The hood is complete

You have to run the key switch as well, it will throw codes without it. We found this last year with the first installations of the bdx hoods. If you want you can splice air sensor into the factory wiring harness down by the ecu as well.

What I am pretty sure I am going to do is to solder the wires for the air sensor and extend them on both ends so that the disconnect clip is outside of the air shelf. Then mount the sensor into the airbox at the nose of the sled, run the wires along the edge of the hood and clip back together. Zip tie or aluminum tape out of the way. That's the current thought. I looked at how to re-engineer the air shelf, but it looks like the shelf needs the air from all of the drilled vents. So, cutting a slit and then plastic welding it back together, seems like the best option at this point. Mountain fit said drill a hole in the hood and run the wiring harness up thru the hole drilled into the hood but it seems that would be a large hole to get the plug thru. Next to check to see if the wiring harness is long enough. Hopefully! I really don't want to splice into the harness and lengthen all of the wires.

When will it start throwing codes cause I have ran it a few times for 4-5 minutes and haven't had anything come on???

It may have had something to do with splicing the wires in, but after about 10 min of actual riding it would throw the code.

Unplugged the key with my bdx install. 4 rides on it now and no codes

On my 2013 last year I did the CPC headlight deleat and never used the key switch. I had somebody tell me this year that I needed to have my key hooked up or else it wouldn't run right. So I plugged the key into the harness and just tucked the switch in behind the windshield and I couldn't tell any difference. Maybe it might affect some sleds and not others. Or maybe that's telling you that you have something wrong in your wiring somewhere else on the sled?

mtn fit intake?

I have this hood with the intake shelf and vents they sell. The vents made it 5 minutes before they plugged up. Took the windshield off and helped. Put some arctic cat nose vents(the stick on ones)on and fixed the problem but they seem to leak snow and when you hit a bump or get vertical the snow in your hood will cause a bog. My hood weighs 10.2 lbs. Hood is great but the intake setup does not work, make your own intake and skip the shelf. The led light they sell works good. The hood also holds no snow where the stock one held snow in front of the headlight.

How about doing a boondocker style filter out of the hood? Routed directly from the nose of the led and out of the hood?
Or doing something like the BDX have? Draw air from the front of the hood, the center part?

bgraff1 · Feb 24, 2014

this is how i would run the intake. much easier install, no worry about vents plugging or rivet heads falling into the intake. mount the factory hood nose piece to the sled, install a block off plate on the factory intake piece with rivets and silicone, relocate air intake temp sensor to the top of the air box and drill a 4" hole in the top of the air box. install flex hose and silicone to the air box. where you want to run the filter to is up to you.

bgraff...who makes that carbon fiber (looking or?) dash plate? Is that a whole nose section or just top piece? Is anyone using this piece, esp with top shelf piece for turbos? Anyone else come to the table with different intakes/noses and dash pieces other than Mountain Fit and the bdx nose piece for BD Turbo's????

How have these hoods been holding up? What's the fit and finish like? I got my sled almost perfect for me. Just looking to lighten it up a bit over the summer

sftr · Apr 25, 2014

Mine has held up great, smashed on trees and rolled over all the time, stronger than stock because it's all one piece. Fit isnt perfect but close enough for an aftermarket deal. I bought a blem hood so the standard one might fit better. Makes a major difference in handling with the can I put on with it.

This hood hinge open?

Weight savings over stock w/ vent kit?

exman04 · May 21, 2014

It uses the factory black piece that goes into the intake boot that goes to the throttle bodies. And has one of their light weight shelfs in it. Weight of hood with tach, vents, windshield, air intake and everything else to make it like for like with the stocker it's about a 11lb weight loss. My numbers could be off a little bit but feel confident in a solid 10 lbs.

The hood is complete
