I'm going to see it wendsday. The guy kinda seems like he doesn't think I can handle the sled.lol. Is there a way to intercool it without making a total mess because of the one carb?
rx1 pros and cons

ya I will check over all that stuff. Thank you guys for the input.I've been looking into the turbo and there is mixed reviews on it. Has anyone rode one? I want to be able to get around 275hp, with engine upgrades. I ride a arctic cat triple around 215hp. I'm super excited and I have found a few others in boise aswell.
That's one of the imfamous Lightning Pro systems. Ask yourself why you don't see many of them around. I wouldn't count on the fuel to cool the charge any more on that system than any other system. You won't get the thumbs up on this one from me.
I don't believe it can cool the air by adding fuel. But I dnt want to put an intercooler on it an mess up the system. I ve found a few others with alpine and mc express. I will go and see which is the best. I don't want to by it and be unhappy.

alpine built one of the best rx1 turbo kits it works well & will make as much power as you want to spend. depending on turbo you will want the 2860 turbo on the kit allot come with the 2554 its only good for about 250hp.you can always upgrade the turbo if its a better deal though.there is front mount & rear mount mcx systems the front mount worked well the rear mount is real laggy.biggest thing to look at on the front mounts is the header on the early rx kits they cracked allot.
Maybe the fuel does cool some of the intake charge, but doubt it will cool @ 20lbs. There is no room for an intercooler on the lighting pro, it was a neat idea thou. The delta box has a big cut behind the oil tank area for the exhaust to dump out. If you goggle lightingpro turbos, there is some pretty good pics on there site. But hasnt been updated since 06, so likely not in business anymore. I would stick with somebody that is, Alpine, MCX, Powderlites, they have been in the turbo game since 02/03. Least can still get parts from them, to me that means there in it for the long haul. If Impulse built a RX1 kit, it would be another great choice.
thank you all for your inputs. I think I'm going to pass on this sled for now.i hope to find an alpine or mc front mount. I've been doing alot of searching and am going to save and wait for a good one.
I'm located in boise idaho.
