New Guy / New Sled 2003 RX1 Mtn. Turbo

[Kuzko]

I built my own system a few years back. I put the turbo the other direction than what you have yours set at.

I was worried about having this much heat directly under the gas tank so I built some heat shields. You have to be real careful when fueling so you don't spill any gas because it will get down around the hot turbo.

Nice job Ken. I had the same idea as what you did, my turbo was just put there as mock up since i still had oil lines connected, not sure where ill mount it just yet. i'm pretty conservative when fueling my sleds i rarely make a mess but your right ones gotta watch a fire could break-out pretty fast with the heat just below.

If you need any ideas or suggestions I have a lot of pictures from my build.

Been alittle while since the last update but progress is coming along, ended up making myself a log style header for time being so i can continue working on getting the rest of the sled done when come back and make a stainless. Was lucky enough to find a 06 apex being parted out locally and grabbed the reverse chain case from it and got that installed. Next was to look at keeping this sled a 162 or downsize to a 151.

Putting the 2 tracks side x side there was little difference in length and that holz skid would look better under my rev 800 anyway at 151 length. So I pulled apart my mod sled and robbed the M-10 with the 141 track and did quick test fit, prefer this length much more and looks like it gonna be a 141 going forward. Now it onto installing a M-1o under this rx1 and modify the tunnel length to suit.
