anything else? what else?

[f7firecatkid]

hopefully a few days away from getting a 2012 m1100 turbo 153. what is done already:

td 4 stage
3" stainless side exit exhaust
alum charge tubes
arp head studs
2.5 ce track
anti stab kit
racewerx wrap
hyper shift kit
cover.

what else should i do? need skis and thinking the usi triple threat skis.

Your playin with fire at elevation on that TD4stage unless your just flatlanding it! Pretty sure its untested at elevation but definitely add the fan your gonna need that air to be pushed out of that heat cave!

the guys ran it out west with the td flash.

I think bikeman has been working with TD on the mountain area of the reflash.


Either way. I am wrapping my header and downpipe. I am hoping to get a turbo blanket as well. I think the key to making everything work better will be keeping the heat down under the hood.

Exactly on the heat I'm buying tennis shoes that are water proof knowing that all that heat is gonna be pushed out at the feet! TD doesn't show any interest in the mountain market have asked and not been answered. As soon as my warranty is over I'll be giving the benjamins too Evolution! Those cats have it going on!!

Any reflashes out west....

You are correct, there were guys that ran the td tune out here, but many who didn't understand that they wouldn't be getting 280 on the hill were very disappointed. I saw and preached this all last year and be damned if we are going to start the 2013 year the same. The unfulfilled hp promises are getting old.

To my knowledge there are 2 companies that specifically have high elevation compensating programming in their flashes and only one that has test time for the better part of last winter on an 1100, in the hills, and that's Evo' Big Chute kit. It's still on my sled. The value is oustanding and the performance is well documented in my videos on Evo's website. There is a lot of posts last winter that have good info on what you can expect from the stock turbo. You can have a 497.53hp tune for the lake but at 7000' that little stock turbo is dying at 21lbs and heat soaks itself in about 25 seconds of hard vertical attempts. At that elevation you are only gaining 3lbs of boost over stock. If you don't do a kit like the Big Chute that changes the turbo to match a mountain specific tune you can expect 210-215hp from any tune you can buy when leaving the turbo stock. The stock turbo limits anyone's tune.

I like that then:
Roll over valve module
Cold air intake of some kind
Would prefer silicon boost hoses, metal in the oven typically gets hot, then heats the air inside it. All bad.
And for that reason as much venting as possible.

nope, actualy bikeman and TD are no more friends, bikeman is using PCV now on 1100t.

Check out my post about the "HOT BOX" .

The Silicone hoses get hot too. . . . Really need to figure out a way to do water to air with minimal weight gain.

Yes Bikeman sells td I got mine from them,and they still sell it just. They also sell PVC as they did last.

Difference is the greater ability for metal to hold heat and the heat transfer from silicon is far less then from metal so still a better choice. Exhibit A...the oven mit lol.

I did see your new project. Looks great, as you know I cut out the whole center intercooler section of the hood on mine as well. It's a great project.

As far as WTA, Evo has been development for quite some time and early estimates are 6-7 lbs more than the stock set up. Performance gains are looking good, specially when you go over the 300hp level.

Yep, I have been watching them closely. I am pretty sure I will have the 215 tune in my ECU come this winter. . . I like the idea of WTA, I know that it needs a dedicated system and it all adds weight. Very interested to see what they have come up with to only add 6-7lbs. As a gallon of water will weigh that alone, without a pump, or a cooler. . . I would think that a more realistic number may be in the 20lbs range. If the front cooler in the tunnel was separate it would be a great option to use as the sled likely will stay cool without it. But sadly it is not. I was thinking about running board edge incorporated into a new rear bumper would be a good heat exchanger but I do not know that it would provide enough heat disapation.

 

[f7firecatkid]

so far what im thinking is light weight battery (what one? and where to get it?) usi skis, intercooler fan and turbo blanket. sled has racewerx front bumper and scratchers.

 

[JustBoostIt]

Front cooler

Weight of a WTA would be the net difference removing the factory cooler and such. Wont be any bigger and heavier than it has to be for sure.

There also is no reason that you couldn't use the front cooler. We added inlet/outlet pipe to the tunnel cooler on the cf m8. Don't even have the front cooler in there now. Now that would be a cool project and not that difficult if someone was changing their tunnel already. Having a TIG would be handy too.

 

[Turbo11T]

The intercooler itself is not going to add weight. Just that the system might need at the least a gallon of coolant. That's 8 lbs. a good pump would weigh a few lbs at the least. Then you have hoses. It would be a lot of work to split the tunnel cooler on the proclimb. But would be the way to do it to keep the weight gain low.

 

[JustBoostIt]

Ahh, splitting the cooler ain't that bad lol. Besides, it's summer, we have nothing to do anyway right?

Haha, Ask my whife she may disagree with you. . . haha

 

[f7firecatkid]

has anyone replaced the trihub with a regular axle w/8 or 9" wheels? would it be better if so what axle?

thanks
