[d&mraceengines]

wheresthesnow i have a zx the one in the pic with a 780 tripple with jaws pipes and it really runs hard and pulls hard when i frist put it together had trouble getting enough air to it have lots of vents in the hood and it helps alot to get air to it it does run alot better with the hood off have you tried the hood off i used to run any wherer from 380 jets to 320 jets in the mikuni 38mm flat slides i now have 40 lectrons but dependong on elevation jetting should be close what are you running for ramps in your primary if you are runnig 145 or some thing it might not shift out i run a 286 ramp i have tried a 287 which i couldnt hold rpm in a climb with them but with yours beeing a 1000 it might pull a 287 ramp and then play with weight in pins i also run a solid pin with magnesium arms now but ran stock arms for along time with some where around 12 grams of weight is your engine a 780 or 809 base with aftermarket cylinders like price i have thought about doing a price 1080 becuase i want more power 240 to 250 hp would be nice and the skidoo base tripple weights 91 pounds and a 800 polaris twin weights 75 i wil take the extra 30 pounds with extra pipe and carb for the power of the tripple but a pull the rope and go less maintence stock twin is apealing some times but i just might be gettin old thanks guys have a great day dan

wheresthesnow I have a zx the one in the pic with a 780 tripple with jaws pipes and it really runs hard and pulls hard. When I first put it together had trouble getting enough air to it have lots of vents in the hood and it helps a lot to get air to it it does run alot better with the hood off. Have you tried the hood off? I used to run any wherer from 380 jets to 320 jets in the mikuni 38mm flat slides, i now have 40 lectrons but depending on elevation jetting should be close. What are you running for ramps in your primary? If you are running 145 or some thing it might not shift out. I run a 286 ramp, I have tried a 287 which I couldn't hold rpm in a climb with them, but with yours being a 1000 it might pull a 287 ramp and then play with weight in pins. I also run a solid pin with magnesium arms now but ran stock arms for a long time with some where around 12 grams of weight. Is your engine a 780 or 809 base with aftermarket cylinders like price? I have thought about doing a price 1080 because I want more power. 240 to 250 hp would be nice and the skidoo base triple weighs 91 pounds and a 800 polaris twin weights 75. I will take the extra 30 pounds with extra pipe and carb for the power of the triple, but a pull the rope and go, less maintenance stock twin is appealing some times. I just might be gettin old, thanks guys have a great day dan

Holy run-on sentence Batman!

hope this makes it a little easier to read.

I have ran a Price kit built by UBR racing since 2001. It is the best motor I have ever ran. Easy to tune. Easy on clutches. Belts last a year with a team clutch. It is in it's second chassis and on the first crank shaft. Don't want to count the miles and knock on wood every time I start it. I have never walked to the truck or been towed out.

I would have Fasttrax put a Price kit together with Doug Ruth porting. I run mine on pump and love it. Still have the race gas domes but really couldn't tell the difference in power.

i've debated, weighed my options, and i think ima take a triple for my genII build over a twin.. sucks I can only afford a 650 but still that motor has been known to rip with the right applications.. plus i just flat out love the soundof them triples.. if i could find anything bigger for 500 bucks i'd take it but my limited budget for the build has forced me into a 650..

Thinkin of hittin the big learning curve this summer... have always rode stock junk and let a shop "try" to keep it runnin. Last two years: 5 blown motors on 5 sleds (3 of em blew less than 50mi out of the shop!) 2 were ZRT600s. Out of those two I got a pretty good chassis built, so im thinkin instead of rebuilding the 600... I want to drop in a 900 T-cat triple, add a vanamburg tunnel w 161 and boss seat. Problem is... I have NO CLUE on rebuilding (never done it) so this summer... there will be a big learning curve. I hope when I put the thing on the snow this winter... I dont blow up #6!

There's lots of good info on here. I know a guy on another forum that has lots of experience building the AC triples. I will send you a link on PM.

once you go triple you never go back! Thats what's it like for me, twins til the Storm 800 with goodies from SLP. Now I´ve got a RMK 800 triple (XCR 800) 144", looks like sh*t and are not going very well right now. Exhaust valves f*cking with me. Just bought it for the engine. Going to do a Mod of it this summer, wont start as late as my edge-triple project last year..

Love the triples!

Thanks, mine is the 809 with Crank Shop cylinders and pipes. I havent tried it with the hood off, I should do that. It currently has 296 ramps I think, they may be 286. I have a set of CPC carbs for it but havent got around to putting them on.

I have learned alot off these forums, but this is the first time i have ever heard price motors mentioned. My buddy has a 1029 price tripple in an iq 440 chassis thats run off pump gas and that thing flat plane rips. I run a 925 big bore storm tripple on pump gas and he usually gets me by 1 1/2 sled lengths. One day soon ill have a price motor

Still have a similar MM.... with porting and some lightweight stuff. Its a back-up now but I still ride it a fair amount and other than the really steep and deep its still gives my new XP 163x a good run! On a shallow climb it will leave the XP behind.

WC 1200ves Edge.

Third picture below is from spring, finally got the hood on.
Black one is my WC 1050, and last 1050 engine bay.

Also have a 600cc FIII, 861cc Storm, 950cc CS Mach and a 1004cc Storm motor just for nostalgic reasons.

So, yes! Triples, big and small are out here!

 

[SnoPro1000]

that is sweet, i wish with the technology that they had today to built a sweet triple i know they can but the weight just isn't worth it,.. but build a light weigh carbon fiber chassis with a 215HP motor and it would be a killer!!!! it time for the Thundercat name to be used to it rightful nature a TRIPLE 1000! sled!!! lol
thanks alot for posting guys keep em coming if you have more

 

[krushelniski]

Work in progress

960cc started as 809cc
I can't comment on how well it works yet, hasn't been on the snow. I can say, pulling that pig over is like pulling over a V8 compared to my 800 twin
