This one is in a RXC.❄️

We've had 2 early builds scatter completely, lots of pieces.

There were a couple piston updates, and they're pretty damn solid engines after that

We'll have to ask @f7ben to explain it but he knows he's wrong and is scared to post anything about it with you here. Next door he's WAYYYY smarter than you though 

He really needs to wire his wastegate shut. 

There are a lot of people  way smarter than me on the interwebz apparently.

It was awesome when he pulled that rabbit out of his hat, legendary.

I've seen some pretty wild theories invented online.

This one rates right up there and he should be reminded every time he opens his mouth.

@f7ben are you ready to back this up yet or continue to hide???

Still confused by this. What happens when you increase MGP above Baro by another method, is it then considered a turbo?

not DTR's Dyno... but close enough if comparing the 800 to 858. 

 

I'm fairly sure the first year Ctech 800 was 152 out of break in at DTR... and shot flames like a muthafucka!  🔥

this said... Cat kept calling the CT8 a '160hp class' engine which drove me f'ng nutz!  the moment Cat calls the 858 a 170hp class engine I'll probably lose my shit completely... 

 

 

 

 

We didn't even see 160 with a pipe and tune

I care about overall power of a machine and various parts of a machine's engine.  Way more than involved than just a peak dyno number.  And I care most about the overall package of the machine, which the engine is just one part of that.

If you guys want to bleed your panties over a preproduction dyno number being 3hp less than you expected and thinking it's the end of the sled, have at it.  Sounds like fun.

it is not 3 hp less than what i hoped for. anything under 175 was going to be a let down for me

it's not ricky quality, but definitely stupid

Hey at least you venture out of the HCS safe space unlike some in here. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if this forum got combined with the CE and some of these guys had to sink or swim.

Also nothing I find more cringe worthy is freeloaders complaining about the site. SMFH

i dont. there is too much stupid, and i dont have time to address it all

Now we wait and see if the drama queen can put AK440 on ignore. I doubt it but we'll see.

your sig line is giving me anxiety, it's just so wrong

It is hard for me to accept people actually care about a few hp either way, I know it's true but hard to accept that level of stupidity.  Hell the doo 600 makes more than the cat 600 on dyno, and snowtrax shit all over the doo 600 in comparison to the cat 600, HOW CAN THAT BE DON'T THEY KNOW THE DYNOS REPORTS!?!?!?!!!!?!!!!!??!!? 

 

it's amazing for me to accept that ANYONE wouldnt care about HP numbers. absolutely unreal. i think you'd be happy on a 340 fan, with bogie wheels

Anyone else notice how lean the thing is being ran too? I don’t know if that’s normal AFR with sleds now with epa shit but if I’m tuning a vehicle and see 13.anything we’re shutting that pull down and piling fuel into the tune. 

Thats not terrible for an na motor. Would i like to see the peak  power at 12.6 though? Absolutely. And peak torque around 12.2

3 minutes ago, mnstang said:

Zero people here can utilize the power on a trail.  The sled comes down to handling, ergos, chassis, weight, suspension, and power delivery.  And color of course.  I'm sure a couple magazine chasers care alot about exact dyno numbers but nobody serious does.

Cant utilize 165 horse on a trail? I respectfully disagree as i use twice that

Am I wrong? Who is to say whose Dyno is correct? Pipe temp, air temp? There is no winner on this. Unless you are mental, or Krom.

You just answered every question i had about you, thank you.

Conversation over

Just now, ZR6000RR said:

Day to day, dyno to dyno, different results. What am I missing? What you believe? 

How much time do you have setting up, calibrating or running dynos?

16 minutes ago, ZR6000RR said:

Well do it on a production engine. I will be proven correct,  as usual. Again, a dyno is worth nothing but on the day it is run. Fact!

I dont think you understand anything about dynos, or facts.

10 minutes ago, ZR6000RR said:

Horsepower is theoretical. ((Calculated) torque is real. Dyno an engine one day then another two days later, the numbers will change. Were they chilling the air? This year? Probably not. Continue being a New York Brain dead idiot. You are what you are. Pure stupidity!

That's what correction factors are for, genius

We'll be heading to jaws to develop a twin pipe/porting combo this summer, hopefully we can make good gains but i had really hoped for more to work with.

That is @f7ben's very specific definition of turbocharged 

It rates right up there with 17xcr600's gyroscopic effect comments.

Pure idiocy

He got owned already and has been hiding at TBP ever since 

holy shit......just.....nevermind

Years ago when I owned HeadSledRacing I had a lot of cylinder and crank work at a place in Thunder Bay. The owner Rick and I became good friends and he invited me to bring an xlt crank personally and had his crank guy Dennis walk me through an entire rebuild and gave me a tutorial on how to check cranks. It was very interesting.

where did you get that retarded sig line?

Look at Duluth MN.  1900-1940 had snowfall in 50" ranges.  Ever since then it has increased significantly.  That's pretty great change of climate!

1900 appears to have been peak global warming.  But hey Al Gore and Greta says...

Al gore invented the internet, and global warming. The man is a genius!

I've had talks about.

Have you ever seen a sad retard??  I haven't. There are 2 angry ones in here though.

The Simpsons did an episode about it.  They found a crayon up homers nose, into his brain from when he was a little kid.  After removing it he was one of the smartest in town.  By the end of the episode he jammed a crayon back in, so he could be dumb and happy.

Must be why yamaha guys are so happy

I always wonder if it's better to be retarded. 

one other thing i'll throw out there for the guys that may be just starting to see ethanol in their area, and we learned here the hard way, it is a great cleaner.

and the downside to that, is that tanks and lines that have never had it before will get all those years of crap cleaned off the inside when they initially start to switch over to it. and that sludge goes right through the pumps to your car, truck, sled or whatever.

after switching over, stations were seeing massive amounts of sleds go down shortly after fueling up.

and, it will also clean out the entire inner lining of any older fuel line produced before ethanol fuel existed, putting a nice pile of black goo in your pump, filter, injectors etc

That's been our way of dealing with it ... if we HAVE to put in ethanol fuel we want to make sure we burn through it and don't store the sled any longer than necessary with it in the tank.  Fortunately for us around here, 91-non ethanol is pretty common and what we use in all of our off road stuff, including mowers, chainsaws, etc. 

you'll actually make a bit more power with the ethanol too if you can tune for it. when rules allow, we add a fair amount of pure eth to the race fuel and have measured the gains on the dyno and track.
for anything carbed, we usually add about 2 jet sizes to compensate for it.
storage is a month max in my experience. 

the 2 best fuel treatments i've tested to stop the phase separation issues are ethanol shield, and startron
