First ride on silber d7 turbo

rmkid937 · Nov 3, 2009

On Sunday I had my first ride on my silber turboed D7! I just have to say that I am very impressed! I could ask for nothing more.Would like to say thanks to Justin for the turbo build and thanks to Power Toys in Riverton WY for the install. It is by far the cleanest turbo install that I have seen. When the hood is up it looks as if the turbo is factory installed. The mechanics told me that everything went as Justin said it would. The only thing we had to do is a little clutching and the sled ran just as I wanted it to. It ran flawlessly all day. When you were on the throttle it boosted imediately there was no lag. When you let off and got back into it, it boosted imediately. Another thing about the turbo that impressed me is that between myself and the Power Toys mechanics we run the sled hard all day and there was no heat lag in the turbo it just kept on boosting all day. Thanks Justin for the awsome build it is the funnest sled that I have owned. Thanks Lance and Tyler for riding with me Sunday to make sure the sled ran just as I wanted it to.

I have heard nothing but good things about him and his company, and my experience with Justin was outstanding as well!!! He answered ALL my questions without hesitation. Big thumbs up here....glad your setup is making you smile

What kind of boost and elevation were you running? Pump gas? I am thinking about getting a silber kit as well.

rmkid937 · Nov 3, 2009

We rode at Towg. 9 to 11,000 ft. We mixed 2 gallons of race gas for first ride. We ran it at 7lbs. of boost, at that elevation I should be able to run pump gas only. You could call Justin or Lance @ Power Toys.

Wondering how loud Justins turbo is with no muffler?? Heard couple others without mufflers that were shreeky loud !!! I'm really interested in boosting my D7 without shreeky loud !! Thanks guys

loudness was always a problem with turbo, so keep your helmet on.

its a problem to ride near people its really loud.

i used a muffler last yer but its still loud

bigger muffler?

rmkid937 · Nov 16, 2009

With the tunnel dump that Justin uses it is quiet. Once you get in the snow mine is no louder than it was last year with a skinz can on it

jr700 · Nov 21, 2009

just finished installing silber kit on my 700 with the tunnel dump set up, sounds just a little quieter than my sled last year with the mbrp can on it, and as for justin he is great to work with I have called him a couple of times during install and he is more than willing to take the time to help you, no matter what time of day it is. Taking the sled out for first time tommorrow

Sweet you will love it. I have 2 rides on mine and it is more fun everytime I ride it!!

jr700 · Nov 27, 2009

what did you have to change in the clutching and what did you run for boost?

rmkid937 · Dec 1, 2009

I believe that I have 60's in the primary clutch and the secondary has a straight 48 helix, can't remember the spring color. I am only running 6 to 7 lbs of boost. waiting for the snow to get better.

we've been running 62-64's on piped 800's. from the reading ive done sounds like 70-74 for a pgt.

60's seem super light

rmkid937 · Dec 2, 2009

You are probably rite on the 70 -74's. The snow on toeg isn't that good rite now. I have alot of dialing in to do before I get it running at it's optimum performance. Any idea's that you have would be greatly appreciated.

jr700 · Dec 5, 2009

hey rmkid937 i tried 10-74s in mine and couldn't get the revs out of it, changed to 10-70s like justin recomended and i have yet to try it out but i'm sur it will fix my problem

rmkid937 · Dec 6, 2009

thanks jr700 I will have to try that. What are you running in your secondary?

Should be a 180-280 spring
And 40-48 helix or 44-48 helix

Road with a d8 silber turbo last sunday and I would have to say it totally kicks butt. Power Toy's install!!!!

mtncat · Dec 16, 2009

Is that the same D8 that they locked the turbo up on a
couple weeks ago? Also how did it run with the Impulse Tnytro?

rmkid937 · Dec 16, 2009

Also rode with the D8 T on Sunday. It does kick butt!!! Not sure if it will run with the nytro for sure. Be very intresting to find out when he gets it dialed in though. It was the same sled that the oil pump burned out 2 wks ago.
