ebc?

[matt159]

I want to say again that it has not been a MAJOR issue for me, but it is surely a small annoyance.... The other instances were very short lived, and I had the lines clear in a matter of minutes.

I'm sure the lines are easy to clear, but I'm not sure I can do it before I hit the trees while sidehilling. Sounds like an expensive problem to have.

i love my EBC i can adjust boost quick and as it goes up in altitude it will keep my power the same , it is also nice to have a lcd screen showing you real time boost that is easy to read and last the push to pass its a nice addition but i dont use it to much

and for all the people worried about freezing lines its not that common i have had a EBC on my sled for three season mounted on my bars and left out side pulled on an open trailer and never once had a line freeze , dont know how it would even freeze mine is on the bars and only 2 maybe 3 inches of hose is out of the hood and it gets hot air blown in it from the charge tube .

Yeah... but you just ride trails from what I heard.

On a related note, why do you want to put any poon-bogger junk on your sled BCIL? Seems somewhat against your religion. Next thing you know, you will be running an inner-heater, and extra injectors....lol

Nah man... I'm "non denominational" but I don't see me switching THAT far!!!

Sounds like with the 12 you're stuck with the extra injectors either way though... sucks.

I've also been running the EBC for 3 years now and I never had a problem until last season. We rode in a lot deeper snow last year than we have in several years. The problems I've had seem to be when the snow is really deep and there is a lot of steam coming from the snow falling through the vents on the pipe. Usually under hard riding I don't have a problem but if I ride a long trail where the sled rarely comes on boost or if I stop and take a break then start out I have a problem. The 1/16" is why there's an issue. The line is small, cools fast and it only takes a drop of water to freeze and clog it. In my opinion the heat cycles of the line produce condensation in the line that freezes. Take it for what it worth.

Do you guys who are having trouble with your EBC icing up have any pics of how its plumbed? I didn't have a single issue with mine like that last year and my EBC is mounted on my bars as well.
