Did you guys see this thing some shop in texas called mr. turbo is selling a turbo kit for the raptor supposed to be 70 ponies at 7 lbs. of thrust. I want one for my ex!
One word....INSANE. ;)
Eric
no, Three words..... "I WANT ONE" if anyone hears any info on one for 400ex let me know !!
I've seen these kits before. If you want one, get ready to lay down some SERIOUS $$$. If I remember right, its around $4000+ for the kit. You have to convert the fuel system to a EFI system (with computer), tweak the engine for the boost (ie lower compression) and a bunch of other crap....I dont think the quad is going to be too reliable after you are done with all that.
I think a 400EX with a turbo would be good power, but a Raptor with a Turbo...that is insane...IMO.
Eric
Ok nevermind, $4000 F#@% THAT !!!
NO Check out the new dirt wheels it is only 3200.00 ?HAHAHA
Ok, I was a little off....about a year ago it WAS $4000.

Actually from all the pipe shootouts, pipe reviews, and what I've read out here on exriders the white bros. E series exhaust will give you the same power boost..as the turbo charger..:D and if ya weld a cobra pipe on the end of the E-series it will sound like a F-14 fighter jet..

To protect the innocent,,,This is not my opinion,, only what I've read and been told by trained professionals.

5 speed manny.
the turbo has about 65,000 of hard abuse on it. It's off a 91 GSX turbo intercooled. It was in my uncles DSM before he put in a T-66 :cool:. It's been sitting in my garage for about 3 years now, and unc just sold the eclipse. I kept the turbo because i think it's cool looking :). It's so beat up that I wouldnt put it in another car.
I'll miss that car, but a 93 RX7 is a great replacement :)

40MPH seems a littlw low for a stock 400EX... i think that dyno was off?
