To Go Big Bore or not?

Thinking of installing an RKT 827 big bore kit on an 04 Rev but i am not sure about reliability if it blows up my season would be over. I am not scared to run race fuel as i am already doing that for a saftey factor. Is there any other good Kits made in Western Canada?
 
over

how could your season be over? it only takes a day to put a motor togather. if you get it dialed right the first time the reliability should be the same. make sure your not lean or over reving and it should run fine. just as reliable as stock which is ?????, you never know there either.
 
big bore

Call tim at thin-air power sports in Elko,Nv i think he is running a 827 kit in his personal machine good guy to talk to about big bore stuff
 
If your in CA stay in CA and go with The Sled Shed, Split Second or Terra Alps...I think they make one for the HO. You don't want to deal with shipping costs and customs.
 
we build a 830 kit, cast reliable pistons, billit head, fully ported, exh valve mod.
built for the mtns. were in Kelowna BC.

Ted,

This is THE GUY for your bigbore. He's getting my motor next year when my frigged up knee "should be ok...Dr."

Just to answer a few of your concerns.

The 827 (really an 830) has been around since 2001. It is extremely reliable. It runs on 91 octane (unless you request race fuel). So, fill up at the local pump!

It also has the record at Dyno Tech Research (independent Dyno facility) for the highest HP Ski Doo twin 800 on pump gas with a single pipe.. there have been may of these engines pass thru DTR and all make at least 170HP

You are more than welcome to call Jim at DTR and ask him about this build..He will tell it to ya like it is..
Feel free to call me if you have any other questions.

In short.. Very reliable, Great power, Pump gas safe.

OH, there are not customs problems either.. We ship to Canada everyday.. 4-6 days shipping no customs fees or problems.

Kelsey
