Sea Level Trail Riding Low Boost Kit Questionaire

[big_red1a]

looks like a better option then the Yamacharger!

shaddow...

Ulmer racing has a ton of experience where we do our riding...near sea level on the trails...

What would it take to get the MPI system Yamaha is offering to work at seas level...and on 87 or is it just not doable?

You can gladly call MPI and ask them what it would take to make their system work at sea level on down to 87 octane. This is about a Ulmer Racing turbocharger so please do not hijack the post.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack, just asking a simple question as I thought you sold that product...no need to make someone feel like d**k..

Shaddow, I did respond to your question via PM just a few minutes ago!

Allen thanks for the response, that was the answer I was looking for! The turbo sounds like a better option with less hassle.

Going back to my earlier question about the turbo kit...by dropping the boost to 2-3lbs and making it 87 octane friendly, how much HP would you lose..5-10...making it 160-165hp range?

Would this turbo setup have more lag than your 180 kit with the lower end turbo? I honestly like your 180 kit but by the time I am done adding in guages,clutching,and extrovert drivers it is over $5,000 which is a bit much for me at the moment.

I am guessing this kit could produce afew more HP with an open exhaust ? 180 HP possible ?

The last time I was on the dyno at 3 lbs of boost the sled made 162-165 (peaked at 167 in one spot).

Journal bearing turbo vs ball bearing, the journal bearing will be a little slower to respond. The only other thing that may make it better is the intercooler not being there (there is a slight pressure drop with the intercooler) so response may be very close. Until we can do some testing we will not know for sure.

An aftermarket muffler will add 3-4 hp most of the time.

allen....one thing you might want to point out ....the torque figures etc...not necessarily the H.P. numbers...

a good illustration of this is your original stage one aerocharger vs mpi s/c done at Dynotech...

I think if you post info like that ....well its compelling to say the least...

some guys I know get caught up with peak H.P. and dont understand its the fat and wide bigger torque band that makes it happen...
