Still have more tuning to do but, we are putting in the time and its paying off. This is the hardest pulling turbo sled I have ever ridden, 7psi feels like 12psi and all of that comes from the adjustability of the Aerocharger and the endless time put into the engineering of the most efficient kit on the market. We were playing around with many different fuel programs and you will be able to hear the difference between them. Also I wanted to add, if you are around the Montana area and would like to experience this kit yourself please contact brad at Aerocharger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBgBF6xdbE8
Here's some more pics and we do have some video of it on the snow just waiting for it to post on you tube.
A little of both, we are being pretty mean to the sled and seeing how far we can push it in order to give the customer the best running sled possible, the fuel controller from Dobeck Performance is the key. There will be alot more video to come but we believe in showing the good and the bad, in efforts to show everyone that a good running turbo sled isn't magic it takes dedication and a willingness to evolve with the rider. We want to sell honesty not turbo kits!!
Very impressive effort guys. About 50% of the 600 e-tech engines were lost during the 2010 Iron Dog race with some sort of crankshaft issue. Some speculated that since the direct injected engine removes fuel as a crankshaft cooling medium, that too much heat was to blame (very warm temperatures and a 50 mile run without snow). As a result, some of us are ceramic coating the top and bottom piston surfaces in an attempt to keep combustion heat from travelling down into the crankshaft/case. Because of this I figured that there was no way a direct injected two-stroke engine could handle a turbo. And here it has been done. So the questions: Are you guys coating the pistons? Jacking up the oil pump flow? Pumping fuel directly into the crankcase? Your efforts will give us all answers to the nuances of the direct injected two stroke engine and to what tuning extremes are out there. Fine work.
Cheers
I don't believe there is a standalone out there that would work with that sled. The Direct Inject by Evinrude operates at 55V the hardware for most standalone ECM will not be able to drive those injectors. Plus the coils have a driver built into them so the impedance of them has to be we within a certain tolerance otherwise "magic smoke". I think there may be a lot people trying this route but you are going to lose you warranty and any factory support right away.
One of the major factors in the standalone is you have to use the sensors they are configured to the ECM...$$$$$$$.
Yes i do believe you might see a longer life out of the crank if it was failing due to poor lubrication or heat. The fuel is now going to be traveling through the bottom end and new oil will be introduced. Like what Aerocharger said in previous posts.
This sled is an animal at 7 psi. Seemed like it would go up anything we pointed it up. Plus the fuel economy was pretty crazy...rode for 4 hours and still on fuel. I do know the gas gauges lie, so we might have burnt 4-5 gallons. Will not know till it is refill time. Currently it is running 60% race and 40% pump.
There was a 600 out there to but it has some issues so it won't be back on the snow til next weekend.
Hope this helps answer some questions.
Well we had some minor fuel issues. The way we are getting our boost reference wasn't working properly. I have to update to the newer box that we have on the 800 in the video and then it should work great.
When I was on the 600 this summer (june.. on snow) , I thought and still think it is an awesome sled. I currently ride a 09 XP 800R and I could climb just as high but at a much slower rate. I was creeping over the hills and the 600 was doing a wheelie. I can't wait to feel it at 7-10 pounds. I bet it will make me want to get 600 as well.
