Was this the SDI project?
Real intersted to see how that ends up working for you!

that thing is gonna be a really fun sled if you can get it to run right, are you gonna relocate the injectors to a new spot like cat one?

whos turbo?
I beleive he is doing it all on his own, as i have seen him scavanging parts all over on here. as i recall he was looking for a aerocharger round here a bit back, so i guess he found one.

Sdi
Yes it is a 600 sdi. I am building all the components myself and having my cousin weld up the airbox due to the fact that i don't weld aluminum everyday so it is just better to have a professional welder do it. I have done alot of research and have sorted through the BS so i should be on the right track. I am excited to give it a try as it will be extremely nice to have the Attitude box to adjust fuel rather than having to pull everything apart to make a small change.
I am not relocating the injectors this year. I ran the turbo on a 583 carb motor last year up to 14lbs of boost and it didn't create to much heat. The charge tube was never hot. So I am not to worried about the heat in the bottom end of the motor.

Looks like it will be a few more weeks but getting closer.
nice, glad to see this thing coming together... it looks like a really cool sled, makes me want to turbo my 1000 now!!!
I can't wait to see how it runs for you! I always wondered how a 600 SDI turbo would be.

Well just came in from the garage just started the sled. That is always a good thing! Hopefully have the small things tied up this weekend and be ready to rip. I have been taking my time to get it done as to not rush it and over look something.
Sweet Nipples!
So how did it ride? How was the power?

Power
I Haven't had it out hardly at all. I went up and down the road in fron of my house last night but hard to tell in a 150 ft on gravel. And went down the ditch on sunday with a _30 windchill and no helmet also hard to tell. I need to tune it and get it setup. Going to find a nice straight field with bean stubble this weekend and take a few hours to get it tuned and get aqquainted with the Fuel controllers tendencies. Also going to change the clutching around a bit from what I ran last year on the 583. Seems as though my engagement speed doesn't need to be nearly as high. So going to throw a lighter spring in and more weight as BJ suggested to me. Should make it a bit more peppy off boost. Also going to gear it way up. Probally a 24/43 with the 8 tooth 3.0 drivers. should give me a calcualated speed of 115 or so. Should be good for loading the motor and keeping it from over revving in the deep snow with the lighter spring.

I'm wondering of that gear ratio might be asking to "grease" the belt in the primary at lower speeds....?
Are you going to run a reverse angle helix to compensate for the turbo lag?

No clutching expert.
I am no clutching wizard. I am going to try to run the helix i have unless I have someone who knows a proven setup for clutching and then I will spend the money to purchase the ridiculously expensive helix. I am going to try a 50/40 helix. Is that considered a reverse angle? The clutching thing is pretty confusing to me.

Looks good. Are you using the stock injectors, or different ones???
That's a "regular" angle helix. A reverse angle starts at a lower angle then ramps up steeper. This is sometimes deemed necessary for a turbo sled as they take a little bit until they start to build power....then when they do it is usually a bit rediculous (from normally aspirated standards) and a steep helix helps load the engine....and build silly trackspeed. I would think that even a straight 47 or so would be better for your application than a standard multi-angle.
(Just my opinion....I have ZERO turbo experience....Love your project and looking forward to hearing how she does. I believe Idaho Slim will be reading up here as well.....)
