Default What do you think of the Polaris Diesel

I wonder if anyone makes a turbo sized down small enough for a one-lunger of that size? Maybe a person could just buy a HO engine, loosen up the valves so they rattle, and dump a little diesel in the fuel tank to make it smoke like a diesel. It probably would be a cheaper way to hit 40, and you would still get most of the effect.

LOL Yeh, but 50 more HP on a Scrambler 500 would be awesome!!! Oh well didn't give any numbers on the Scrambler but I just wanted to show that they do exist! I did say good turbo huh? I take that back and re-phrase it as " hey here is a turbo for an atv!"

I have only seen one and it was at a ATV pull off, basically it won everything, nothing else even came close, but yes, it was loud.

LMAO - I work for a farm equipment company our biggest tractor uses a Cummins 15 liter Diesel (oh and it is TURBO charged) it produces over 500 hp and around 1700lbs of torque. I am trying to figure out how to put in my Big Bear so I can go ride with the Polaris Diesel Guys, but I think it might make me SLOW.
