I been think about a turbo for my trooper I have a couple of question.On the fuel management they have 12 :1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 which one do you used.Do you have to still used your catalytic converter and your two 02 sensor.Does anybody know the diameter of the exhaust manifold is.

I can't help you on the tech specs but I can say that putting a turbo on my Trooper 2 yrs ago was the best single modification I have done. The improvement in drivability is staggering. My system was installed by Scott at Unleashed Motorsports in Cottonwood, AZ. I don't know if he is still up there or not. The catalytic converter and O2 sensors are all stock.

Scott in AZ uses 12:1 on his turbos. He also uses 2 fuell pumps to get the fuel pressure up 130-140 pounds. I have a Vortech fuel management valve that I am no longer using. It's nearly new. Also have the kit for changing the fuel ratios 12:1 10:1 8:1 6:1 4:1. I'll sell it for $125 with the kit if your interested.

Do you know what kind of power you put down to the wheels before and after the turbo? Has it been dyno'd? Do you think it added power lets say lower than 2500 rpms?

No dyno info.

I can tell you that because of the close gearing of the transmission, there never seems to be a situation where boost is unavailable. I can feel and hear the turbo at lower RPM's, but the boost guage is around 0, so it does not seem to measure any output until around 2200 - 2500 rpm.

In fact, I dialed it down from the 10lbs I was getting to around 7lbs so that on long grades/hills (like Oldsmobile at Glamis) I could stay in the throttle. I was haveing to feather it at 10lbs because it would try to spin through the rev limiter (6000rpm) too quickly.

The best part is I do not have to concern myself so much with weight. I can carry the spare, use Maxxis Bighorn tires in all conditions, even deep sand at Glamis, bring my wife and dog, etc, etc. Just more enjoyable all the way around. But I am not a racer, I am in it for the long haul. I use the power to get where I am going, not to see how fast I can go.

Randy,

How has the powertrain held up with the turbo? Also, there is already cooling issues in stock form. Are those compounded with a turbo?

Thanks,

Paul

I have never had any heating issue of any kind. When I thought I had heating issues when I first got the Trooper, it turned out to be the guage calibration. Since that was resolved, it stays right in line. I live in Phoenix and spend a lot of time in the desert so I would think I would push the heating issue as much as anyone.

I replaced 1 CV Axle (not sure it really needed it, but rebuilt left rear bearing and wanted to be conservative) and upgraded to the CV driveshaft. I always use 4wd to balance the load on the output shaft which I was told is a weak spot. But other than that, just normal upkeep and adjustment. I have over 2500 km on the buggy and probably more than 1500 km of that was after the Turbo install.

I am a pretty conservative driver, (my wife is usually with me to keep me in line), but I still get into situations where I use every bit of power/suspension that I have.

      Which is the best oil to use ?
      By Prepper
      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      Looking for a output shaft for a Joyner trooper t2. Went to move the buggy after sitting all winter and it appears the out put shaft that drives the rear wheels broke off inside the transmission so looking for the shaft or a complete transmission if someone has one

      Older Landmaster LM 650 Fuel Problem
      By Ed Michael
      My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.

      🏁 $100 Gift Card for 30-Min Zoom Chat – Share Your ATV / UTV Experience! 🏞️
      By UTVLover253
      Hey everyone – my name is Adam and I’m doing some market research to better understand the ATV / UTV community. I'm especially interested in hearing about:
      What you use your vehicle for (work, play, etc.)
      What you love about it
      What frustrates you
      What the overall experience of riding has been like
      If you're open to hopping on a casual 30-minute Zoom or phone call sometime this week or next, I’ll send you a $100 gift card as a thank-you.
      No sales, no pitches—just listening and learning. I'd also just ask that you send over a photo of you and your side-by-side in action (nothing formal—trail pics or selfies are totally fine!).
      If you're down to chat, drop a comment or DM me and we’ll find a time that works. Would really appreciate the chance to learn from you 🙏
      Thanks!
      – Adam
