Boondocker turbo kits ?

[stephenpen]

I have a line on a low mile boondocker turbo kit for an apex.
How well does the boondocker kit work. Is there anyhting I should look out for. I think its the smaller 25?? turbo. I would be flat land riding on pump gas. What kind of hp could I expect out of this kit.

if your riding lower elevations just on pump gas it should be a blast... its not going to make quite the power some of the large kits make, but should be plenty snappy, and the kits have been around for a while, so most of the tricks to keep them rocking are easy to find info on.

HP per # of boost like i said might be down a hair from the larger turbo setups, but coming off a non turbo sled its going to be a handful, especially on a trail sled. if you headshim it boost on pump gas should be more then i would know what to do with if i was stuck on trails.

hp # will be around 220hp at 13 psi of boost with the head shim.

Do I have to shim the head. If I don't shim it what would be the limit for boost. How easy is it to shim the head. I spend alot of time in the garage so I would like to do it myself.

IMO, at lower elevation for pump fuel the shim is a must.. if your mechanically inclined and take your time you can install one no problem. i had never taken a 4 stroke motor apart before and knocked mine out pretty easily.

play with the octane fuel calculator on the top to see what pump fuel could do for you with an without a shim.

WITH head shim 10-12 psi on fresh 91 octane pump gaz with proper tuning is okay...

more than that require MORE octane.


That is sea level

Running 94 octain with 14psi at sealevel and a shim..A/F s are around 12-13..

Only problem is 94 octane is not always available.

I carry a bottle.. .no not that kind..a boost bottle..lol..Also 5 gallons when needed..

a 2 gal tank of c16 would be good to I think... when tank is empty, you can empty the c16 in tank, then fill up with 87 octane and you should be good to go.
