I'm watching a snowmobiling show, SnowRax, on the outdoor channel. The Polaris Supertrax snowmobile is pumping out 150 horses from a 800cc Liberty engine. Our horsepower output is ridiculous in today's market. Someone needs to upgrade / improve our power-plant or replace some Design Engineers. JMHO!

Your right but our engine is basically designed for fuel economy and long life with emmision control for the automobile market where as the snowmobile engine is built as a race engine right to start. Our engine I beleive is a near clone to the engines they use to use in ralley cars overseas and they get a lot of horespower out of them. If the crank and rods and pistons were changed to preformance stuff along with other stuff like superchargers, I think our engines could turn out 200hp. But, were going to try it with your engine first I don't want to blow mine up. I even cut my rev limit down to 5700 RPMs just to stay conservative. I don't miss the revs nor need them.

Sadly it is not just the engine. IF we pulled 200hp our of our engine the rest of the drivetrain would be trash very quickly. Just venting! Even my race car has to run a car Toyota diff mated to the 1250cc Yamaha motorcycle engine to with-stand the power. Plus our parts are not CHEAP! You can purchase a used BMW diff for $250 but can't touch a Joyner diff for that! Still venting! My last set of Brake pads cost $6 / corner and now they are $15 / corner. Things aren't getting better! Still venting.

Have you seen the maintenance schedule for some of those things your venting about and thier horsepower? My bosses husky super motard your supposed to replace the cyl piston and rod after every 10 hours or less. Crank at 20 hours. This is "extreme" use. I would not vent too hard about the pricing. As parts become more readily available in the near future you will start to see some of the pricing drop. Enjoy your buggy for what it is. If you wanted fast and lots of power then maybe you should have bought something else? You say you want low end power, that snowmobile doesn't make any power below 7000 rpm. Your comparing apples and oranges. I like my joyners and will stick with them. You could get a all new crew in and redesign everything but then what? You buggy turns into a 17k buggy. Who wants that? I feel you on this but then again what are you really expecting? Go hop on the waiting list for the new rzr and let us know how it performs.

My CRF450R owner's manual says you need to do a top end rebuild at 65 hours. Have had it for 7 years with 400-500 hours. Have never had to change a thing other than oil & filter and it has a ton of low end. Thanks for a light at the end of the tunnel on parts. High prices does bring alternativea into the market which is a good thing. At the time WE WERE the go to power but CanAM & RZR have raised the bar. Hope your & Silverbullet's aftermarket efforts are fruitful or we WILL be left behind as a product and in a drag race. More power doesn't mean we have to give up low-end, waiting for your fixes.

      This post will explain how to hook up your PC to the ECU of a Hisun/Coleman/Etc UTV to be able to read error codes & engine parameters for troubleshooting purposes.
      This is applicable to all small engines using the Delphi MT-05 ECU. This should cover all fuel injected Hisun models, as well as various other Chinese FI engines, as the Delphi MT-05 ECU seems to be the favored ECU solution.
      Even though we get actual engine error codes to display on the dash, sometimes we have “pending codes” (not yet confirmed by the ECU) or other intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose, for example a poorly connected sensor that may give intermittent false readings, or a sensor that’s putting out bad date, but not bad enough for the ECU to realize.
      The setup requires 2 cables, which are available for around $25 combined, a PC with a USB port, and some charityware software called “HUD ECU Hacker”. This gives the same functionality as the $300 dealer code scanner for a fraction of the price.
      In searching I found info about HUD ECU Hacker, but I have yet to see info anywhere about how to hook it up to a Hisun, so I took the leap and bought some cables, and made it work. I will show a step by step of how to do so in post two.
      I will be breaking this down into 2 posts:
      Delphi ECU Info & Overview (This post) System setup & use Delphi ECU Info (Skip ahead to the next post if your eyes glaze over technical details)
      The Delphi MT-05 ECU was developed to allow small engines to use fuel injection. A fuel injection system requires feedback from various sensors to operate efficiently. This feedback allows the adjustment of ignition timing, fuel injection volume, etc to efficiently and cleanly produce the most power possible from a given engine.
      The MT-05 ECU has a number of sensors that are required for proper functioning including; Coolant temp, crankshaft position, intake temp, intake pressure, exhaust O2, throttle position, as well as some other optional sensors that are used on more complex vehicles.
      From the sensors the ECU adjusts: Fuel injector timing/pulse, Idle air control valve, and ignition coil

