Would be fun to see if it's for real or not.
If you are running a MPI Supercharger
- Thread starter christopher

From what I can find out, and all the reputable aftermarket guys will tell you this, the Cat 1100T maxes out at about 215HP with the stock turbo. That said, for $2000 in parts and maybe $1000-1500 in labor(head studs mainly) you can get a REAL 240HP with the Cat. I think where the Cat really makes up the money on the Yamaha is everything else. Suspension, steering, fuel tank, weight, etc. If you build it yourself it looks like a Yami is 22-25K, Cat is 17-19K for basically the same thing.
P
if anyone is doubting that the cat 1100 can make big power, go to haydays and see Glen Hall's sled run. its incredibly fast. last year it was Running right with the OSP yamahas which are in the 600hp range. Obviously it is heavily modified with a giant turbo, but its the 1100 motor.

Ya big money into that motor HUGE$
Is the update for the SC kits only? No updates for the MPI Turbo?
Interesting question.
I honestly don't know.
But it wouldn't surprise me if MPI offers it across the board.
Considering that MPI hash teamed up with Jim and Todd Zuccone, owners of Evolution Powersports. www.evoms.com
These guys are high performance turbo specialists in the European High-Performance sports car world.
I would be surprised if they only did the mapping for the superchargers.

Christopher that is great news for MPI customers. Their sled company is called Evolution Powersports. These are the guys that are doing great things with the Cat 1100T. Their HUGE advantage is in tuning. The Cat is running all the stock engine protection and elevation/condition compensation features. You aren't tuning and fiddling you are riding. The other area they bring to the sled world is their knowledge and design of turbochargers and compressor wheels. They are basically taking design work that was paid for by their Motorsports work and bringing it to sleds. There is not enough money in snowmobiles to pay for the technology they are now using on sleds. Lucky these guys are sledders or we would have never even seen the trick stuff they can do.
Correct you are.
Didn't know the sled sight was up yet.
But now I see it.
http://www.evopowersports.com/
I see they have created a section for YAMAHA SLEDS

But have not populated either one just yet.
ITS COMING THOUGH.

Good point!!!
It is always great to have peeps ideas and experiences to base our decisions on. I run Yamaha. I have run cat, doo and polaris. I really like the new polaris. Not saying I don't like the rest but the Po is the one that stands out in the handling department. Doo works great but doesn't fit me as well as Po. Kitty doesn't seem to work for me at all. i'm a short lightweight rider. The ladies were riding cat a year ago, now a lot are switching to Po. Very few are riding Doo. I am not comparing myself to the ladies... I ride a turbo Nytro... but I too know that the ladies are riding the sled that works for them. Most of the lady riders I know weigh in well under the male riders. They are less aggressive riders... not taking away from them because I have seen some of them that can probably give me a run for my $$$, but... realistically I see a lot of male riders as aggressive in comparison. This does not mean that Po has the ultimate ride it only means it is a sled that fits smaller frames and is easier to ride for smaller, lighter riders. This pretty much meets my dimensions and specs.
I am sure I have close to 500 km on the new pro last year. My Yammy is pushing the 4000 km mark. I have finally got to the point I am very comfy on the Yammy. In actuality, I miss my Yammy when I am not riding it. I have a snow check Po on order. I have a large dilemma... boost or no boost. It is a hard thing to go back to stock... but.... a stocker in the trailer as a backup is pretty sweet. Mind you a smoking, kick a$$ 2 stroke booster is an even cooler backup!!!
I spent a large $$$ on my Yammy. Was it required? Could I have done better? Could I have done it cheaper? These are questions that those of us who have been there done that can answer. I like to hear stories like this that point us in directions we would never have looked at if someone had told us before hand. I never had anyone to help me when I bought my sled. I'm not complaining... I love my sled... It is freaking awesome!!! I added Neils BOOST IT fuel system and it just plain rocks!!! I am actually considering his system for my new Pro.
For those considering the turbo option CAT has a wicked 4 stroke from the factory with simple upgrades. It is not my choice but it is a great choice for those who the sled fits.
Before you buy... talk or listen to the peeps here who have BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!
Keep smiling!!! Winters a comin!!!

Sorry gents... there is always controversy over what is best. I saw a Cat last year that was amazing! I have also heard stories of the Doo 4 stroke up and coming Kick Yammies butt!!! Never seen it!!! Setup and funding are the big factor. Yamaha is proven. Yamaha has a huge selection of kits to juice em up. The rest are behind on the four stroke tech. Cat is probably the one that stands out from the rest. I like the simple add on up to the 240 hp. I understand there is a 275 kit that is pretty much as easy. I saw the 240 kit, it worked very well. I spoke to a Cat dealer and he said no prob with 240 and warrantee.... seems good to me.... . Still My Yammy pulling 15 - 18 lbs c/w M-10 and 162 x 16 makes so many look like stockers.... I have been running 15 lbs boost consistently and occasionally pushed 18 for kicks. When you go past the 250HP mark it just gets more addicting!!! I may do some engine mods and do a fuel system upgrade for the next season and push the 18 lb limit of my system... just for kicks!!! I am seriously thinking my snow check pro needs a Boost It kit. Yep if that happens... Yammy is going for 22 lbs!!! Who knows Propane may be the next in line. The skies the limit!!!

i know what i learned...i buy a new sled...put a bigbore in..new frt and rear aftermarket skid...etc etc etc etc...
Why the heck didn;t i buy a used sled..!!...all my upgrades would have talen care of any issue a used sled would have had..
The savings buying used would have paid for a good portion of my aftermarket..
Dang...

but that is half the fun of it, customizing a brand new sled

i know what you mean, i did the same thing with my nytro last year, BUT i find it half the fun to research parts and build my own sled from scratch. im obviously not in this sport to save money! :face-icon-small-ton
