Dave, the suspension and overall machine looks great. How did the supercharger turn out? got any photo's of the final product?


http://www.sidexsideforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1897

Here is the link for the Supercharger project. The pictures on page 2 are the latest ones I have.
Marshall Motoart will have it for 1 week starting tomorrow. Chris will be revising the front headrests, installing the headliner on the insides of the rear fenders, and building a UHMW skid plate for the entire underside of the machine.

As soon as Chris is done, it is going to Max at Tri city Polaris for the clutching work & street legal kit installation. Then it goes back to Mountain performance for fine tuning on the Supercharger & engine control system. Then it gets strapped back on the chassis dyno so we can see just how much extra power we are putting to the wheels.

I am really itchin’ to get out there and drive this thing!!!

BTW Lynn, Are you coming to either the Mesquite/ Sand Hollow ride on Feb 19-21, Or the Easter weekend ride at Corral pink sand dunes on April 1st through 5th? (Corral pink still has one or 2 RV spaces left)

Ok, the Legend Air project is done, and the pictures have been updated.
I couldn’t be happier with both the quality of the kit and the end result. At this point I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this product.

I have measured as much as 14.5 inches of ground clearance between the stock plastic skid plate and the ground. I don’t plan on normally running it that high because I want the center of gravity as low as possible; it is just nice to know that I can have that much clearance if I need it, to clear an obstacle. I am having a ½ inch thick UHMW full under body skid plate made next week, so it won’t matter if I slide across a few rocks.

I tested the stock electrical system under a worst case scenario to see if there was a weak spot. At an idle with the radiator fan running, I turned on both sets of HIDs, the Wideband O/2 sensor was heating up, and then I turned on the Legend Air compressor. The voltage meter dropped to 10.7 volts, and the charging system warning flasher turned on. This all happened right before I blew the main fuse and everything died.

I procured a second Polaris battery and the Polaris battery isolator kit. I also ran every possible electrical component through its own relay. (Including the regular headlights) Now the electrical system can handle the load with no problem! The voltage doesn’t drop below 12.1 volts, and you can hear the isolator switch back and forth between batteries, as needed.

Now it’s time to get out there and put some miles on. I will let you know if any problems arise.


Thanks again to Badley for planting the idea in my head, and Jared at Ruthless Motorsports for hooking me up with this great product!

SON OF A BI#@*!!!!
They just keep making me spend money!!
Don’t they know we are in a recession?

That thing looks like a blast!

#110 Re: Where to Ride? » I survived Borneo » 2010-01-06 16:06:20

why did your rzr look so low to the ground in all the pictures? was it loaded with that much stuff?

It is the latest in jungle fashion! It’s a low rider!
Shannon likes to pick up pigmy jungle chicks when he is out on the trail.
The lowrider look gets 'em every time! They need it low so they can climb up in.
Did you happen to notice the curb feelers & fuzzy dice on the mirror too?
lol

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that.
This time of year I need all the pictures of warm places to ride I can get!
January sucks in Salt Lake City. With the inversion, we hardly see the sun for 2 months!
I am itchin' to RIDE!!!


BTW. How do you like the Ruesch XRL
It looks like you could use the Legend Air suspension in the back when you have rear passengers. It seems to squat quite a bit.
I had the same problem with Brutus...

Good to hear Brad.
So far we are in #24, #25, & #26. If you decide to come, see if you can get close to there. It will be a great time!

#114 Re: Where to Ride? » I survived Borneo » 2010-01-03 10:08:55

WOW! I love the pictures.

Well done. Looks like you will have quite a bit of rehab to do before the UTV rally!
On the other hand, maybe you should leave it as is and just display it! Maybe Polaris will trade you for a new one and use yours for R&D…

This is an open invitation to join us on the 4th of July weekend 2010 for some great camping & Fantastic riding!
Bring your UTV & family. If your machine is street legal, you can drive it in and out of the campground.

We are staying at the Smith & Morehouse campground. (About 20 miles north east of Oakley Utah) (90 min from SLC) Here is a link to the campground. Make reservations early because this is a VERY popular place to be in the summer.
I will be arriving Thursday July 1st, and leaving Monday July 5th.

I installed most of the Legend Air system on Brutus yesterday.
Very easy install!

I took a couple of pictures that show how low this thing will now squat. It is very impressive!

I will take some more pictures later with the air bags inflated that show the total range of suspension travel.

The Supercharger is almost complete. The only thing left to do is install the fan on the intercooler & do some fine tuning on the ECM fuel curves. But first it needs to get the clutching done. It just smacks the 7,000 rpm rev limiter at anything over ½ throttle right now. The stock clutching just can’t begin to hold the power.

The Pro Logger looks even better than I had hoped. It is a complete gauge package (Plus allot more) in one box. It is currently monitoring RPM, Boost/Vac, coolant temp, and Wideband 0-2 Air fuel ratios. It is also my understanding that we will data log with this thing as well. Then look at the numbers back at the shop to really fine tune everything.

Soon we will be putting it back on the Dyno. to see how much power we gained.
Stay tuned.

Can I request that she administer my medication?
:twisted:

#119 Re: Goin' Riding... Who's with Me? » Goin' Riding...Who's with me? Sand Hollow or Mesquite? » 2009-12-30 09:06:13

We are good to go! Have you decided where we are going yet?
Either venue will work just fine for us. Thursday night is most likely out, so we will be coming down Friday morning the 19th.

Hi, my name is Dave, and I am an alco… I mean I am a horsepower o holic. I am so glad to have you all as my support group. I am doing so much better now since I have learned that my illness has no cure, and that I must accept the fact that I will never get better.
