I'm considering the swap from a 2005 Skidoo Renegade, 144"15"2,5" 827cc RKT (158-168hp) to a Turbo'd Vector.
The sled would be heavily modified, steering rod, REV gastank/panels/seat, 144" 2"-2,5" track and so on.
Set aside that I haven't sold my sled yet, the talk Ive been hearing about the carburated T-Vector has the "flaw" of using carbs. IE: When rough trail riding, (bad Scandinavian trails) the sled can cough "studer". And when boondocking, tilting/rolling (somewhat frequently when stuck) the sled will be hard to start.
The turbo'd Vectors that are sold here in Sweden are almost all of them MCX rear mounts, and "I've been told" that the turbo lag of a carburated sled is more noticeable that a fuel injected one.
So, MCX has ended their production of T-Vector kits, a Supercharger from MPI would be really nice, but out of the question.. .
Anyway, It can be done, but has it been done?
To convert the engine to the newer fuel delivery system?
The main assembly is 846$, but then what, will I half to change out the ECU (engine management systems unit) as well?
Are there other better alternatives to make the fuel delivery system more responsive?
I'm a completely outside my area of expertise here, ask med anything about the Rotax Series III and it's system then I'm game, here on TY Im just out of bounds.
Thanks for your input!!
