so who else is boosting their XM???

stalefish_132 · Oct 15, 2012

so who's buying what? aerocharger, boon docker, TSS, sibler, turbo performance? not sure who else I'm missing.

myself I'm going a little different route.

centermount 2871, stock 800R pipe welded and braced, non intercooled, boost it fuelling, 50mm dial bov, tunnel dump exhaust with carbon fibre muffler.

I've gathered used parts from a few different places. pics give you a little idea what it'll look like, this is on a 08 800R.

Im going to ride it for a year first. Give the turbo companies more time to refine, and me more time to make up my mind. Also use one year of that warranty. I think I am leaning to Aerocharger, but nothing decided yet.

not sure if those pics are of your own sled, but im in need of a new snorkel, i had purchased the boondocker snorkel for my sled, their biggest one, being 3" and not happy with it at all, i keep cleaning it after each ride and it plugs right up in the powder, i cant even enjoy having the turbo'd sled in the powder because it wont run with a plugged intake of course.

now im not sure if its because of the pre filter its self is a dud, or if its that they use those 3 tower things meant to flex, but i know the filter sucks in like a bag,

but i know all sorts of other people who have their snorkels burried in powder all day long and they dont plug up at all and the sled keeps on going????

thats not my sled but a buddy of mines, and he never had a problem with that intake set up. i plan on runing something similar on my sled this season.

Cool build! Keep up the good work and enjoy!

im building a 2013 xm 163 800 with an aerocharger, just waiting for aero to finish there new intercooler and get price figured out
and if the sled would ever show up, that would be nice!!!

mctrailboss · Oct 24, 2012

I'm dooing a 2013 xm x154 with aerocharger/non intercooled. also putting a 156x16x3 track on it. haven't got my hands on anything yet tho. track and turbo ordered and sled should be here any day.:bounce:

Reno Tom · Oct 24, 2012

Doing the same thing to my 2013 154x xm if it shows up.Aero non intercooled.
Missing out on good road ride right now will three feet of fresh snow over the last three days. I new I should have gotten the back up sled ready by now.Well at least I can't break anything if its in the garage.

TreeThrasher · Oct 26, 2012

I was planning to boost mine before I rode it...but now with the sled not coming until after there is snow in the hills :face-icon-small-fro I am leaning towards learning more about the etec system and building a faster NA version of it for the first half of the season. Then doing a full custom system on it for climb season

taylorbok · Nov 7, 2012

I was looking at boondockers instructions for an etec and they tap into the ignition coils, does anyone know why they do this? I am assuming for some sort of ignition control?

I am considering building my own kit again, but for an xm etec using a comp turbo this time

Wheel House Motorsports · Nov 7, 2012

assuming its the same thign as how dobeck does it, using the trigger wire on the coil for the RPM signal to fire powerjets in the airbox as i am not sure they can get the signal from the stock injectors.

taylorbok · Nov 7, 2012

right on that makes sense, thanks

TreeThrasher · Nov 8, 2012

Ya, Im pretty sure thats how they are triggering the additional injectors.

Aerocharger Rocks at 5.5lbs going to 8 tomorrow. Easy build.

Destroyer · Jan 2, 2013

600 Miles on my TSS kit and runs flawless. Blows my mind.

TreeThrasher · Jan 3, 2013

Is it easy to keep a tune on it? How many lbs of boost?

Destroyer · Jan 3, 2013

7-10 lbs never have to touch the box. Just start it and ride. I boosted up the main fuel at low elevation when I rode at -28 degrees celcius. But probably didn't even have to touch it. It's unreal, I never imagined it would be like this.

adam8781 · Jan 3, 2013

always love seeing homemade turbo builds.

The carbon can going into the tunnel, very cool.

For those waiting for turbo companies to refine, stop waiting. The 800etec has been around since 2011 remember. Xm is just a face lifed xp. BOOST!!!!

can you shed any more detail on your home built center mount turbo?

Backcountrypro · Jan 3, 2013

What elevation are you riding at?

so who else is boosting their XM???
