Rx1 to ATV conversion !

[Turbo Tim]

Anyone done this to their sled yet ? I think I'll have to do this to my extra sled !

That must be photoshop job. Could you imagine how hot that sucker would run and then just quit. Would need a big radiator hooked up and one bigger than what is on the apex.

Probabaly the only way to recoup the resale loss those Rx-1 had.

Doesn't mention air filters, but they look pretty cool!!

Oh man, that is sweet, not sure how itd handle though, but itd be nice to have an ATV with some power. My 350 honda only makes 15hp, lol!

And thats what most ATV's make, they ususally dont make alot of power.

If they make a kit for the Phazer. I'll have one next summer.

I want to know the cost??? When I was a kid in the 70's in Montevido MN there was a couple of sleds that a guy did this to and they drove them on the streets all summer long.. not sure how they kept them cool though...I have never forgotten that....

I first saw a Polaris with that conversion at a waterx race in the mid 90's.Since i have seeen a few other times.Even saw one on e-bay for say a few months back.

Well I will be damned. Why would one do this? Might as well just buy a real ATV and not deal with the wieght of this thing the breather being very accessable to water and so on and so forth.

I think something like that would only be good for hard trails so ya wouldn't have to worry about water...
I say they can get along pretty good too

Used to do this to our sleds back in the late 60's early 70's. Its a great idea but you had better figure out a way to stop the fine dust from getting into the motor and turning it to junk. The snow filters will not stop dust. We used an air breather off of something long forgotten that would bolt onto the old tilson carb.

Like to know how to protect the rad that can only go under the tunnel. Not a problem 30 years ago as everything was pretty well fan cooled.

To easy to wreck something in the summer around here with all the rocks and stumps. Now if a guy lived where there was miles of sand with dunes. Hey paddle tires and lots of HP = Wahoo!!!!

I would do it ........just to have a 280 horsepower ATV .

...with the indy car style front suspension , it should handle awesome !

It's not like it'll be on a trailing arm supension .
As far as the air filter goes , It already has a K & n filter coming off the turbo , I just need to plumb some coolant back to the turbo for cooling .

In the late 60's and early70's snowjet had a kit for their sleds . Guy had one and he jad it up to 120mph with 440 fan . would be crazy wild on RX1 .
