Just as the title says. I know I'm not the only guy interested in a low boost kit. So just looking to see if there's any news on it.
We really don't like to put a horsepower number on our kits because it is always changing with boost pressure, elevation, charge temps, etc. I'm sure it would easily be close to 200hp at 5 lbs boost at sea level.What are you looking at for final hp numbers (roughly) and is this kit complete with clutching ,wideband?etc
final ? price?
So is this kit for the poo's only.....
Haha..tell you what, you get me a contact at BRP that will tell me everything I want to know and I will build one just for you!!Yeeeeeeessssssss Neil.........................fess up.
I'll get right on that! lol. You want someone smart or a paper pusher? Lmao!!Haha..tell you what, you get me a contact at BRP that will tell me everything I want to know and I will build one just for you!!
I want the guy that writes the software for the ecu, but he must have dirty hands or I'm not interested. LolI'll get right on that! lol. You want someone smart or a paper pusher? Lmao!!

Sorry for being so quiet about this kit, we just really wanted to get some quality miles on the sled first.
First day we had it out it worked amazingly well and was getting put through its paces by numerous people, then bang! Driveshaft done and a chopper ride.
My dealer was awesome and had me a new shaft and a clamp in a couple days and we were back out riding.
We now have about 250 miles on it and has run perfect until today when we stripped a quick drive belt warming up for the wetaskwin drag races. It didn't like the 10 lbs boost apparently. That was the only time we turned up the boost from its preset value of 6 lbs for low elevation and 4-5 lbs at elevation.
We have never run a wideband on this sled and only use a temp boost gauge for tuning.
This sled runs with no gauges so looks like a total sleeper.
For comparison, it will easily drive by a 1100 cat turbo and run with a good Nytro to about 14 lbs.
We had it on the scale today at the races and it was 480 lbs with 1/4 tank showing on the gauge.
It is a cool package and uses the same garrett 2863 gtx turbo as our high output kit.
Instead of an intercooler we use a tunnel mounted fuel cooler to cool the fuel before it enters the motor.
The fuel box must have one setting adjusted once on the way up the mountain and once on the way down. The adjustment is easy and takes less then 30 seconds. No other adjustments are needed. This is an adjustment for altitude, but if always riding a similar altitude then no adjustments are needed.
We are confident and happy with the kit and are now taking orders.
Please let me know if there are any questions.
Thanks
Shouldn't the higher boost be at altitude?[/QUOTE
The wastegate rod is fixed, so that is where the numbers land. Turbo kits will always make more boost at lower elevation unless the wastegate is electronically controlled for air pressure changes or the boost is turned up manually.

I see now what you are saying. So a logical upgrade would be adjustable boost. If you can safely run 6lb at low altitude then 7-7.5 at high alt should be no problem. And the best point of having a turbo is performance at altitude.
Neil what are you doing for an airbox on this setup? What are you suing for fuel? Av? A blend?

Hey Wes, I just got back from 5 days of tree bashing in Revy and the sled ran great. We actually have it running on straight pump now. I had to bang and smash up a long cutblock at about 4500 ft and even though the charge temps came way up, the sled never hit detonation. It was getting a bit rich on the top end, but I made a quick adjustment on the xic and it fixed it right up. I am happy with the map now and have it set up for the increased charge temps compared to our water to air kit. We may add intake air temps correction to the xic. We played around with it last season but decided we didn't need to use it because of the water to air.Neil what are you doing for an airbox on this setup? What are you suing for fuel? Av? A blend?
