Shocks, Alt Imp A-arms, and Alt Imp rear suspsension that's underway Won't be hard, but will be expensive.
Won't be this guy! Im being bugged for a ring, a house, a wedding. But what I need first is a truck, a trailer, suspension stuff. Not to mention the biggest thing, I still need to remember how to ride
As you can see, I need to remove a few things from things from the list. And after those are gone, then the sled will be in order.
get rid of the wife and looks like the sled is a done deal..just saying...Shocks, Alt Imp A-arms, and Alt Imp rear suspsension that's underway Won't be hard, but will be expensive.

This advice also got me a new 2012 GMC 2500HD on order!
Thats what i was wondering..... But your weight to hp just increased by ALOT....
all it takes is a whole bunch of money....right off the bat make the pipe and downpipe from titanium, do it all the time with the bikes and turbo racecars, then all titanium gun drilled bolts,aluminium aircraft heims ect ect ect....just like a racecar it gets insane spendy at a certain point.
hey outlaw
would'nt you minus all the stuff not used with turbo kit ?
like muffler,etc..
thanks g

Did you guys see the rmx pro in Snowest built by Donavon Facey?
Titanium front end, titanium rear skid, lighter shocks, Ti clutch springs,

Granted they added a belt drive but it is possible to get below 400 to ride. If you went lightweight panels you'd be right there.

You can get a non turbo 2013 pro under 400 dry weight quite easy but a turbo adds weight.
Hps can -6.8
Head lt -3.0
Foam -1
Swaybar -1
Windshield -1
Snow flap taillight -1
Skinz freeride seat -2.5 lighter than the 2013 seat
Fox floats front -2
Fox floats rear -3.5
Remove clam shell on stock pipe and ceramic coat -2
Titanium arms -4.5 lighter than the 13 arms.
Titanium rear arms to be determined?
Gut the upper air box -.5

Yea... but then you have to deduct the weight of the stuff that is removed to install the Turbo... like the silencer, airbox etc.
With some goodies like ligher arms, Ti springs, Diamond S hood, etc... a 400 lb turbo sled is within reach without getting too exotic IMO.
.
If you run an Aerocharger turbo... no extra oil tank or fluid weight from that oil.
Depends on that system.
I'd like to see an option from Boondockers that offered an Aerocharger turbo choice in the kit... they would not have to add the complexity or fab costs of the oil tank/pump/oil to the cost of the system... this would offset the cost difference of the Garret compared to the Aero. I would not have to worry about the weight of the oil support, the possibility of an oil system failure (which as been minimal at best with boondocker kits) ... and a super clean install with more flexible mount and clean air inlet options.
HMMM...
A 10 lb boosted, tunnel dumped, EBC controlled, Aerocharger equipped, torque builder intake equipped Boondocker turbo system... HOME RUN for me!

That would be a blast to ride! We recently pulled 30lbs off of one of the race sleds. Lightweight Turbine housing, No muffler, Thin walled pipes, cut here cut there………… Let us see what we can do for a production light weight kit. How about starting with a 600cc. Smaller air box and turbo!!

actually diamond s has several sleds on the snow with turbos that are less then 400lbs. he even tried to get me to buy one. he said i would let it go for 34.5k. i said to brad that i liked his stuff, just not that much.
