Boysen or v force?

I think my 19 800 needs reeds

If I buy fancy reeds for my 22 800 can I put the low use stock 22s in the 19?

I see the boysens have different part numbers for the 18-20 vs the 21-23 but the v force has the same number throughout.

Guess I could cross the factree numbers

Cross checked
Same stock reeds both years
0907-013

$71.06 x 4 stock $284.24

$329 Boysen

$258 v force

Which is better on a 22 with a jaws big shark?

Im not a fan of the short life span of Vforce. Never ran Boysen but hear lots of good reviews on Cats.

I think the difference between the 18-19 and 20 and newer is the throttle body boot itself. Early ones have an oil line in the boot and later don’t, or vice versa. Boyeson usually replaces that boot, hence the different part numbers.

Doesn't the 21-23 have different cylinders vs the 18-20? Could that also be a reason for the 2 different part #s

All I run is the Vforce 3 in the c tec 800 never experienced a failure in Turbo or non applications/ pipe or stock

That is way more work than I would want to do. Reeds are not an easy project on these sleds!

What did you go with after all ?

 

[Readymedic]

All I run on my cats are Boysen. 925, 1000, 800, and 1010..luv them. Never had any issues with chipping..

 

[joshkoltes]

I bought the boysens for the 2022 and will put the 22s in the 19.
I'm being super lazy and haven't done it yet.
So many projects, so little ambition

That will be a few beers project.. not my favorite thing to do for sure..

I'm a little late to the conversation, but... Ran Boysens on my 12 & 15 Suz. noticeable, great improvement.
Per DynoTech, the Boysens made good power on the Suz. On the Ctec, the V-force showed better gains than the Boysen's.
Now whether that is "bought & paid for" results... IDK. I have installed V-force on my '22 Mtn. Cat. results (yet to be determined)

 

[joshkoltes]

It really wasn't that hard

 

[sno*jet]

its a b!tch. I would dowse the motor with oil while they are out incase it takes a while for oil to pump in or you get an air bubble. I forgot to and my sled (zuke) did not smoke at all for first minute or so of run time also tip front of sled up and idle it to get air out of cooling system. that's weird on the grease on yours. Interesting boysen moves the oil lines, I think that would have turned me off. how's she run, any difference?

 

[joshkoltes]

Haven't had snow to try it, and my pickup broke. Gotta pretend to be a diesel mechanic for a bit
The oil line gets moved but it might be for the better. The reeds get a bit of straight lube on em might prolong life?
My 19 has the oil lines in the cage too.
I don't think I got any air in em, at least I was trying not to.
That grease, I don't know. The engine was replaced at 70 miles and our local dealer does alot of things that raise questions. Like leave spare bolts in the bellypan to go through the clutches
I think I forgot to fill the coolent back up, thanks for the reminder!

I see bdx sells a different set of boyesen reeds for 20 and newer from the 18-19 reeds. I would assume the difference would be the oil line nipples

 

[joshkoltes]

Yep. The newer set just comes with extra parts to plug the oil holes in the case
