Branix

no sled was running the standalone because it as just been created. in a couple of year you will not come across fuel box no more.I know Brani for quite a while and i hope his computers will be good. It is good to see companies taking the snowmobile to a serious level(e.f.i.). Push had never see the standalone before brani showed up at his boot so let see how it is going to work but for sure the hardware is there so now it is the tuner responsability to make good mapping/tuning and THIS IS NOT AN EASY JOB and ALL turbo kit manufacturer will have to sublet the work because NONE of them right now as the level knowledge to tune those standalone(the one i know ). it is going to be very intersting! i hope they have a sweet team of tuners/receptionists because the phone will ring for sure!! we all have to realize standalone systems are here for good now.....just find an excellent tuner and all of us will be happy!
good job Branix!!

. If the standalone was the be all, end all, why hasn't Erik at MCX switched over? He's probably sold more turbo kits than all the manufacturers put together.

You definately hit the nail on the head there.
That is my opinion.
I'm not sure how a tbo kit manufacturer could ever keep up with trying to keep everyones sleds dialed in with all the set ups out there, and the different fuel requirements?
Branix standalone all have barometric sensor for altitude compensation like our ecu. once dialed in, no need to tune for whatever condition , the compensations feature will do it for you(like oem!!!!) I think it is a little early to claim the fuel box will be obsolete,
No it is not......still a long road to get to that point IMO.

Well, to replace a 300$ fuel box with a 1700$ standalone would be costly for them.....see what i mean? :face-icon-small-win He's probably sold more turbo kits than all the manufacturers put together.
well fabricated kits for sure.

Not sure on the other manufacturers numbers but we have surpassed the 5000 kit mark for 4 stroke snowmobiles.
Great achievment!!
Our kits are engineered to hit a specific power level on a daily basis and to do so without rider input. The fuel controller is set up with a margin of safety and there is no doubt that these margins can be improved upon slightly.
All come to a cost.
This comes at the cost of daily tuning for different conditions and risk of engine damage.
depends on what technology you are refering to.....no need to tune when proper mapping done with a certain kit/hardware(just like oem)
I agree with Duke as there are advantages to having the A/F inputs and the technology is great but at this point I don't feel the gains are significant enough to justify the switch and the added complexity.
Definately not too complex but needs a certain amount of time to master software and functions but very doable and the benifits are enormous.
