mt t cat

just love to see those 1k tripples, she's a beauty.

Looks good, a nice cheap up grade is to find a set of 1m bars, there some of the nicest factory bars made, also try and find some used m series skis, then you wont get snow thrown in you face all the time from those parabolics. Nice clean sled, Have you done any motor work.

Flamedcummins · Oct 16, 2009

Thanks guys, already put a word into my buddy if he decides to change his bars out....No motor work as of yet, i have yet to ride it bought it end of last season...literally thought of peeling the reg stickers off my skidoo to take it out once lol...Hasnt even seen snow in about the last 3 years, went through all the basics luckily the guy did "summerize" it when he was done so tank was empty etc, cleaned up the carbs and she fires and runs great. Got a feeling riding with my buddy with his nitrous snortin m1000 next summer she'll be getting some work

What is avail or what can you do on these triples, this is my first cat, always rode ski-doos i know exhaust systems are expensive as hell, i'd like to add some displacement to her and some boost as well in the future

Going West · Oct 16, 2009

Turbos ans triples dont really get along. These motors have huge HP potential while staying n/a. I never personaly wrenched on one but ive seen and rode with some very impressive t-cats. I think a real good mod would be droping and rolling the chain case, the older cats had a very poor attack angle. Then a little porting and pipe work and lose the counter balance shaft to save some weight. Its not hard to get these things over 200 hp, It'll be a monster in the big bowls.

I would say put on a clear 1M gas tank and a 1M seat or Boss seat if ur budget allows, u can loose about ten or so lbs.The 1M bars also as u've been told about r great. A drop and roll would be good if u think u could tackle it.A light weight hood could help with her nose heaviness, check Mountain Fit and BR Tech this can save u ten or more lbs. Look for an exhau st on here and other sled sites and ebay too. I've picked up some good parts from these places for cat triples. Big bore kits for these sleds seem to be hard to find and can be expensive still, but keep looking and u will find some gems once in a while.

I know where a 1050 CPC engine for one of these is if anyone is interested in it. I believe complete with ignition, carbs and exhaust.

Is that so? What kinda power that make? Drop and roll shouldnt be a issue do welding and fab for a living so that kinda stuff dont bother me....There is a 1m seat for sale out here cheap i may have to take a look at it

Going West · Oct 17, 2009

If your not afraid of the Drop and Roll id definitly do it, it will make a huge difference. I wouldnt be afraid to go a little further then the 1M's. We droped out 05 900's and it was by far the biggest gain we had, could not even belive it was the same sled. I dont remember how far we went it came with the Vanamburge tunnel we installed so maybe if you give them a call they could help you out.

Idcatman3 · Oct 17, 2009

I'll check with the guy and get more details on the engine. If you do get a 1M seat, you can cut your tank (as long as it's the 12 gallon model, not the 10 or 13) to fit the seat. You don't actually need the 1M tank. I do like having the clear tank though, as the gas gauges really suck.

Flamedcummins · Oct 18, 2009

saw a few pics of that clear tank...not to bad of an idea, now would it be worth running k+n's on it or any kind of mods i can do to the airbox....I'm really really debating doing some port work but really think that may not be a good idea right before the season..I basically need to hang with my buddies m1 this year...next year i'm going for his head

sprockethead · Oct 18, 2009

My son has run both filters w/ outerwears and the SLP hi-flow set-up on his 00 ZRT. We like the SLP set-up best of the two. Here's a link to SLP's site:

On the gas tank u do have a 12 gallon tank on ur sled, so u could just cut the seat pan off and use it with a 1M seat or get the 1M clear tank the choice is yours.

Going West · Oct 18, 2009

I ran K&N with prefilters on my 900 and liked it, had to jet up 2 sizes so im sure thier flowing more then the air box, plus youll never bog from a clogged intake in deep snow. It also makes jetting 500% easier, just extend your fuel lines a little and youll be able to jet the whole thing in like 5 min or less.

Flamedcummins · Oct 19, 2009

Man i'm glad you guys know what the hell your doing lol i know that old summit i got real well, rebuilt it pretty much from the ground up last year but taking a mint perfectly good running sled and being a lil hesitant to hack it up and figure out how this one goes together lol.
Also i picked this thing up for a 1000 at the end of last season...guy had it stored at the shop he worked at and boss said it needed to go, he had nowhere to put it since he was in a apartment, said it had to be gone that day, so as i was heading for the bank my brother was bringing my dads trailer up from bout 30 miles south to meet with me so i could head up and get it, offered the guy 800 and 3 other people had shown up as well the one dude was waving 800 so i told him i'd give him 1000, he was asking 1500..which i did have on me just in case, has 1200 miles and the only thing thats wrong with it is its missing the snowflap(minor minor) and the hood has a slight warp on the right side where someone didnt have it on the outside of the pan and the can got it a bit warm...I love this thing..itchin to go ride it

This one was a complete accident..was on craigslist looking for a camper for my boss at lunch and came across it..had been on there a few days he started at 3k

Idcatman1 · Oct 21, 2009

You should feel guilty, I know I would (for a few minutes)

Arctic Thunder · Oct 21, 2009

We ran UNI pod filters. Like others said this really made the jetting easy.

As for the counter balance shaft. You can't take it out. It drives the oil pump I believe. But we did install a straight shaft to ditch the weight. No issues, worked fine.

We also ran different needles, I would have to do some serious digging to see what they were. I believe they were the ZR needles.

We also ran the 4 degree timing key, PSI pipes and stingers. I know, I know PSI. But man they worked well.

We always spun them up around 9100rpm. Ran a yellow secondary spring with a 49deg helix. And 18/40 gearing. Could have been 17/39 gearing. Again long time ago.

Our biggest problem with these motors was the counter balance gear for the oil pump. It would bust a tooth then would bind up knocking the bottom end out of the thing. Was a very sick feeling to be in a good climb then BAMM!!

Here is an old video that I posted in the Video section years ago.

Man those triples sound good. I miss that.
