Not Average Joe Boost review

[couch]

No one has ever blown a motor from the amount of gas in the line at a 3 way pump… vastly overthinking it.

And any decent station has inline filters/water separators. The chance of getting “bad gas” from a high volume, premium brand station is extremely small.

I owned a gas station for years, went through a few b-trains per week and never poured 1 bad tank or had 1 legit complaint of fuel quality. Only legit gas beef is that it doesn’t last as long as it used to…but that’s only a problem at the consumer level, as it’s never at the station long enough to even remotely be an issue.

Have had bad diesel from the truck ...not a station but 3000/5000 litres a week at times ...
Can happy but not likely ....
Btw it's a good practice to tap the nozzle while pointed down before fueliy ...have seen lots of snow and crap in the nozzles

Just to clear one thing up. I have a Boost coming (supposedly) and will not be running any sort of higher octane gas in it unless I decide I need to do some kind of bottom end build (eg, build the sled for better bottom end with a head/flash swap) which I highly doubt I'll attempt. New career + life is busier = I don't want to play pretend "monster-garage" anymore.

The sled is designed around 91 non-eth. It will run that stuff just fine. a hose-worth of 85 isn't going to effect **** (I can do the basic math if you want, but it'd reduce the octane by 0.01% or something)

Only disclaimer, if you have ethanol in the fuel, maybe some race/AV would be a good idea, but then again ethanol sucks because it leans out the fuel (and attracts water) not because it is somehow "lower octane" (there is less net energy in a gallon of ethanol fuel than ethanol free fuel - hence "leaner")

Do you know where the valve to switch is on these pumps? They are not all at the pump as you think been there done that. Run whatever you want the sled only cost 20000. Then bitch about why it has issues.

No one has boost numbers on this sled ?? Hard to believe is first week of January. IMO a pump gas turbo for the public is going run slow compared to a tuned one. Listen to burandts sled his sound way different than than any other videos I’ve have heard.


It would be interesting to know how many pump gas boosts got sold to people that have never worked on a carb in the back country.

Burandts got a diamond S can on his boost.

Also whats a carb in the backcountry have to do with a boost? ? half the people riding boosts weren’t even old enough to ride back in 06 when carbs were still a thing.

Theres close to a gallon if its one of the long hoses for your reference.

Running and tuning a carb sled gives you great experience on lean and rich. Well then half the people have never run a lean and mean sled that outruns everyone it encountered. The production sleds never get the good tune vs demos.

Jetting wasn't rocket science. Lean it down until you burnt down and go up one jet

It would be interesting to find out what Poo Boost has for timing control..
Can it test the fuel octane at start-up?
Can it pull timing if it detects detonation?
Answer yes to those questions then there is no real worry about octane

What good does that do a guy on a FI sled with no A/F ratio adjuments ? Most of us haven't driven a car with manual timing advance on the steering wheel either....yet somehow I still made it to work today LOL

I didn't realize a gallon could be in the hose (and still doubt that). Where I fill up, the ethanol free hose is its own hose anyway. Regardless, in an absolute worst case I could end up with 90.5 octane in my tank. Knowing how the system is designed, it will likely be totally fine.

1) Testing octane at start up? HuH? I've never heard of this. You do realize how octane testing works, right? (the various standards, and how difficult it'd be to do something like this "at startup")
2) Yes, it can pull timing (and does).
3) I'd wager there is also boost control involved as the sled begins to detect detonation (wastegate will open to reduce boost)

You guys need to figure this out. The 165 boost is here so I'm going sledding this weekend. I need to know what to put in it.

 

[RBalazs]

Just try offroad-Diesel and report back[emoji1787] You know thats what [mention]Chadly [/mention] runs. Tax free baby!

Will that get rid of the lag? It's my buddy's anyways. Rental. He just happens to be too busy on the ranch so i hate to see it sit there.

 

[RBalazs]

Oh, I bet. And it will puff black smoke when the turbos dumping, should be pretty rad[emoji1598][emoji1598] Bio diesel might be a good option too, if wanna smell french fries while shredding the pow[emoji12]

If the display lights up in red that means it’s just cleaning the filter.

19,800 165 boost pro with electric start.
Basic shocks.

Put some cabin gas in her my buddy did that and his sled his still in the shop waiting to see who’s gonna pay for damages ??

Seems more guys run AV gas or race gas than additive. Why is that?

I have a high compression built Harley(worlds most efficient motor for converting gasoline to noise without the nasty byproduct of horse power) that will putt around on 91 but is not happy about it. Have a couple stations here that sell 100 octane that is fine. But on trips I run Klotz octane booster in it. Easy enough to bring a gallon with me and mix in each tank.

Just for ease of transport and taking on a trip Id think the additive route(bought or home brew) would be much easier. Although the $ math seems to favor either AV or race gas over additive. That the reason? Or is the additive route not as effective in a 2 stroke snowmobile motor? Would think octane is octane?

You guys high jacked my thread lol I rode today in 3 feet of fresh. Sled only made it 29 miles before it ran out of gas. CEL comes on and it says low fuel pump pressure. The other turbo Matryx in my group didn't make it but 15 minutes later and ran out of gas. I would say these are the least efficient turbos I have seen. That being said the sled is now out of break in and is an absolute animal on what it can make it through. Today was a day I wouldn't even take the lightest NA over a turbo. It was a once every three years type of day. And best day ever was brought up multiple times in the group. As heavy as the sled is, the throttle response now and the power on pump gas is very impressive. Now if my 155 NA would just show up ?

A pic for good measure

If your not sure what to put in it I'll swap it for my boost, then you will have lots of time to research fuel requirements waiting for mine to arrive. lol...

Additives are snake oil. Ive ran torco before. 1 can was supposed to bring it to 104. My 09 cat turbo would hit det at Cooke at 9 or 10000 ft. At 9 pounds. Put 2 gallons of av in pump fuel and good all day.
