The great news is that their XP 1000 turbo kit has become significantly better then that first Pre-production kit I saw at the outdoor expo in February of 2014.
They have done countless hours of testing in every environment we ride in, (and at all elevations)
They have found the weak points of the RZR, and know what power levels each weak points starts to fail. Essentially they have fine tuned the kit to a point that I feel extremely confident with their recommendations for my goals.
My goals for my RZR are simple.
I want "substantially" more power than a Polaris XP turbo makes, but I want maximum reliability. I don’t want to always be having to fix things because the manufacturer of the kit didn’t do enough testing to find the weak spots & fix them.
(Been there/Done that)
I want to run pump gas.
If I want to turn up the boost, I can add some race fuel & dial up the boost on the dial, but I don’t want to have to run race fuel all the time.
Now that they have control of the factory computer, can make custom tunes, and can reprogram timing curves, they have a "pump gas, no engine mod" turbo kit that still makes quite a bit more power than the factory Polaris XPTurbo does. However, for my build, I’m going all the way with an engine build.
I went down the options list on the Boondockers.com website and ordered the parts that should keep me reliable with the well over 200 horsepower it is going to make.
For the engine we are adding (9.5-1) JE pistons, Carrillo H-beam connecting rods, head studs, and their automatic timing chain tensioner.
(The Pistons & connecting rods are much stronger AND much lighter than the Polaris parts, so the whole rotating assembally will be balanced, the cilinder and cilinder head decked before reassembly.)
I also chose one of their HUGE upgraded radiators to keep the big 4 seater cool with over double the original horsepower.
Other upgrades include their billet throttle body adapters, Ripp-Tied Big Clutch kit, and the Garrett GTX2860 liquid cooled ball bearing turbo.
Before taking it up to the Boondocker shop I installed the Big Radiator & intercooler heat exchanger, the Wideband O-2 gauge, along with the heat shielding.
Here are some pictures.
I will post more after I get back from Boondocker shop in Idaho.
Stay tuned…
