I been think about a turbo for my trooper I have a couple of question.On the fuel management they have 12 :1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 which one do you used.Do you have to still used your catalytic converter and your two 02 sensor.Does anybody know the diameter of the exhaust manifold is.

I can't help you on the tech specs but I can say that putting a turbo on my Trooper 2 yrs ago was the best single modification I have done. The improvement in drivability is staggering. My system was installed by Scott at Unleashed Motorsports in Cottonwood, AZ. I don't know if he is still up there or not. The catalytic converter and O2 sensors are all stock.

Scott in AZ uses 12:1 on his turbos. He also uses 2 fuell pumps to get the fuel pressure up 130-140 pounds. I have a Vortech fuel management valve that I am no longer using. It's nearly new. Also have the kit for changing the fuel ratios 12:1 10:1 8:1 6:1 4:1. I'll sell it for $125 with the kit if your interested.

Do you know what kind of power you put down to the wheels before and after the turbo? Has it been dyno'd? Do you think it added power lets say lower than 2500 rpms?

No dyno info.

I can tell you that because of the close gearing of the transmission, there never seems to be a situation where boost is unavailable. I can feel and hear the turbo at lower RPM's, but the boost guage is around 0, so it does not seem to measure any output until around 2200 - 2500 rpm.

In fact, I dialed it down from the 10lbs I was getting to around 7lbs so that on long grades/hills (like Oldsmobile at Glamis) I could stay in the throttle. I was haveing to feather it at 10lbs because it would try to spin through the rev limiter (6000rpm) too quickly.

The best part is I do not have to concern myself so much with weight. I can carry the spare, use Maxxis Bighorn tires in all conditions, even deep sand at Glamis, bring my wife and dog, etc, etc. Just more enjoyable all the way around. But I am not a racer, I am in it for the long haul. I use the power to get where I am going, not to see how fast I can go.

Randy,

How has the powertrain held up with the turbo? Also, there is already cooling issues in stock form. Are those compounded with a turbo?

Thanks,

Paul

I have never had any heating issue of any kind. When I thought I had heating issues when I first got the Trooper, it turned out to be the guage calibration. Since that was resolved, it stays right in line. I live in Phoenix and spend a lot of time in the desert so I would think I would push the heating issue as much as anyone.

I replaced 1 CV Axle (not sure it really needed it, but rebuilt left rear bearing and wanted to be conservative) and upgraded to the CV driveshaft. I always use 4wd to balance the load on the output shaft which I was told is a weak spot. But other than that, just normal upkeep and adjustment. I have over 2500 km on the buggy and probably more than 1500 km of that was after the Turbo install.

I am a pretty conservative driver, (my wife is usually with me to keep me in line), but I still get into situations where I use every bit of power/suspension that I have.

      Now that I have done the LI-Ion batt conversion, I need to do something about the suspension
      By Kingfish
      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      2013 hisun 500 efi utv. No fuel, no spark
      By Robby
      Hello, I have a 2013 500 utv hisun. Was running ok and cut out while parked. Bike will not start now. It turns over, but won't fire. I have no spark and no fuel. I replaced fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plug, cdi, voltage rectifier and all the fuses and relays. Could bad stater cause no fuel because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. Any info on where to start looking for problem.
