has tons of grunt down low, so getting power down to the track before the turbo spools up isn't an issue.
