nytro tunnel swap ?

[euge]

I have seen a lot of nice tunnels, and I have seen a few tunnels beforethey where installed. My question is, does it mount the same as traditional tunnels? they seem to be short as far as the depth into the bulkhead, anybody have pics of one apart? same procedure as all the other tunnel swaps? faster?

According to Mike V.A., this is the easiest tunnel swap he's ever done. Dont have to take the engine out...sounded pretty simple.

yes its very easy all the yammi 4s are the same you just remove the seat,tank,exaust,skid,track,chaincase & jackshaft they split under the tank nowere near as hard as the old 2s this is my vec ready for tunnel install the nytro attaches the same.

done about 1 1/2-2hour install.

nytro tunnel

the nytro is alot diff from all other sleds there is a plate that sandwiches the the tunnel with the bulkhead and they use five 5/16 bolt on each side and a few rivets and then a few more rivets just on the tunnel very easy. there is no need to even take the track or chain case out.

to have a tunnel installed, what is a fair price to pay for labour???

yes the hardest part is the removal of all the rivets its just time consuming,not hard at all.

What's the advantage?

The aftermarket tunnels are sweet as he!!, but what advantage would one give me over the stock tunnel? Probably a little weight savings and eliminate my current problem of the stock footrests killing my momentum as soon as they touch the snow? Anything else?
I put a few tunnels on MM's and Vipers, but the big advantage was the rolled chaincase.

As far as tunnels go I'm a firm believer in powder coating. A powder coated tunnel will carry much less snow than even a polished tunnel. Initially a powder coated tunnel will be a bit heavier but during the day overall when you factor in the snow load it will be lighter as it will pack a lot less snow. Again in my opinion if the new tunnel design isn't geared towards snow removal than it's of little benefit over a stock tunnel. It may have nicer running boards, look cooler, a different kick etc etc but in the end it still just a piece of .065 aluminum same as stock. On Yamahas most of the weight savings during a tunnel swap comes from losing the steel drop brackets, all the steel reinforcements and all the bolts and rivets they seem to love to use.

Damn,
I did mine yesterday and I would charge myself about 450 to 500 hundred bucks. One days wage not bad.

The picture is alittle extreme for a tunnel swap because Im doing drivers rear skid, head shim and new A-arms + oil change.

$1500 if it's just the tunnel install
$1000 if it's during a turbo install

i agree with iamvector it's just time consuming. It's a great summer project
