CMX belt drive on HM turbo?

[Mr. Pump Gas]

I have 2013 SBA 800, 144 with HM turbo and curious if anyone running an HM has installed the CMX belt drive? How was the install and how is the fit? Any issues?

Also I live in Midwest and run about 50/50 backcountry/groomed trails, will this belt drive handle the turbo power in these conditions?

I have done it. If you want to pm me your email I can send you pics.

I am sure it fits as the kit is designed around the stock polaris belt drive. As well it won't have a problem handling the power, actually neither of my friends 13's have had a problem with the stock polaris belt drive and their HM turbos.

Big difference between stock and CMX belt drive there Danny.

And it fits without issue..???

Why would any turbo not fit with one belt drive system instead of another?

If a turbo can be installed around the stock belt drive, it can surely fit with an aftermarket.

And correct me if I'm wrong, I think Dangles was trying to say that if the STOCK belt drive can handle the turbo, so can the CMX. I think that's what he's trying to say, anyway.

Shane himself told me it probably wouldn't fit so it takes a little bit to make it happen. I was the first guy to ever build this setup. All the other belt drives out there are just as crappy as the polaris one. But they are easier to make work because they take up less room ex: C3. The belt drive on polaris is what it is but the driveshaft is a joke. Running a 3 inch track with a turbo I will take a CMX. Riding buddies broke driveshafts with a stock motor.

My point is there are some people that build these setups and test them like myself and then there is computer boondockers who read something somewhere and then start giving advice followed by I think and my cousins friends brother in law said, lol. I have emailed my pics to 4 different people and have visited with two of them on the phone. I enjoy helping people make wise decisions. There is a whole lot of junk out there these days and I hate seeing people get burned.

Yes I am a computer boondocker trying to give bad advice. Luckily I have a 12' HM turbo and needn't worry about belt drives.

But please do post your pictures up so we can see as in the future I may consider going that route. Then I could be the FIRSTEVER 12' pro HM turbo with a cmx belt drive...........
