The new to me used 162/16/2.5 track
 



Installed an apex rad & fan, I going to control the fan when I want to. The rad will still increase surface area of the cooling system.
 

Engine rebuilt, Carrillo rods, J.E. 9to1 pistons, Arp headstuds, Graves motorsports valve springs, Ape manual chain tensior, Ape adjustable camsprockets, Lakeside Motors ported the cylinder head. The cylinder head was replaced. The org head had alot cracks, the block was re nicasled by CV tech from Quebec.
 


The used engine I brought to get the cylinder head was from a 05 warrior, so ended up with a mag valve cover.
The stage 8 fasteners to hold on the Impluse header, no more missing bolts or cracking headers.
 


Engine back in its home, cutting of the bulkhead for the header to fit.
 


Replaced the top of the tunnel, modified the stock yamaha heat shield, added 2 plates for the back to keep the head in. Cant see the header anymore other than the turbo flange.
 


The 2871 turbo installed, heat shield for the hotside, yellow line is turbo drain, to goes to the mag to return oil.
 


More turbo pics, showing inlet ducting, turbo support, my cardboard template heat shield for the down pipe.
 
Alpine Motorsports turbo nytro fuel tank, reason why I used it over the rev tank, 1st, its not a doo part, haha. There is alot more clearance, has 3 ports already installed, supply, return, vent. Uses the yamaha fuel cap, tank is narrower. Able to use a Mountain Mod seat that is from the nytro. The only problem with the alpine tank is, it is very long. Get to that problem when the engine is running.

I using the MCX intercooler cause the inlet is on the right side of the sled, with the Impulse setup, outlet of the turbo is the same. I Know lots of people dont think the mcx intercooler is big enough. I do, they were 1st to turbo game for sleds, being doing bikes since 85. They know there stuff! I have copied were the fuel pump, fuel reg goes. I dont like the look of air filters sticking out! Doesnt matter if its left of center, mid mount, rear mount turbos, all looks bad to me. So mine is under the hood. The hood that this sled will be using is alot taller than stock. There is 6 massive opens to the turbo to get air from. Not worried about hot air, & wont ever freeze the air filter up either.
 
I used photobucket, anybody know why the 1st, 2nd pic came out good size, then the rest are alot smaller? I have just about 0 clue with computers. Been just about 2months on/off trying to get pics online. I hate computers :o|
 
Awsome work Red! Keep them pictures coming. That thing will fly;-))))))

Did mountain mod make a one off seat for you for the alpine nytro fuel tank setup. Or are you using their nytro seat?
