torco accelerator

[smoking_powerstroke]

I have searched and found a few people that swear by it and some that say it's snake oil. So what is the verdict will it ACTUALLY give you 105 octane with max amount? Looking to run this in my first turbo'd sled. I want to run it at about 10lbs of boost and not have to drag a 55 gallon drum every where.

 

[backcountryislife]

using an octane calculator, it would have to be 350 octane to make 91 into 105 with .5 gal (64 oz)

kinda makes me think there's something not 100% accurate, but I've heard good things about the torco accelerator.

That is exactly while I am so skeptical about it. However, I REALLY don't want to drag a drum everywhere. So I might just lower the boost done and get so I only have to bring 15 gallons with for a weeks trip out west.

I don't buy it is 105 and i've ran a fair amount of it. I am basing this on hitting the det sensor, on my cat, witha full can that is supposed to make it 102 I believe. I can put just a couple of gallons of av in, run more boost, and not hit the det sensor all day. I also have a buddy who could run 12 pounds with av and would hit the det sensor with a couple cans of torco so I call bs. I won't ever use it again.

With a few gallons of av I can run 10lbs. I've heard of people using boost juice (shain stanger runs it and sells it) up to 12lbs after that its cheaper to run rg.

With a few gallons of av I can run 10lbs.

So at 10lbs I could get away with just mixing 3gallons of 110? All my riding is at 5,000-9,500ft.

We use 116 so that we can use less of it, and need to store less of it.

I find 3.5 gal of 116 is equal to 9 gal of 100LL.

The higher you can find, the less you'll need to deal with.


Octane supreme btw (similar to boost juice) is 140 octane, so that gives an idea how much less you'll need.

do a little playing around, start with what you run now, then see what it takes to use 116, or 110, or 140... you'll have a better idea what works for you.

 

[WyoBoy1000]

Seems like 1qt of boost juice with a tank of 91 is good for 10lbs. 1 1/2qts good for 12lbs. That means tuned right and putting out good power, on some of the earlier bd kits you could run more boost.

Don't know about this Boost Juice; however, I tried Torco Accelerator and it did NOT perform as advertised.

I added a can to 10 gal of 92 Shell OX gas (should have put me at 102) and it did not come close to performing as well as 100ll. My heart knew better but my mind said, what the heck, try it. I would run straight av or a 92/ race gas mix and never look back at torqued off again.

 

[backcountryislife]

I find it funny all the graphs & charts that they show, but they don't bother mentioning the one thing we really want to know... what octane is the actual product!

As for octane supreme or boost juice, I've heard good things, at least no stupid claims anyhow.

 

[WyoBoy1000]

BTW I think that is for around 7000ft. I have ran 9lbs with very little av gas and the rest 91 at 8500 to 10000ft. I think 2-3 gal of av would work for 7-10k up to 10lbs if tuned right.

I am still looking for a turbo'd sled and found one with a push race gas setup running on 100% 110. I am a novice on 2 stroke turbo tuning, but Jeff from Dakota Performance is only about 2 hours away. So if I do pick this sled up I either pay Jeff to lower the boost and re-tune or find a different solution than to drag the drum around.

I am going to derail my own thread here but anyone running a push race gas kit, if so how do you like it?

 

[WyoBoy1000]

From what I've heard the push kits are nice, I just don't think you need all the extra stuff unless you are running the max amount of boost all the time, keep it clean and simple and they are the most fun. Thats the biggest reason I went with twisted, wanna buy my sled, lol.

 

[smoking_powerstroke]

WyoBoy yours and backcountry's are two other sleds I have been thinking about. The only thing about the sled with the push kit is its only 60miles from me.

 

[backcountryislife]

If you're close to Jeff, and can get help if you ever need it, I'd go for it. I've heard more & more positive about the push kits (mostly from guys on arcticchat from guys near you) & wouldn't hesitate to go that direction.

I don't know much about the other push kits, I just pay attention to the G kit as I feel that's the true game changer in the industry right now.

I'm in CO though... you could just come get it from me... (actually got it sold it sounds like, he said he'd buy it as soon as we were done riding... so in september then!)

I'll be coming through SD in a couple days...

Well if you want to ride it there is plenty of snow still, What ever you get learn as much as you can about it, not knowing what makes them work can be a real pain. I've never had a problem but some of my friends with bd kits have had a wild ride trying to figure them out.

I would LOVE to go riding but right now work dictates no time off until a few products are done.

As far as learning I have never been scared of learning something new. I just hope to learn it before it would cost me a rebuild.

 

[WyoBoy1000]

Just do what I do and pull some all nighters, over 100hrs last week, there will be snow for a while so if its still here and you can go I'll go either way.
Just read up as much as possible, all kits have similarities, so if you learn the basics and functions of each part it will come easy. I learned up and when I got mine didn't have a clue then I called the right guy and he gave me the run down which made the biggest difference. If I wouldn't have already known most of it I wouldn't have understood much. After that I had to clarify a few things but pretty darn simple, easier than my piped m1000.

If the sled is that close I would go take a look, run a compression test, take off the pipe, PV's and look at the pistons, get some history, how many miles are on it, inspect the clutching (rollers and bushing) have the reeds been changed etc.... I would guaranty mine for a short time as long as I could ride with the buyer and explain everything.
