jskattum606.. he has the cool dashdaq thing on his new 6.4 powerstroke, you can do SO much on them, lots of options. they are really cool toys for toys with lots of electrical.

I want to see a 600 etech turbo kit, turbo boyz told me they would have a kit in 09, Im still waiting.

I would like to see a two stroke that can push 15-17 PSi on pump gas like a standalone impulse kit can do on a four stroke. No need to worry about splitting the tank then. The track speed screen would be awesome. Type in the # and away you go hehe. Maybe some aluminum throttlebody boots so no more delamination and some reeds that hold for 3000 hard miles. Set up a DashDaq. We can check codes while were riding if any arise and use it as a EBC also. Have the track speed screen in there too.

That is what we need for sure, to get Matt from Spartan involved then we could get crazy hp with just a tuner like on our 6.4l powerstrokes. Nothing like 310 extra hp to the ground and only having a tuner and a couple of exhaust parts. Can't wait to see what he has instore for the new 6.7 powerstroke.

I would love to see and have a turbo that did not need pistons and rings every 600-1000 miles and be a pull and go sled. I would think that if a person could figure out how to utilize the electronics on the E-tec there probably would not be many extra sensors to put on. Those things are already monitoring almost everything you would need for a turbo. It would just be a matter of getting the readings and having a control box of some sort adjust as needed. I don't like the idea of haveing a backup sled for when the turbo acts up. Mostly because who wants to ride their old junk after being on the new stuff, I know I don't. Now that means you have to have 2 new sleds, not really cost effective.

Also most definantly the ability to go back to stock fairly easy and have the sled not end up looking like a junker when you were done putting it back to stock, really helps sell the used one.

From what I understand you get better consitancy on race gas than you do on pump gas. So it is probably best to run some race gas all the time anyway. Unless you went ultra low compression the pump gas could be good. I have been told that Captian Kirk Williamson is doing that on his hillclimb mods sleds and getting more power than higher compression and race gas for his turbos.

Also make it as quiet as you can, don't like riding with ear plugs or coming back with a head ache. A good, get what you pay for to dollar ratio would be sweet as well, like gages, clutch parts, possible suspension upgrades if needed. Stuff that seems to get over looked in the horsepower game as incidentals.

Most of the sensors being used on the e-Tech along with the stock injectors do not allow the parameters to be changed to the degree needed for boost. It is not as simple as plugging in a fuel control box and adjusting from there. The engines are having problems in stock form and hopefully Ski-Doo gets those issues resolved before the production units. Ski-Doo is allowing the ecm to be unlocked and tweaked for any aftermarket parts to be added. At that time the warranty is voided completely and Ski-Doo will know about it and this takes it away from any dealers "working" with you on the added mods. It will be an up hill battle for sure.

They also said you could not mod our 6.4 powerstrokes. I guess those guys have been proved wrong. There is now a 345hp extra to the ground tune coming from Spartan, all with stock motor parts, probably a good idea to upgrade the tranny though. So the way I see it there will be a way to get it done.

Oh Its being done!!!

 

[tukernater]

Oh Its being done!!!

so can we turbo a e tec 800 now ? hp at what boost?

 

[sledhead_24_7]

Oh Its being done!!!

Right on
