What all is needed for turbo yamaha's?

[eddie]

I have a Nitro on hold and I am close to pulling the trigger on a MTX turbo to go with it, but what all is needed? I was told the stock drivers wont last more than a ride or two with the increase in power. Is this true? Should I be setting aside more money for beefing up the connecting rods as well? What other expenses am I looking at?

Do you mean "MCX" or "MTX" Turbo

 

[eddie]

Sorry, MCX. MTX is the Nitro. I must have got confusedhttp://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Avid drivers are a must,clutching and duct tape to hold on to the bars.

Other than that nothing, Yamaha has been known to over engineer and build parts-almost like they knew turbos were in the near future

Probably extros but nothing motor wise until you decide to run high boost numbers. That is it just ride.

Clutching and an adjustable helix are usually included in the MCX kit. As is the boost gauge and blow off valve. FYI

I have been running the stock drivers on boost for the last 2 years.....ran the track a little loose the first few hundred miles chewed the drivers up a bit.....run the track tight and they are holding up not to bad running 15p-17 psi boost......but if you can I would change them to avids right off the start

Thanks for the input, They wont have any turbo's available for another week so that gets me some time to look into getting some drivers!

There are lots of turbo's running the stock drivers. Just keep an eye on the drivers and check your track tension. It's a totally separate job so you can change drivers anytime. You will need to do clutching and I would run a boost gauge for sure so you know where you're at. Other than that, gas and go.

i'm thinking of a nytro turbo and was just wondering what kind of fuel do you guys run. race gas or can you get away with regular

Premium up to 12 lbs of boost with headshim

Stock drivers are probably OK until you start runnin big numbers
