Stronger motor mounts

[TURBIE]

We are finding a lot of great success with the guys that are doing our up grades that had problems that now can ride the sled without worries of belts blowing or heat exchanger tabs breaking off or cracking. I have sold a lot of product to guys that don't even go on the forums that are very happy and have a new love for there turbo now, **** some of these guys are now even planning for this summer to do turbo upgrades. So this is good news for the turbo guys.

Questions for turbie

Turbie,
Is this something you do in your shop?
Do you keep all the parts there to fix these things?
Do you have the OSP alignment tool?
Mine doesn't seem to be a belt blower.
I'm kinda worried about the motor mount busting off the heat exchanger.
I've swapped the turbo to a SC and added a C3 belt drive along with the OSP engine snubber and the OSP jackshaft brace to the drive line.
I live 3.5 hours east of Saskatoon and I'm looking for a shop with experience in fixing these things to look at my sled.

I do installs in my shop but its my side line thing that has went out of control since I developed the engine brackets, motor mounts, and the TCL delete the we (EVO) and I now sell and I do stock the parts along with EVO parts also and do have all the osp alignment tools.

I opened Cam as an Evo dealer at the start of the winter Darnell. He is very familiar with the TCL he prototyped and the installation of it oddly enough haha. If you don't want to come the extra way out here Cam is the only guy other than us that has installed more than one in saskatchewan. You'll be in good hands either way. Guess everything we did last year is working good then?

Gene, Turbie,
I've only rode my sled twice this winter, maybe a 100 miles, it's been brutal cold and windy here all winter. We are heading out this afternoon. Gong to try the 93 octane tune (ran the 91 tune first 2 rides) and the anti lag today for the first time.
I haven't blown a drive belt since we did the OSP engine snubber and jack shaft brace last winter when we instaled the SC kit and C3 belt drive before heading to the mountains last spring, getting close to 400 miles on the belt I'm running now. I don't think this sled has ever been a belt blower though.
I'm a little worried I'm going to break the drive shaft (when using the anti-lag) and the motor mount off the heat exchanger with all the torque the SC kit makes.

I'm wondering if I should do the whole TCL delete kit next even though my sled isn't hard on belts???

I'd like to put the OSP alignment tool on my sled just to see how everything is aligned before buying a whole bunch of parts I might not need.

If I were you I would do the stage 3 kit that we sell and Hyvo gears and chain with manual chain tensioner and put your mind at ease and ride it and not worry about breaking something in the middle of your ride and ruin a weekend of riding. With added power it will show its ugly head sooner than if it was stock but even then it will come down to changing parts sometime.

If you are running the antilag I would recommend the same at 300+ hp. You have the belt drive so it's strong enough, the shaft will go next and motor mounts will sag eventually. As stuff wears and flexes the belt reliability will follow suit. Still need the engine stubber, just the JS brace won't be used with a TCL delete.

So far so good

Bendy,
How'd this work for you?

Its better. No belt smell and pulls harder than it ever has. I did the brass update to my EVO BRV. WOW, hard to believe a little brass valve would improve it that much. I had to take weight out of the primary. I went from pulling 7900/8000 to 7500ish after aligning my clutches. It was just slipping that much. It honestly feels like I'm making more HP... obviously I'm just putting it to the ground now.

I just finished doing motor mounts, engine brackets, and jackshaft support and I agree the sled seems to pull a lot harder. Feels more firmer when I grab some throttle.

 

[JustBoostIt]

The firmer more direct feel is how everyone describes it. It's a beautiful thing.

 

[TURBIE]

LOL that how I would describe it.

 

[Bendy]

That about sums it up

I just finished doing motor mounts, engine brackets, and jackshaft support and I agree the sled seems to pull a lot harder. Feels more firmer when I grab some throttle.

It does feel tighter? must be that the engine is moving less.

Ya it honestly feels more responsive and I now trust my sled when I go far in the backcountry. I don't have to worry about broken engine mount tabs.
