m 1000 pg vs rg
- Thread starter bigtxistu
- Start date
PG M1k is a waste of time. Go all the way or dont bother. Pm Smoothdawg, hes a good one to talk to on this one. He has a pg and is building an OVS rg
I had a CPC stage 3 M1000 for awhile. Running at 5.5 lbs it will stomp 8s running 12 lbs, with no discernable lag. I don't have a basis of comparison vs PG setups, but I don't see a need to run more boost than is possible on 91 octane, unless you're a major hillclimber.
Anyway, good luck. I'm calling a boosted M1000 the most fun boondocker around.

M1000 + Turbo > Pump gas
M1000+Turbo = Race gas
M1000+Turbo+Pump Gas=
M1000+Turbo = Race gas
M1000+Turbo+Pump Gas=
M1000 at high boost 16-18psi is in a league all by itself.I suppose you could turn it down but why. That would be like the guy with nitrous that never pushes the button.
Pump gas 1000s work great. I run 6lbs, seems about the same as an m8 at 12lbs with 50/50.I fuel mine up at the gas station with no race gas.75% duty cycle. For sale if you want it 09 m1000 bd pump gas 162,1100 mi $12000obo. send message if interested
Do you already own an M-1000, or will you be purchasing one to turbo? If you're going to be starting fresh, all-the-way-around, then I would consider riding style first and foremost in my decision process. If you are more of a tree banger, boondocker and a "sane man" hill climber kinda guy, then maybe a turbo 800 will be more to your liking. They are generally easier to tune, make good power, have some safety built in (DET sensor) and are generally easier to ride in the tight spots, while still providing plenty of grin power on the big hills. If, on the other hand you crave power/torque and love the "BIG STUFF" (chutes that have mountain goats quivering in their hoves) then a turbo 1000/1200 is for you.
Now with that said, I ran a pump/race gas kit M-1000 last year and found 8 to 9 pounds to be the sweet spot for me. I set it up to run clean down low....that took some work....and to run at 7600ish on a good pull. When all said and done, I was seeing approximately twice the track speed of a stock M-1000 with about the same running quality when off boost. This sled was the most fun of any sled I have ever owned when climbing bigger stuff in the deep powder. It also took the most work to get tuned and running right as well. This year I built a RG turbo M8.
This has been said many times by people with a lot more knowledge than I have...."turbos and pump gas don't belong in the same sentence." Can people make it work, Yes. Have they, yes. Are they on borrowed time, most likely. All it will take is a tank of bad pump gas or a time when you forget to turn down your boost when riding at lower elevations, and boom! Or more likely, you are getting tired of 5 pounds and want to push it just a little bit more on your nice new $20,000.00 dollor turbo M1000 and....BOOM!
To continue where Racinstation left off; M-1000 + 8/9 pounds of boost + 100LL =
Spend the the $$$$$ and get it right the first time. Then, continue to spend the $$$$$ to keep it right; that includes good fuel. JM2C

does the size of the turbo matter alot on the 1000/1200
does the turbo size matter alot? ive been told anything smaller then a 3071 will lead to constant struggle with tuning and runability? is this true?

Yes it dos matter a lot, it is a ballance between exhaust pressure and boost
The smallest garrett turbo that would work on a 1000 is a 3071 .82A/R
X2
Twisted has seen a lot better results out of the 3176.

I am running a 162 1000 with CPC turbo been running 8 to 9lb on 50/50. sled has had its problems mostly attitude hose leaksbut runs great now an a crap load of fun.
This was something I was noticing when I installed my turbo kit, the little nipple that the boost reference hose is supposed to go on is tiny and doesn't hold the hose very securely. I used some crazy glue and applied it around the outside of the little nipple and then slid the hose onto it, I've never had a problem with it and that hose isn't going anywhere now. Just make absolutely certain that you don't get any glue inside of the nipple or you will just plug it off and then your screwed. I applied the glue about 1 mm back from the tip of the boost nipple to make sure of this.
Hope this helps.
