boosted pro would be sweet! i actually see the 'jagged X' model being a realistic possibility since they did it with the rzr.
I know what i'm savin my pennies for lol



let's hear your comments and your opinions on which of these rumors will be true

also never posted a thread before so tell me if the link doesn't work

If all that comes true we are in for a treat.

I tell you if skidoo does a nice 1000 at 190hp in the current chassis and weight that would also be pretty sweet.

Really in todays world they all should just go 1000+ cc's and be done with it. Only adds maybe 5 pounds to the motor at most doing a big bore.

Factory turbo would be great but I dont think we will see it, just like bikes insurance steps in at some point, killed off all the factory turbo bikes and may do the same with sleds ??? Who knows.


Hey factories listen up !!!! Give us 425 pound sled with 200 real HP and great warrenty ....so easy to do

Is it even possible to run a turbo 2 stroke at 1000 feet or so? A factory turbo 2 stroke would have to have a lot of safeguards to keep it alive would it not? They just don't sound overly reliable.

A guy on here is running a silber turbo on a switchback with about 6lbs boost and a rk tek head on pump fuel. At 1500 ft, he said anymore would be super hard on you in the flats. So that would be a good set up stock then turn up the psi.

 

[Skeld]

Hmm. Is the fuel consumption outrageous with a turbo?

 

[mountainhorse]

The rumors on that site are the same speculation as the rumors on our forums.

They are rumors and speculation in the end and have no more insight than any of us.

It's fun to chat up the rumors nonetheless.

A factory offered Turbo would have to pass EPA... and on a two stroke.. not going to happen IMO.

A 1000 would radically change the dynamics of the PRO-RMK chassis... and would weigh considerably more the little 800 small block.

The fuel economy only changes when you get on the throttle otherwise it is virtually identical to stock. I ran mine skeld at 2000 feet and it ran well and the guy up in fort Mac went the rk tek route so he didn't have to run race fuel or av gas mix. Just easier to find fuel!

it all sounds like someones wet dreams

I really wish I would have had the resources to take a 14 test unit when it was offered. Would have made an interesting winter for me
