[huxley]

Ive always wanted to turbo a 600. I think it would be cool.

Pipes Clutch work and porting would cost at least 2500 without labor. Porting and full pipe should give an honest 15-20 hp but there's no replacement for displacement. It would be cheaper to get a 2013 800

I think Oneoldfart has a 600 pro with quite a few mods. Hopefully he will see this and chime in.

Clutching and gearing for what your doing primarily. There is no point in dumping cheddar into a 600 because for that price you would be into an 800. non pro 2015 800 155s are going for under 9 grand now.

A can will help a bit in terms of weight and throttle response but unless you really really want to, turboing a 600 will mean more wrenchy and less ridey.

We have a 2013 Pro RMK 600 155 ES... sort of. I bought this sled for my wife as she had torn her rotator cuff and was looking for something lighter then her M8. Sled got a heavier 2.5" Challenge Extreme track before it left the showroom. Anyway, we ran a Carl's Cycle clutch kit with EPI weights and a higher compression head for the first season, and as fun as it was to ride, she was looking for more hp. After trying to trade it in on a 14 800 (no interest from any Polaris dealer unless they could steal it), we decided it was cheaper to go with Carl's Cycle 660 big bore kit. The dollar was a bit more favorable at the time, so I pulled the top end and ECU and shipped them stateside. A couple weeks later I received the kit back, complete with gaskets, and heavier clutch weights. The ported cylinders were VERY well done, some of the nicest work I've seen. The sled will run right alongside my backup M800 S/P Ltd with a 162" track with no problems, and runs 58g bellybuster weights - same as an 800 Polaris. There is less torque out of the 660 then an 800, but it revs very quickly and pulls hard. I ride it when she lets me, we've also added Kmod suspension front and rear, handling is top notch, and the ride is smooth, even with my fat a$$ on it (230lbs in my underwear). I would build another 660 without hesitation, simply because they are so much fun to ride. I might add that there is no piggyback fuel controller, and it uses the stock pipe. With today's exchange the kit will cost you about $2350. When we did it, it was $2000 - about an $1800 savings instead of trading in on a non current 2013 800 155 with no e-start (I did the work myself, so didn't have to pay a mechanic).
But, if you can sell your 600 for a decent price, it doesn't cost a bunch more to go to an 800, and you'll have warranty...
Good luck in your decision.

It wasn't a pro but back in 2007 I had a rmk 600 nice little sled my buddies all had 800. Around home the 600 reved higher so had better top speed but when we went to the mountains this went down hill fast they could out perform me pretty good. So I put a full SLP pipe kit and clutching and I could keep right up with them once again. The pipe and clutch kit woke that sled up!

Its really too bad you cant do a basic turbo setup on a tighter budget. Just 5 lbs of boost would be huge and help elevation woes with 600. If it doesnt push the top end too hard you dont have to dump cheddar into it make it last. If your not pushing your injectors much more then you dont need to upgrade them either. Running 91 octane still would be even better.

Problem with the big turbo kits is they add a ****ton of power, but then require alot of supporting mods and tuning to keep things going well. An ECU reflash and a snail in a box would be excellent, want more then what the block and stock fuel will handle? Well then put the cash funnel in it.

i have a full 600 rmk power pack for sale. Includes SLP pipe and silencer. PAR head and a power camander 5. I did a carls cycle 660 with there case porting. so i wont be needing this stuff any more. let me know if your interested. if you have the cash do a 660 you will be very happy.

The 600 is a great engine.

thanks for the information. i'm not too sure what I want to do yet. I love the 600 just don't like getting beat up a hill by a 800.

step up your game to the 800 buds

Carl's 660 kit will alleviate that issue. My wife's 2013 with a 660 will run even with our backup sled up a hill (which is a 2013 M800 S/P Ltd with 162 x 2.6" track, clutch kit and regeared). The 660 is that good in the hands of a capable rider. If you rode 10000'+, I would say stick with an 800, as the torque is a bit less on the 660. But for my riding elevation (6-8000'), the 660 gives up nothing to an 800. At the end of the day, it boils down to cost. I was able to build a 660 for less $$$ then trading into an 800, and I have faith in the Polaris small block (I don't in the 800).

Apparently the Bikeman Pipe mod for $250 US (send your core) will net you 5-6 horse without fuel mods on a 600 CFI-2. I may go that route over the summer, need to call and confirm as it doesn't appear on their website today.
