Sidewinder turbo upgrades

[1200]

Just wondering if anyone has done any turbo upgrade for more top end power like a better compressor wheel or different turbo ?

You’re looking at making more top end power?
Have you figured out your belt blowing issue yet?

Ya belt seems to be ok . Got it to run cooler with more vents and heavier secondary spring. I feel the belt was slipping on the secondary clutch. Clutching still needs some refinement. Got more weights and spings to try . Still feels weak on top end .

Is your sled stock or tuned? Stock muffler or aftermarket?

250mcx stright pipe and intake. Just wondering whats next step for a little more top end power.

MCXpress makes good power stage 3 is 340HP stage 4 is 428HP.

Engine makes good torque. Might be running out of gear so falling off on the top end. What year/model is the sled? Many of the M-TX versions are geared quite low and might give the feeling of falling off on the top end.

Thats a little more than i was thinking. Maybe like 20 or 30 hp ? Bigger intercooler? Not sure if a bigger Intercooler will help as its just a block of ice the whole time. still need to run pump gas and need the quick spool up . Just feels lazy at wot compared to a 260 hp apex . Gearing is 21 50 with 7 thooth drives. Feels ok but i would say it s more like 200 or 220 ish hp.

Factory turbo maxes out at 250hp. These other claims of 270, 280... are all great on a short dyno pull but in real world riding anything over the 250 mark and you are heat soaking the turbo and just blowing hot air.

If you want more power a turbo upgrade is needed. If you aren't afraid of losing reverse could go belt drive to gain throttle response and change gearing to suit your riding style.

Correct … MCX speaks and sells the truth… all these other claims are horse poop
