Edge RMK 800 turbo

Ztiggi · Feb 5, 2011

Just started on my turbo project,
Greddy td06 17c turbo,
finally figured out how boondocker makes their vented spill-proof oil tank,
and made such one

for you guys riding, or have built a DIY 2-stroke turbo, I'd like your input, because I have never touched a 2-stroke turbo before.

I'm anxious to see how this goes for you. I'm planning on putting a turbo on my edge 700 this summer. I'm thinking of using a aerocharger so I don't have to worry about the oil tank though. Good luck!

I might be crazy but are you sure you have the exhaust going into the inlet of the turbo. One of the pics makes it look like you have it going into the down pipe and the inlet is facing the motor.

I know it looks weird, but the end of the pipe is to be blocked off, the exhaust goes out at the side of the pipe, more pics to come soon

does anybody know where to find a simple inline oil filter?
does a inline fuel filter work, or is the oil too thick?

curious to see how this thing turns out! Not too sure I understand where the flange from the stock pipe will connect tho?

for the inline filter that's what we all have I think. Seen some of them pretty much in every autopart shop. Youll need a electric oil pump too! and use full synthetic lightest oil you can find. i.e. 0w5

what turbo is this? looks smaller than mine. where is your oil tank?

Ztiggi · Feb 8, 2011

I'll take pictures of the pipe today, it is almost finished,

this is the list of parts so far, it also shows the turbo, it handles up to 380hp on a car application

Turbocharger-Greddy td06 17c
FPR malpassi for carbed turbo (mc-xpress)
Wastegate, cheap 38mm v-band
Fuel pump Walbro 190 l/h
Oil pump Greylor 24volt
Boost meter
2x thunder power jets
koso dual egt w/RPM and water temp
OEM edge 800 pipe

the oil tank shows on one of the pictures at the table, hangs behind the turbo

Polaris has on on the newer IQ sleds. My 2007 has one.

Can you give me some details on the oil tank? I have to make one for my setup.

you mean the non-spilling system?

just make the tank about 3 times the size of oil you want into it,
and the vent pipe should end in the absolute center of the tank,
since the tank is less than half filled, the oil will never reach the center of the tank, no matter if your upside down or rolling

Ths sounds like a great idea

How much oil capacity did you build in?

Mark's RMK · Feb 8, 2011

Space

If you upgraded your chaincase to the 2004 with the phantom brake you might gain some space and then the dipstick is more toward the bacj side instead of down front.

I've put them on my 2002 Edge XC and my 2003 Edge RMK. They use a tensioner more of the Pro-X style with the bolt pushing the tensioner directly and the tensioner rides in slots in the case and cover. The brake mounts to two vetical flanges so it's quite a bit narrower on top as well. It's a direct bolt on and all the later model Edges, even the 550 fans came with them and the brake. If you got a brake from the 550 fan you could tuck your hose back by the oil tank and get it out of the way as well. the newer brakes are not liquid cooled.

2000 Indy XC's had an inline oil filter. Dennis Kirk has them or OEM Polaris.

i buildt the tank with a capacity of 1.5 litre,
planning to add only 0.5 litre of oil.

here is some more pics, showing my weird pipe

if I detach the oil tank, the whole exhaust system with the turbo installs in one piece.

next turbo-day I might start looking at the pressure box and carbs

interesting design

Thunder products power jets

watch those thunderproducts power jets, they can turn in on ya in a hartbeat with the sleves, they get loose quick. Had to tape mine to keep from turning in. I found out the hard way the first time. I finaly just gave up and got a set from TurboPerformance that actualy work and stay put. Another plus there about half the price.

do you mean they turn in even with the rubber/plastic sleeves on?

Nice to see an external WG on a sled :photo:

You wrecked your pipe by welding flat plate on the end. Look up pics of old psi center dump single pipes. You need to have cone on the end for the scavenging to work correctly.

Yeah, maybe you got a point there,
I've seen them PSI pipes,

I'll try it this way for the first time, I can change it later if it doesn't work any good.
