Lets hear from happy MPI SC riders

[mtnxr]

I for one think the setup is great. I have had a couple issues that were handled by MPI very well. I ride with a couple other guys that have had very similar or even better luck with their setup and performance. I think these guys have a great product and for me the support has been there since I bought mine in February of 08.

luvin it

have struggled with clutching but am very close now. was over revving at the bottom to be able to hold 9000 while climbing. swapped seats for a couple pulls and races with an mc express turbo nitro last week and i am so glad i bought a sc instead. anyone who says there is no turbo lag has never jumped on one then the other. wow what a difference. pulled him by four lengths right off the bat 3 out of 3 races and held that lead to the top. setup snow conditions. thought i was jumping him every time so race 3 i actually waited till i saw him punch the throttle then punched mine. same result. what can i say, i love it alot. just need to put the nitro on a diet next year and wow what a sled that will be.

The THANKS goes to Heath, Mac and the rest of the crew at MPI.

This is my very first "Mod" sled, 2008 Nytro MTX.
(unless you consider putting triple pipes in a Viper a mod sled)

I purchased a MPI Stage I kit in June, installed it in December. (I deny being a procrastinator, even if it's true)
Probably took me 18 hours to install and that includes pre-reading the instructions three times and polishing all the cool aluminum parts.
After 20 years of military aerospace engineering I can honestly say that I have seen a lot of well designed and built parts. The MPI kit is well designed and well built.
I did not have ANY issues installing this and it was actually a lot of fun. Would build another one without hesitation.
I chose to copy the MCX clutching as a baseline to start with. Revs were 7,600-7,800. The snow in NW Montana at the end of December was deeep light powder, approx 48" or so (I also installed a 174 CE). This thing ran so good I didn't touch anything for about five rides. Instant power, all the time, nice. After that I decided to start on the clutching just because I know there is lots to gain. The motor never missed a beat, no matter how much powder was piled up on the hood or how hard you pushed it.
It took me a little bit to figure out the GEMS, but it is stupid simple once you understand it. I created an Excel spreadsheet with all the tuning modes and factory settings, kind of an abbreviated cheat sheet to carry on the sled for when I'm tempted to play with settings. I still do not have an A/F gauge (my bad) to tune the fuel delivery properly, but that gives me some fun tasks for next season. Other than setting the altitude comp, I have never needed to deviate from "factory" settings, it runs fine right out of the box.
So far I have over 1,050 boosted miles with no problems. I had a belt start showing a thread with 700 boosted miles (1,200 total miles), that's the only "maintenance" I have done since the install.

A BIG thanks to MPI for a great product....!!!
I would recommend this kit to anyone looking to move to the next level of boondocking in TIGHT trees. If I still lived in Spokane and rode in N. Idaho, I would probably do a stage II or a MCX turbo just because it's more open and there are some big hills that need climbing over there.

To contrast this I have a 2009 Polaris 800 RMK in the garage. Oh boy, I better not get started.

We have had great luck with the SC kits. We have done a bunch, mostly stage 2. Clutching, install, and fuel are keys. I would highly recommend a blow-off valve and the cold air intake. All in all a great kit with great results.

 

[mtnxr]

I would agree with the blowoff valve, I just put one in for the last 3 or 4 rides and it sure smoothes things out. I have not done the cold air intake on my apex cause I can't figure out how to plumb it so the filter is behind the windsheild. I did vent the side panels and hood though and definately helped in the deep snow.

It does take a little time to get the setup...but its well worth it!

07 Apex with a stage 1, I love it.
Perfect sled and power for my size.....
