it all makes sense now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]... Can't beat a alcohol, fuel injected, turbo, it won't be a comparison in the future.

Major- You are right about saving $$.

Increased boost = lower reliability BUT that is not that big a deal. All these hi-po machines are constantly being worked on, improved. If i was building a turbo DS or Raptor you still need a good platform to biuld from ( lower end)

KMS certainly has a very attractive price. A lot of bang for the buck


Quite a few have seen old Scoobs quad and when he is on, he is untouchable. It takes a big sac to launch that 120hp turbo. I would love to see a lot of guys that have given Scooby hell over the years make 1 full throtle pass on his turbo. I bet there altitudes would be slighty different LMAO

I think Bigger needs to send his wife's kawi and a check to KMS for a turbo job[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Video's are consistant with what I saw at Sand Mt.

On the line, the turbo can't seem to get out of its own way.

Sand Mt. is longer and that turbo just continued to build power. They didn't have a problem passing me.

You can see by looking at the video's the launch the Raptor's are getting - Look at that roost.

Seems a little engine work married to this turbo would get some great results. I would think a 720 would let that thing tear off the line and the turbo would let it build some great power to the top.

I think if the hill was longer (like Sand Mt.) these bikes would have had a tougher time against the turbo.

LOL, if I did that, I would need a Busa engine in my DS, instead of the Honda! LOL

I can see it now:

+8 chain conversion
Snowmobile type of clutch assembly
KMS turbo, with EFI with about 20 PSI!!!

OH MY!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

DuneMe - If the hill was longer we definitely would have been passed by the 11psi turbo. I think we would have had the 7psi, but I don't know he was pulling as well.

We didn't mess with gearing at all either and I'm sure both them and us would have picked up some bike lengths.

Jetting is another thing. With the fuel injection they know they are right on, I think we were close.

How do you do against Mario? He was trying to make the trip up there with us, but wasn't able to at the last minute.

When the turbo's were at Sand Mt Ut. they were able to display the power that they make, they just keep pulling and pulling. There is a learning curve on the turbo's, you can't launch them like a regular bike. The last day at Sand Mt we were really getting the launches down good and putting a hurt on the other bikes. Give the turbo owners time to feel out the launches and its going to be lights out for all of N/A riders.

I was lucky enough to ride them both, trust me those things can come out of the hole hard its just not as easy as a build motor. I was impressed at how hard these things pulled my *** up Sand Mt[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