      The Delphi MT-05 puts out diagnostic data, however it is not ODB2 like a modern car, where is where it gets tricky reading it. There are three options, there is an old 16 bit piece of software Delphi has that is not able to run on a modern computer, there is the motorscanner tool for dealers ($300), or there is freeware HUD ECU Hacker with the proper cables.

      Hello everyone, second time posted looking for assistance. First time you all were a great help!
      I have an 2013 XY Powersports 600GKE UTV, sweet little machine when she was running. My youngest last fall get it covered in mud, and then blew the engine. I mean she doesn't start any more, and we've even tried rebuilding it since he's in a Vocational School for Power Sports and Diesel course, but no luck.
      One of the other members (NVM"something") was really knowledgeable about the machine I had and the engine, all I can tell you is its a CFMoto. If I can't find a replacement, does anyone know if there is one that it can be easily swapped out with, or even minor modifications.
       
      Thanks!

      Looking for information on installing a OBD port or a lite to read codes in ECM. 
      I can not find a OBD port or a lite to read codes on this R2 with 800cc. 
      I have code readers and adapters for most ATV's. From what I've found so far. They don't have a connection for to read codes. I may be wrong. That's why I'm asking. 
      This R2 has had new IAC, TPS, MAP, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump replaced. This was done by neighbor to try to stop surging. It still surges on start up and then settles down. But once you hit the accelerator it revs up to 2000+ rpm and stays till you block off IAC port in throttle body with finger. Once you do that it once again settles down and idles perfectly.
      I want to know what the ECM is reading to help dio it.
      This joyner is the first one I've run across. Well second one in a week. (my neighbors 2 of them) The other was a trooper with the 1100cc chery motor that had been setting for years. After cleaning up the fuse box connections. It runs like a top. Had to replace all gages with aftermarket gages. Water, oil, gas, amp. Only problem one was the water temp using original sending unit. Had to install 150 ohm resistor on the input wire to get it to read correctly + - 5 degrees. Close enough. Gas sending unit was/is for a boat tank 6" tall. All SS so it should last forever. 
      thanks Dan D. aka staind

      Im new to the UTV world but not new to the fabrication world. Me and my friend have been focusing on designing and building a rallye-type setup with a custom chassis and a single seater. With suspension design at a good point, we want to start work on the chassis; however, there is one big hiccup in the way, and that is the powertrain. We've been going back and forth on this for quite some time now and realized that we cant find any great options. We want the engine to be behind the driver and mounted between the seat and the rear axle with a transaxle setup. We aren't going to need any power for the front wheels, as this is an RWD application (Toyota MR2 style setup). It also needs quite a small engine; I would love for it to be 100+ hp and possibly be turbocharged down the line, but power isn't a huge deal right now. Right now its a battle between a UTV engine X trans or a bike engine with a diff.
      Although crotch rocket engines are super cool, they aren't built for high-torque applications, and a differential setup for one can range up to $6k, which is pretty ridiculous for our initial budget. (We are not going chain-driven as we have bad experience in that area.).
      That's what leads us to UTV x Snowmobile drivetrains. I was initially surprised to find out how much power they have and realized it could be a great option with how they are designed for high torque applications. It is a difficult situation to find a good setup. 
      The transaxle needs to be either a manual or a sequential setup. And although there are some great engine options, with my limited knowledge in the UTV world, I have yet to find a transaxle that fits or works well with those engines.
      So my questions are this: Does anyone know of a good combo or might be able to lead me down a direction? Could it be damaging to an AWD transmission if nothing is connected to the front output shaft and only the rear diff?

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?
