What’s Next?

Or maybe wanting more power.

without doing the wrenching.........

and oem level engineering.

go ride a turbo doo and a non turbo back to back and see the difference. (Even at sea level)

then a reflashed doo vs an aftermarket turbo sled. Response is impressive.

 

[damx]

The extra torque the turbo doo makes is noticeable even at low elevation, and if you never rode a turbo poo at 7 pounds under 4000' you won't understand, why us low elevation guys would buy a turbo doo and a tune for it.

My Supercharger fits where OEM muffler used to be. Zero Heat created. Pro chargers have been around for years and daily driven in various vehicles.
It could vary easily be vented to maintain consistent boost levels.
The various ways they are mounted to vehicles and fuel management are getting to be a normal


Starting from a R would be better than VR platform as far as narrow body. And has tether provisions..
Something like this.

 

[turboless terry]

The matryx tank area is narrow........

I’m interested in factory boost.

nothing else really ups the ante.........

I just rode my wife's 165 kaos for the first time. The coolest thing about it is the narrowness of the skinz tank. When you jump on my buddy's 163 kaos you realize how fat they are and how bad they rub the inside of your leg. Getting the oil off the clutch guard is a bonus. You could actually change plugs from clutch side.

 

[DITCHBANGER]

Sure wish skinz kept the stock volume though

 

[turboless terry]

I hear you but 9.5 gallons for my wife is no problem. Most of the time for us it's no problem. To be honest, after riding it, i would rather pack gas on the back and have the tank the way it is.

 

[Killer Time Racing]

2.5 gallons is 15 pounds .
Pack lightly.

Sticker on tunnel says 15 LBS MAX.
I'm sure it has a safety margin !!

Those tanks sure look cool though . Polished up and hydrodipped is beautiful.

 

[turboless terry]

As long as you pack it over your running board mounting bolt you'll be fine. Hers matches the lime green. First aftermarket add on that ive been googly eyed about for a while. Guessing you don't want one with a supercharger based on my buddy's old supercharged pro.

 

[Killer Time Racing]

Its about the smiles per gallon .

Another limited model. Get ready for the BE model! Extra lightweight

I think you're right on the BE edition. It would sell a lot of sleds. The Khaos kinda is along this special addition line and it seems like it is a cool sled with good sales. If Polaris did some of the things Burandt is doing to his sleds they would sell like crazy just because it is his edition. Short tunnel, upgraded shocks, brake lever, low bars, narrow short seat, bags, and BE stickers.

 

[likkerpig]

Including a tether would be great

The mountain sleds moving towards the new Matryx plastics design is easily predicted. There may be a few design changes but the basic principle of the Axys geometry I expect to go unchanged.

Maybe a Polaris battery less starter system? It’s about time Polaris dumps their heavy starter system.

I don’t anticipate a turbo 850 in the Polaris line up. It’s easy to say they will follow suit but the Polaris mountain line up has been about being the lightest. They can still be the lightest turbo but an even larger displacement motor just for the mountain sleds say a 900 or 925 making 190-195hp would give the turbos a run up to 5000-6000’ and still be lighter and cheaper than a turbo at 7000’+


MSRP on a 21 RMK 850 was $18000ish CDN? For a Doo turbo $21000+?

I would pay $800-1000 more for a 900+cc that weighed a couple of pounds more than $3000+ for a turbo that weights 40lbs more, But I know there are tons of turbo fans and feel as though if Polaris doesn’t offer a turbo they are falling behind.

If I recall, adding a turbo to a Poo is closer to 10lb gain over stock. Don’t forget, you loose the 25lb suitcase that hangs off the side. ?

For aftermarket maybe but Doo certainly didn’t lose their suitcase and Jerry cans are basically mandatory with those things now as they are thirsty

True from that perspective

None of the manufacturers can lose the cans. They have to meet a fleet wide noise and EPA standard.

I never said they would.

Just say NO to more moving parts.. supercharger or turbo [emoji1304]

More to pay for,
more to break,
more to service,
more complication..

buy a a skidoo if you want all that.

You can make the same HP by simply dropping in a bigger engine. Same 840 base design. bigger bore and stroke.

No. You need more air to burn more fuel to make power. Elevation kills the air side, and you just can't get around that.


A very durable 5000 mile turbo 2t mountain sled with a good cooler and short tunnel would be perfect. How does burdant cut 40-50 lbs off a new sled? Surely they can cut out another 15lbs to make up for the turbo. The very nature of the turbo helps to quiet the exhaust, so they should be able to cut a few lbs out of the can to help with the turbo weight.

What did I find researching what sled to buy? Avoid the RMK because it needs rebuilt often, avoid the M because it's heavy, avoid ski-doo because it's heavy. All mountain sleds suck and overheat.



Boost by elevation/air density and 180-200hp from 0-12000ft would be perfect. Always consistent. Always predictable.

Don't make it a standard, but make it a snowcheck option. Big bores have been done to death. Ever wonder why there are no real big bore kits anymore and everything is boost now? It's cheap, effective, and retains parts availability.



My views may be skewed by the fact that I live at 4000ft. I ride at 6000'+. I've never seen a need for a low elevation setup because I don't know why you'd buy a mountain sled to ride in MN.

Carls 900 seams pretty popular
