Maybe. I guess you'll have to wait til this winter to find out
Boondocker kit for AXYS
- Thread starter M8Chris

Yes, I was merely stating that the price didn't actually drop any your just getting less with the base kit now.
But for conversation sake I'll bite.... First, not a low blow haha I have actually gotten into mainly ripping the trees lately anyway and having more fun at it. Second this spring I plan on snow checking an Axys but I am looking for a more affordable option, paying 25k for a sled and then 2 years later you can't get 10k for it is ridiculous.
I would love to ride the base kit and see how it goes, But you might be disappointed. I think your dreaming if your planning on 60-70hp out of 6psi with a disco potato, stock injectors, no intercooler on pump fuel. In reality I think 40hp is gonna be stretching it.
For 4 grand the only thing your really gaining is a little top end power and losing some reliability, throttle response, gaining some weight not sure its worth it.
I don't know though it might be a blast to ride and all a guy needs, but I always find myself wanting more haha
I thought mine was good last year then I rode EDavis's sled with the W/A intercooler and 11.5psi and didn't want to ride mine anymore I always hear "thats too much power for tree riding" ummmm thats what the throttles for dude you don't want it all don't put the throttle to the bars. Get into 3ft of powder or a big long pull or in a bad spot when you need it all clamp it to the bars and giggle in your helmet the whole time
Not sure where you got the 8600-8800rpm? The 8150-8250 is still the ideal RPM for power. Engines would be popping left and right if they were running 8800rpm.
The base is very similar to my first turbo, 6-8lbs depending on elevation. Very manageable power to get your feet wet in the turbo world and can be easily upgraded when ready. I ran a non-intercooler Tial GT on 8lbs and it was so snappy on the bottom, I almost want to go back for this year when snow isn't 3ft of fresh. At this point there was no bullydog or reflash and the box just worked fine. I think if properly setup, it will be that extra umpth to ditch your buddy's in the trees.
This year will be arm wrenching at 12lbs with the new engine. Looking forward to white rooms with white knuckles
Meh WTH you might as well have Erik build ya two while he's at it, one for marginal snow and the other for good snow
besides it will make a nice spare sled when I come out this year and wrap mine around a tree

you may be right, its hard to say until they come into market. I know there is a lot of the pro/vid riders, that's all they run is the base kit or what has been in the base kit in the past. What I am hearing from the guys that have rode it on the Axys is, that you wont need the big boost numbers with the new sled and new kit.
Maybe you are being a little harsh, and I am being a little optimistic. I was told it was a 7lb kit. Usually you can figure 8-10 hp, per lb of boost. That number came from before days of injectors and fuel controllers.
I love boost as much as anyone... used to be turn it up, turn it up. Someday you have to turn it down, and learn to ride better. I just don't feel the need for the 12-14 lb, white knuckle, nuts in my throat, Tasmanian Devil boost anymore...
Everyone wants something different. Boy, have I learned that this summer. Everyone wants their turbo sleds to react different, build boost different, clutch different, ext.... I think this will appeal to a 50-60-70% of people and the rest will think its worthless. Personal preference.
That's a hell of a noisy belt drive haha. Reminds me of a blown small block haha
Luckily there are also other options
For $1000 less than the "budget" kit you can get a standard kit which includes everything to run 10-12 pounds or pump gas. For $500 less that the "budget" pump gas kit you can get a full blown external wastegate kit and for $250 more you get an External kit with W/A intercooler.Options are great for the end user and their pocketbook

I believe that was the sled he knocked the intake off and sucked some debis through the turbo. Said it affected the bottom end performance, but figured it added some on the top end.
I know. Sounds far fetched, but ask him. He figured it was a piece of ice or snow that bent some of the impeller blades because it only damaged the cartridge on the turbo and didn't hurt the motor.
Just went out to the garage and tossed ice cubes down the Intake while the wife held it wide open. For some Reason my sled now sounds Like my lawn mower. Not a supercharged 800 twin. Wtf!!?
Here is another pic I found on the web tonight when checking out the Zollinger Racing Products website.
It's on a RUSH... but a different look all together... wondering if this is part of the new offering in the mountain segment also?

I saw that.. I was focused more on the intercooler, fresh air intake and side dump wastegate....
I can see it's some kind of a race machine... but are those parts in the upgrades?
No info from BD this season yet.
The details we are seeing from Silber and some others looks promising for this season though.
