Snowmobile Guys? Got Turbo!

[Mike Licht]

I just got an Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo Sno Pro that we are fooling around with. It is lots of fun but it will be more fun once we get the MAFT Pro on it and crank the boost, some guys are getting 280HP just by raising boost and fuel with race gas. Arctic Cat

Any other sled heads around here?

Wow! Real cool Mike! I've got a turbocharged jetski that I bumped the boost up, but it isn't making anywhere near that king of hp. What does the sled use for an intercooler?

It has an air to air up in the nose about 1/2 the size of a stock Buick unit. Some guys in Canada claim they changed the gears, raised the boost, added fuel and went 147 MPH on one. A stock unit with different gears, drag track and tuned for the warm weather went low 9's at 137MPH on a dragstrip Good stockers run in the mid 120's on hard pack snow. We are going to find out this weekend up on Houghton Lake. if it runs good I will go to Caddilac for the snow races they are having there this weekend.

There was a pressure crack a couple weeks ago that stood 5 or 6 feet straight up off the ice like an ice wall about 2 feet thick. We were wondering when someone was going to hit it but they taped it off, at night you could not see it until you were so close you were not stopping. I saw a guy hit a small one and parts of his sled were scattered across the lake ...ouch

Life long sled head here. Started racing when I was 6 on local oval tracks, now I just ride for the sport and fun of it. 07 Arctic Cat M8 162" is my current sled. Boondocker and SLP are local companies and I have friends and family who work for both. Buddy has a Polaris Dragon 800 with a Boondocker Turbo kit, his own tune on a Boondocker EFI management netted 387 HP on the dyno.

Too cool Mike! I need to get me a 4 stroke and a blow dryer. :biggrin:

Looks like warmer weather is coming to ruin the fun.

Canadian sled head here. I drive a thundercat, been waiting to play with one of those turbo's on the lake but haven't got the chance yet. They are mean looking. Have fun.

103?

Only 103? Lose Your Nerve? Trees Go By Fast Over 100mph! Blew A Belt Last Weekend On The Railroad Grade Between Baldwin And Reed City @ 108mph On My 72oo Mile 2003 F7. It Also Was Still Pulling.

 

[GNBRETT]

I love the way those things sit. From the front they look just like pissed off hornets.

Cant believe turbo kits are factory now for snowmobiles or snowmachines or whatever you wanna call them.
