    New MPI turbo installation Help

    I got a great deal on a new MPI 190 kit on eBay for my 2014 viper xtx and I'm making sure I order everything I need for the install. I've read just about every turbo thread I can find on here but I just want to get a little advice. I'm new to turbos but I've worked on my sleds for years and...

    Big venom kit for turbo

    Last year I installed the big venom clutch kit for my viper XTX and it worked great. Over the next 2 weeks I'll be installing the MPI trail turbo. I'm 200 with gear and ride on and off trail. I'm handy with tools but I'm not a clutch tuning guru. Should I call up Lonn at thunder products and...

    What ever happened to Stingray719?

    does anyone know where Stingray719 has been? He used to be all over this forum and I looked and he hasn't posted since March. I hope he is ok. He made some very interesting posts and had some good suspension info that helped me a bunch.

    PCV map questions

    ive been reading on TY for the last few seasons about the power commander V fuel controller and I have a few questions that I know someone here will be able to answer. Basically I have found a good deal on a used one but the map is unknown. Are the maps uploaded to the unit via USB on a...

    Gearing question

    i have a 2014 viper xtx with stock gearing. I know that many people change gearing to achieve higher top speed. For me, 85 or 90 is plenty but the acceleration is what I'm interested in. Would gearing it "down" give me better acceleration? If so, does anyone have a suggestion of what...

    Any turbo guys have a spare Viper stock muffler?

    i have an Ulmer can on my viper and it's just too loud for me. It sounds great and is much quieter than the OSP that was on it when I bought it, but I guess I'm getting old or something. If anyone has one please PM me and I'll buy it from you. Thanks!

    Thunder Products 911 cover

    I've read their description and I still don't really get what this does. I have the thunder products big venom clutch kit which is a beast and needed no adjustments. If I were to ask for anything it would be slightly smoother engagement, but it doesn't bother me enough to start messing with...

    Viper thoughts after First ride

    yesterday I had the chance to ride my 2014 viper xtx for the first time!!! I put in about 40 miles in Northern Wisconsin. The trails are closed but I have a family member who owns a lot of land and I was able to ride there. Here is a list of what I did to the sled in the sled this fall before...

    Radiator purge?

    over the past few weeks I did a whole bunch of stuff to my viper including an Ulmer air box kit which required removing andd draining the radiator. Aside from topping it off, do I need go thru the whole purge procedure outlined in the service manual? I'm never done that before but the manual...

    Secondary clutch binding

    i remember reading a post a few weeks ago about the importance of filing off some little ridges on the secondary that prevent full shifting. I believe these ridges were left over from manufacturing and were supposed to be filed off at the factory. I've looked all over on here and I can't find...

    4th injector question

    i don't have a turbo but I read all the posts about them and darn it if I can't figure out what you all mean by a "4th injector". Wouldn't a 3 cylinder motor have 3 injectors? I'm clearly not understanding something and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Proper starting procedure?

    ive read a few different opinions here about what the proper starting procedures are for the viper. Is there any consesensus on what the best procedure is to avoid the chances of starter failure? I'm new to the viper this year and I've got a 2014 xtx.

    Can a bearing be "overpacked" with grease?

    Thanks to this site, I have cleaned and re-greased my driveshaft and jack shaft bearings. Today I started with the various wheels on the skid. After popping out the wheel bearing and cleaning out the grease with WD40 and air hose, I packed with fresh grease. After putting the wheel back on...

    Yxz motor related to snowmobile engines?

    first of all this machine is amazing! No way I could afford it but I still appreciate the beautiful engineering. I notice it is 998cc. Could this be to avoid import tariffs on engines over 1000cc? How is this related to the new viper motor? It is different cc but it doesn't make sense that...

    Secondary clutch assembly question

    I took my secondary apart to clean it and after I put it back together I realized that I didn't think about the orientation. I'm assuming it matters for balancing that I match it up like it was originally? Here are pictures of both sides. Does the letter "L" mean something? Thanks!

    J&T stealth big wheel kit installation

    after reading many posts about the stock trihub issues, and reading thru the stickies, I decided to get the J&T stealth big wheel kit for my 2014 viper xtx. The problem with the stock setup is that it can lock the whole track up if a bearing seizes since both wheels are connected. Here is a...
