Its all ecu and wastegate controlled. Basically only build boost once going up in elevation. I bet the aftermarket guys will have it making boost in no time at sea level.

crispy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 An OEM two stroke turbo, im impressed this is basically a Brian Holtzman 850 for the mountain crowd which really is the ideal test bed, those guys run to the bars all day every day and that data will be extremely useful for the following models im sure will launch if/when this becomes proven durable. I have to think they put more R&D into the new Rotax two strokes than they let on because turbos are very punishing and two strokes are already running ragged edgy compared to four strokes. My guess is the cost is due to limited production and an ins policy for warranty issues that are certain to arise. I think the entire effort here is both ballsy, and wise. Sorting our turbo two strokes that run reliably will put SkiDoo over the top imo. Gotta wonder what the max reliable power potential is going to end up as? Two thumbs up from me on this approach, just be sure to stuff this into a Renegade chassis too for us Eastern riders. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXZSlider Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 . Seems a 50/50 split on this with lots of banter back n forth over on DooTalk. Some are not impressed, some are, some are patiently waiting for the trail version, while others are waiting for blown/puked motors to happen. Will be interesting to see where BRP goes with this direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Doo is smart to push the development of mtx sleds. Soon, I mean very soon, that’s the only market that will be alive. Flatlanders are running out of snow at an alarming rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can somewhat deal with a narrower ski stance when trails are green/avail, yet have off-trail capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Can't say this is a game changer. It's certainly no rev chassis announcement. Where is the electric sled release? Something with 300 km of range in minus 20 degree weather. That would have zero issues with altitude to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 That is just an altitude kit to keep the engine at 165 HP. If it is boosted at sea level, (170hp) the rods will just break again and saw the engine in half. Same thing happened on 2016.5 and later Viper engines. Boost and BOOM. This forced everyone with a turbo boner to buy a Sidewinder that was actually made for the torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
