Sell and buy a turbo

 

Not really helpful, thanks. Besides, would get nothing for it with a bad motor. Also, I have the rig built how I want it and I don't really feel like dumping a ton of money into a new one to get it to the same stage as this one.

 

check out the bikeman performance site lots off big bore and cyl. head stuff. they make good power n/a. https://bikemanperformance.com/utv/polaris/rzr-1000.html

 

Thanks for the info quadfather171. I have been looking at their stuff and may end up getting some goods from them.

 

I was really hoping for more info. I guess everyone just jumps to a turbo. I know the turbos run well and are cheaper to make good power, but they do lack bottom-end as well as the usual turbo-lag. I do plan to add another car to my collection in a few years and it will be a turbo and be much wider. In the meantime, I think a rig with more grunt in the bottom and mid range with a more responsive snap would be dang fun, especially in the mountains.😁

 

Dang, I better quit using our turbo on trails in the mountains...
You really should get out and drive a turbo, I think you've been misled.

 

it wont be cheap but there knocking on stock turbo power levels with an n/a big bore.

 

The turbos have very little lag. It’s so tiny it spins up quickly. In fact I drove my friend turbo and it definitely is jumpier off the line than my XP. The low end torque on the turbos is definitely more than NA. In fact it’s quick from a stop.

 

I will admit that they are fairly responsive but there is still lag when working in the lower RPM range. The unfortunate turbo side effect... I have thought about doing an engine swap with my supercharged APEX motor pushing around 250hp. I just don't think the rest of the rig would hold up to that kind of instant torque and hard hitting power.

 

If thats what you really want to do you may want look at Sparks Racing. I believe they have built some pretty dependable BB XP1000 motors in the past.

 

I'm getting ready to drop my rig off to my builder and come up with a plan. Will tell all what the plan is soon...

 

I'm curious to see what you end up doing and how much it will end up costing.

I think you have been smoking something if you think the turbos have too much lag and aren't good enough.

You ride desert and mountains, i don't understand your thinking.

Maybe you need to change your gearing if you want more bottom end. Polsris is geared too high anyway, especially if you are running larger tires.

I'm definitely interested as i wish I had a turbo or supercharger on mine. I can have a good qtr mile head start floored and my buddies turbo will catch me in a matter of seconds

 

I'm excited as well as a bit nervous to see how this project turns out. Sure hope it's not a total waste of money upgrading the cams, etc. If the cylinder isn't trashed I will probably not do the big bore and just do the headwork as everyone seems to agree that is where the most performance gain can be had.

Now don't get me wrong. I've never said turbos "have too much lag nor are they good enough". I only stated that they do have lag. Heck, if I didn't have to do a complete rebuild of the motor I wouldn't be going this route. I would just sell this one and buy a new one with a turbo, lol.

With that being said, I'm not ready yet to drop $35K on a new top of the line SxS. Once the motor is rebuilt, this rig should serve me just fine for the next 3-5 years.

 

Any updates on what all you decided to do?

 

Unfortunately no. My builder had to go in for surgery. He's just about healed up enough to get back to my RZR. Will update soon, I hope.
