It was on a post on Snowest from Robertson Yamaha whos is also an MCX dealer. I can find it later when I have more time, I don't know that it is true but thats what it says.

Keep us posted. That sounds awesome.

I have been reading more about this on snowest the 190 reprogram anyone else here anything

Ya The Dealer here is Saskatchewan is doing it, I think its about $160 and they send in your box for mcx to do their magic on

i hope I dont get dinged for this but here is the info for the mcx 190 kit ( http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/show ... p?t=326264 ) sounds like if you have the exsiting 180 kit you send your mcx programer to them and they send you it back with updated software...
Ive been doing ALOT of reading on turbo's lately because Im hopefully going to be on boost this spring

Any MCX-180 kit can be upgraded to 190. It is just a remap and 1 more lb of boost. It's honestly probably pushing 200HP as many 180's were dynoing around 192-194ish... - Cody

Definately a nice upgrade and cheap HP for the $$$ - Cody

Interesting reading!

I was about to start a new thread exactly about this subject but there it was!

Both of my buddies (dimebag and mtn here on the forum) are running without the TCV valve and using a manual boost controller instead.

According to them, its awesome! They say you really feel the difference even if the pressure is just a tad higher. Also you dont have to worry about the TCV acting up (freezing) and making you run at WAY to high pressure.

I am in doubt wether I should convert to a manual boost controller and install an AFR gauge.

I do have some basic engine knowledge but the turbo and tuning stuff is kind of out of my league.

With the 180kit (as far as I have understood) the limitations are the fuel jets and the fuel pump?

If this is correct, would it mean that by putting in jets with higher delivery rate and adding a new fuel pump you could run it safer at 190+ hp?

I guess as long as you have an AFR it is safe with the stock stuff but lets say that you are running an OK AFR at 200hp with the stock setup, if something is to fail would it be a head gasket or a rod through the block?

This morning when I was lying in bed I started thinking about why we lower the compression when boosting, is it to create less pressure in the combustion chamber to save the rods and head gasket and also create more room for the extra mixture?


I am very tempted to go for a manual controller, I like the thought of being able to adjust my power as I go, I will probably run near the highest AFR and lets say if there is a day with lots of powder, it would be cool to just twist the knob and let it run on the limit and leave a highmark above the other foolish two smokes.
I also like gauges, the more the better. So adding an AFR gauge would be awesome.

On the other side you could also dial it in at sea level and theoretically if you are safe at sealevel you should be safe at higher altitudes, and if you just leave the knob there you could stay safe all the time. Well except for the temperature changes, you could probably end upping running it lean just because of temperature changes?

Hmm I do need to learn about this!

Why the remap? It does not change the fuel map. So why pay 160$ for some minor changes to the tcv data ? Or did I miss something ?

1 turn on the waste gate rod or adjust your boost controller.
