OVS 2010 M-8 TIAL TURBO DYNO

OVS finishing the dyno runs on Tuesday of the 2010 M-8 Turbo with the Tial turbo kit and the stock pipe. The dyno runs were done at 12 PSI of boost on Propane at 4658FT with the new Quite muffler. The sled produced 288.7 HP at 8500 Rpm. The new OVS M-8 turbo pipe will be dyno tested Friday to improve the low end torque on the new M-8 motor and make more horsepower. This pipe is constructed of 16 gauge steel to withstand the pressures on boosted applications. Pics will be posted of the pipe with final dyno specs as soon as the dyno testing is finished.

No offense, but it seems like lip service more and more of common place when it comes to horsepower ratings and such.


If it did in fact hit 288 HP then post the dyno sheets...If you can't post dyno sheets, then I guess common place Turbo snowmobile customers are once again getting a whole lot of lip service.

I have yet to see anyone here on the forums post any sort of Turbo'ed 2 stroke dyno sheets. If so, then I say Thank you. I feel a whole lot less miss led and misinformed.

I can't remember who said it, but I am pretty sure it was a Turbo kit guy outa Utah, but he said that a M1000 hit 270 HP @ 4.5 LBS of boost. Oh This sounds all good, but once again LIP SERVICE.

All I ask is, if in fact you hit 288 HP: THEN PROVE IT!!!!

Maybe after you take some meds and slow down a little bit you will read the last sentence in the post.

Hi. Im just getting back into sledding after a long hiatus and am really considering boosting my HCR. Just curious are these hp numbers off engine dyno's? Or a chassis dyno? thx!

Are you guys going to do any pipe and muffler testing on an early model M8 for all of us that might want to tune up what we have?

Sure looking forward to that quiet muffler!
 
The testing is done on a crank dyno. I will print the sheets as soon as the testing for the new pipe is done and post them. The new pipe will be dyno tested on the earlier model M-8 as soon as the 2010 is done. Zeb the 1200 made 299.8hp at 7psi of boost.
 
Great job guys. What a beast. Do these numbers have correction factors since you are at ~4700ft or are they uncorrected #'s?
 
Very impressive! If it's only half as good as it looks I will still be satisfied. Who else has a kit on the way?
 
Talked to Travis on Friday, putting in the order on Monday. I can smell the sweet smell of propane already! Curious to see how the new seat/tank setup will look?
 
what the prices on these kits? and to run propane what does that cost on your average day?

You can't remember is right and way off,
"Product Tester" Said with his extreme pg kit at 4300 ft made 205hp at 4.5lbs.

Not everyone is going to be able to tune the full hp out of these but you have to have something to go off of.
 
Sweet lady propane! SCRFCE, retail is $7K with choice of muffler, clutching is $449., gauges are $399. and vents are $199 which pretty much makes a whole kit. Check with your local propane dealer, I get mine for about 1.79 per gallon delivered. Figure maybe 10 gal per day and the savings start to add up pretty fast compared to race gas or even AV.

no doubt savings would start to add up,,,first ive heard of this set up and sounds dam interesting, id like to see what customers say about it in the real world and what the dyno sheets are sayin. Theres also supposed to be a local spot here thats putting out a supercharger for the 2 smokers this year called ripcharger but they havent released much info yet. Ill wait to see the results of both before makin a decision on which way to go
 
Propane to me seems like a no brainer. Why wouldn't you want to run it? You can't get race gas at any fuel stations, and even though limited, you can still get Propane in at least one fuel station per town for automotive applications at least. The biggest issue I can see is guys worrying about running out on the hill. A buddy tank is in the works for those situations, I'll be sure to get one of those myself while I'm at it. The more miles you rack up on this kit, the more savings you get directly in your pocket.

Plus you can't even compare propane to the price of what you'd normally pay. Propane is cheaper than even regular octane gasoline, how many of you are still running regular in your machine? Most of us run premium, so the cost saving even on gas compared to race gas is significant alone.

It is lip service! We don't care what you can make in a engine lab at 4600ft, bring real world HP #er's, from real world elevation, on a chassis dyno With a graph, Sounds like 230-230 to the track to me.
 
Its simple math,, 2 stroke turbos are very consistent at making predicted power..
ie. 150 base hp, 8 psi boost, 50% power increase or slightly more if you did a really good job.
The dyno figures for the CAT above make PERFECT sense.. 310 + with the right size compressor at 15 psi would be the outcome..

chassis dynos ( inertia dyno ) is a nice fairytale tool,, the factors that dynojet use are mythical.. when proper factors ( view bob bergeron's formula ) its much much lower than dynojet figures..

why people are so dyno driven when it comes to turbos confounds me.

the power is there, manage it and have fun

How much extra weight are you packing around with propane tanks? Would a comparable gas jobbie with less power be the same fun factor as a heavier propane unit? Just wondering if the fuel savings is worth the extra weight. I have had a few propane powered vehicles and you would have to burn more fuel to acheive the same distance as a gas job. Yes it is cheaper fuel but when you burn more are you really saving? Im not slamming product here, just want to be more informed.

Glassman this was posted on an earlier thread by Travis

The stock factory ecu is used and all components need are included in the kit. All of the stock sensors stay operational so the customer has all warning systems that they are used to on a stock sled. The tank is a single 12 gallon alloy tank that is tested and certified. The tank weighs 19lbs and propane is 4.5lbs per gallon. This makes the tank 54lbs when it is full. The stock tank and fuel pump assembly weighs 12lbs. Gas weighs 7.5 lbs per gallon for a total of 90lbs. Propane tank total weight is 73lbs and gas tank total weight is 102lbs. The mixer and converter and lines add about 10lbs to the sled. Then you can remove fuel regulators and fuel pumps and fuel lines fuel fittings that standard turbo sled's have. So the weight difference is a wash between systems.
