Post Your Spring/Summer Builds.

[HYFLYR]

Thanks everyone, it came out better than i hoped for as well.

I would think 17 psi it would be around the 300hp mark give or take a few but thats just doing it by the math. The computer is dialed in for more but ill start from there and see how she goes.It should scoot around nicely. \

Akmc800, looks good man.

 

[Modedmach1]

Sweet!! Yea it should scoot...

Mines gonna be on a 06 IQR 440, we should pair them up and let em rip. What did you do to soften up the rear end of the sled? I swapped in some floats up front and I am trying to come up with something for the skid because it is way to stiff for her.

I get the both the rears revalved, nothing special because I'm going to be riding it too, just crank the clicker down and call it good I guess. But if you are dedicating your 06 solely to your girl, I would probably use some fox zero pros or ryde fx's in it.

The rear shocks both have pretty standard lengths, plenty of replacement options.

Pretty much my project this past summer aside from workin on my car was saving money to buy an M.

Found this 06 M7 153" LE with only 300 miles on it, all stock. I added the side panel vents, 2-wheel kit, can, and the skis.

LET IT SNOW!

sounds kinda weak

sweet looking desert camo, make caleb post his already.....geez!!!

Fun Fact: 300HP on pump must be nice

Ray....where are your pics?

Caleb.....I am waiting.........

Well heres what i have been working on all summer long, and its still not quite done yet, lol. Ill get some more pics up later but you get the idea. Alittle info
2008 nytro mtx
2010 timbersled mtn tamer rear skid
162x15x2.5 camo extreme
Impulse pump gas turbo kit, (17+ PSI)
OFT Racing rider forward kit
Sledgarage custom tunnel(BEEFY)
Advanced Powder Coating on darn near everything(and i mean everything)
41" RTX front end
+2" to the seat thanks to Fineline Interiors
and alot more i cant think of right now. A big thanks to caleb for letting me build it in his shop while im in the process of getting my house and all the help!Pics dont do it justice, you just cant capture this color, its a must see

Ohh and by the way it is FOR SALE at the end of artic man, and a big thanks to Anchorage Yamaha for the support and the sled!

How much boost are stock bottom ends good for on the yami's? Sick build, thanks for the pics.

Caleb.....I am waiting.........

the build went south, VE tunnel stuff needed tons of rework to fit, doing more stuff to the turbo stuff, too many beers and put a rivot hole in the cooler, and have some 5/8 hammer rivots on order....the folks at VE are great to deal with and the folks are OVS are retarded, i got the rear suspention coupler thingy they sell and no hardware...called three times, still got nothing

still plan to send it all to powder coat late next week i hope

Well thats up for debate as far as bottom ends and boost, there are many guys running 25+ psi on stock bottom ends on propane kits all day long with thousands of miles, but thats propane. With good fuel(race 110 or higher) i cant see why 20 isnt possible all day everyday. Its not the crank or piston that are the weak link its the rods but as long as you can fight deto from happening theres no reason they cant handle big boost levels. Once you have a harmonic imbalance at those levels with deto, things go south quickly. I would feel safe running 18-20 though with the right fuel, it just gets spendy but the power is so addicting.

Ray, you running alittle behind brotha, get that thing done son.

Bum deal. What kind of fitment issues with the tunnel?

 

[c-bolt]

Uhhhhh.......Caleb...where are your pics? I want to see that tank!

 

[hatchers]

The VE rear half tunnel will fit the 07 and older Ms just fine, but the newer Ms have a small strength angle thingy on the inside board area. Its a simple fit to cut and file, no big deal. The VE stuff is bomb proof, the sides are 1/8" thick.

Did not want to do the board insert thing as ive seen a few that are bending or comping apart, but the VE board edge is 1" tall and bomb proof, so i got some better boards at did things my way, it should work, i hope

Didnt know they would handle that type of boost on a stock bottom end. If they left that much on the table in stock form wonder how much they are giving up in N/A form vs being higher CR from the get-go? I dont know what the stock CR is from the factory, but it sounds like somewhere in the 9's?

What seems to be the breakpoint for Octane and 17psi like your running? Do you have an open ended logging/programming software that you use to tune? Do you run a wideband?

I know you probably play it safe with octane. The Lucas off the shelf octane boost is proven to raise octane 3 points 1 with bottle per 10 gallons. So it works great for us guys up here dealing with this crap 90 Octane junk we have in the pumps here.


Ive ran alot of big boosted combo's on alot of cars, so these boosted sleds intrigue me to say the least.

I don't think he's running a wideband anymore, he's got faith

They run a really thick head shim+2 head gaskets to end up somewhere in the area of 8:1, I think they are around 10.5:1 or so from the factory, but drew would know more about that..

 

[MR J]

Yea, where are the pics Caleb. Have have you mounted the 105 mm gun yet?

Are the factory pistons cast or forged?

Stock comp ratio is 11.3 to 1, higher than most would think. The 4 banger motor is 11.8 to 1. With the new kit i am running i will be in the neighborhood of 8.5 to 1. Im going to sound like a nerd but if my calculations are correct given boost, octane, cr, and alt i should be able to run 18psi on 98 octane and 15psi on 90 octane. I will also be running larger injectors and a safer a/f ratio of 11.5 rather than 12 to 12.5. As for the a/f gauge i will have one just because although it shouldnt be needed with this kit as its all computer programmed to adjust fuel according to water temp, intake temp, baro sensor, and boost. Its a GM 3 bar system, very nice especially for a sled system. I think i touched on everything. Been playing with these turbo and fourstrokes for awhile now and they are just fun, its like they were built to be boosted and the technology thats hitting the sled industry is making them more and more reliable and easier to ride.

Looks good icr...You still looking for a hood?

Thanks. No I bought/borrowed one locally until my mesh shows up.
