I have a brand new GT25 and a CPR intercooler in my shop. I still need a few other pieces then I was thinking I'd get someone who's got some experience to put it all together for me. I'm starting to get the itch to get the turbo up and running but I told myself this year was going to be chassis tuning. The tunnel works awesome, grip is excellent and it doesn't hold any snow. Here's a few more pics of the tunnel.

Paul, did you build that tunnel from scratch? It is beautiful. What do you suppose your weighing in at without the turbo?

I built the tunnel, cro mo front end, torque arm, hood, all aluminum steering, the handle bars and tons of other stuff I can't remenber off the top of my head. Right now I am at 611 lbs ready to ride with fuel oil spare belt and everthing. That is weighed on a calibrated 4 pad digital race car scale, so its an honest weight. When I put the turbo on I'll be dropping the exhaust, the Nos, and some gas due to the smaller tank so I'm hoping to be within 10 lbs or so of where I'm at right now. I know of 10 more pounds I can get out of it as well I just need the time to do it.

610 seems really heavy... Aren't stock RX1s around 560-570?
A stock 03 rx1 ready to ride is pretty much 700 lbs

Uggh, the truth hurts!
Stock 03 RX1M weights 614lbs according to Specialty Sleds, its on there web site in project hell froze over. The GT25 turbo weights 14lbs, then add the intercooler for about 5lbs. Not sure what the air box weights but likely half of the intercooler. The 2 yami fuel pumps likely cancel out the electric fuel pump and the pressure regular. But in the long run, boost is sure alot of fun. It over comes the weight, at 20lbs 
.
.I've pretty well come to the conclusion that I can't tell 10 lb difference one way or the other and believe me I've wanted to and tried. So now that I've come this far with the sled I might as well go all the way.

Some quick easy weight savings;
If I'm just going to play in close, just put 3-4 gallons of gas in, thats a 50# savings, and relatively high on the sled.
I read about some kind of marine anti-fouling wax to keep snow from sticking. I know I'm carrying 30# of snow at times.
The gas is not an option much of the time but the snow needs to be addressed.

Thats why I powder coated my tunnel. At the end of the day when my sled goes up on the deck it is consistently snow free. My friends 800 Poo is always loaded up. The under tunnel exhaust works like a dream on mine for keeping the snow out of there. I had 2 SRXs one with a polished tunnel and one that was powder coated and the powder coated tunnel always had less snow. You may add a lb or 2 when you coat them but you gain it back in snow loss. One of these days I'm going to take the small scale and a pail with us and do some quick measurements at the end of the day and see how much snow everybody is packing around. Next summer I'll pull my skid out and either polish the rails or powder coat them. Also I looked it up and found fuel weigh 6.25-6.75 LBS/US gallon depending on temperature, for the longest time I was using 10 lbs..
