that 146 turbo is a struggle. No Thanks
With a lot less HP too.
The old school thinking that an N/A sled loses huge HP at elevation no longer applies today.
The old 3% for every 1000ft was a carb. sled but with EFI and MAP sensors sleds today do a good job holding HP.
They still lose HP but less then 2%, while the turbo version creates its own atmosphere continue to maintain.
In most all your BC riding zones N/A sleds are running closer to 150-155hp vs the turbo 170hp, it takes a lot of HP to gain 1mph track speed but 1mph make's a big difference in certain snow conditions.
So yes turbo sleds put more track speeds down for them early deep days vs an N/A but the balance of the season.
With a lot less HP too.
That’s a understatement for sure,every mountain I rode between 1993-2007 was on full mod 488 fancooled in a IndyLite chassis.Last one was 365lbs that I built from scratch with forward rolled chain case,that engine was maybe 70hp

Hugo says he's got an aftermarket charge tube and blow off valve in the commentsYep, is that stock or aftermarket.
I heard that too and got mildly jealous! Geez, I hope we're not turning into a bunch of ricers.
I wonder if there's actually any benefit and if the vents still do the self cleaning thing?
especially the shorter tracksSeems like the Doo’s blowing belts prematurely when riding hard .?
Put your hearing aides in old man…man that 9R is a useless sled. he says the boost is heavier so you get more tired but then he spends all day stuck on the 9R whats the difference LOL.. Even that 146x2.5" turbo freeride was performing better than that 9R
Not sure which is worse being stuck a few times or putting on $700 in belts within 400km...LOLman that 9R is a useless sled. he says the boost is heavier so you get more tired but then he spends all day stuck on the 9R whats the difference LOL.. Even that 146x2.5" turbo freeride was performing better than that 9R
