LOL like i said it was tinkered with big time. obviously a installation error.

I can't find the figure either. I'm sure dealer told me 7psi stock but it's not in the manual

In stock form the Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo that the boys at Bikeman Performance dynoed produced 179.4 horses.

Bikeman tells us that this is only about 60% of this sled's potential though. It is one of the easiest engines to tap into its hidden power reserves and with a few changes the Bikeman guys tell us that they are seeing 291 hp. Here is what they said the kit involves.

Stage 1: Bolt on exhaust. Removal of the stock muffler and turbo outlet manifold and installation of the Bikeman Performance Powder Lite muffler and BMP mini divorced down tube shaves 17 lbs., and claims to net an additional 15 hp, bringing the total to 194.9 hp. The stock fuel injection adjusts to meet the fueling requirements.
Stage 2: Add Bikeman's 4-inch intercooler kit with 2.25-inch aluminum piping. The kit replaces the stock 2-inch rubber hoses that tend to expand, causing loss of horsepower and the smaller stock intercooler. The Bikeman crew says this upgrade gets the power up to 202.1 hp and will still run on stock ECU mapping.
Stage 3: Bikeman has been working with DynoJet to develop the CMD (Combustion Management Device) and says it unlocks the Z1 Turbo's potential. The CMD is fully adjustable with the addition of a manual boost controller and a boost gauge. To get more power just turn the knob to up the boost. A moderate 16 psi of boost will push the Z1 Turbo to 240 hp.


thats copied from an article on Bikeman Performance products. Bikeman says stock boost at 12psi but numbers don't add up to me?

If what u say is true for only 1200 bone you can get nearly 300 reliable hp in a new lighter chassis then the yammies, my bet is for that kinda price ur gonna see alotta these sleds on the hill next year. Cant wait to demo one myself.

"hIGhmARk In tuRbo
At 10,000 feet, you won’t have to worry about losing power. The 1100 turbo 4-stroke engine leads the industry in horsepower, providing maximum power in all elevations. The turbo produces a 13 PSI boost with an altitude compensator, eliminating the power-draining effects of altitude. So no matter what, you’ll have all the power to highmark any highmark."

Came out of the cat brochure.

 

[gibsons]

that's what i read as well, 13lbs.

 

[vanislerev]

finally just looked at the cat site. gotta give em credit for steppin up. even having ALWAYS been a doo guy, if i were to buy new now that would likely be top of my list now. nice lookin ride

 

[glengine]

I am absolutely pumped with the new chasis. Would've liked to see more two stroke models but i think that there might be a couple more comin. But all in all a good line up i think.

But if you look in an owners manual from this year it says the snowchecks came with a 2.5 already. And i wonder if it'll be a full 2.5" lug or if it is like the camo extreme in a 2.86 pitch which is only a 2 3/8" actual lug hieght.

 

[maxwell]

nope shes a full blown 2.5

 

[EMANAARON]

nope shes a full blown 2.5

It says 6.4CM tall lugs on the website. Which is 2.5Inch.

Should make for a deadly mountain sled. But i am excited to see this 1100Turbo and how it works out.

I thought that only Women could withhold the "Love", and have it actually work!!

 

[glengine]

nope shes a full blown 2.5

We will have to wait and see. Because i know that the current camo extreme in 2.86 pitch that is listed as a 2.5" lug is not and the paddles dont even go all the way to the edge of the track. Kinda like one of the little fine print things that say might no be exactly as shown or listed.

 

[Depsnolvr]

curtis/aaron...yoou guys come for a ride with me on your new 1100 turbos hehehehhehe

easy there little fella, I just like the idea, not leavin my doo
