Hi guys glad I could finally join here. Great site, looked thru lots of topics--lot of good info !!

Im from eastern Wa. (state) run my own farm, got five sons & we love getting dirty (playing in the dirt).

Got us off of the dirt bikes and 4 wheelers & into the smaller dune buggys, my kids are safer strapped in and roll bar protected.

Kids & the wife love these toys (dad too), anybody who cant hav fun in these--simply must have no heart beat :D

Weve got my sons Viper650 (i bought off Devil Dog earlier this summer, thanks DD love this thing!!) torn down to the block in the shop.

Been working with Jose at Silver Bullet and have ordered "the 650 upgrade kit" friday

post-1135-0-69589100-1320620122_thumb.jpg

(10.75:1 Ross pistons/rings/rod bearings etc, with the 'torque specific' cam)

Also ordered new con rods, & crank. :) much yet to get ordered valves/seals/springs and retainers, & gaskets etc.

At least now I can soon get the machine shop started...

Planning a line bore, ring end gapping & probably have him shot peen & beam polish the new rods (for a potential; future, small eng nitrous settup). Im gonna port & polish the cylinder intake & exhaust, got a new better flow intake for the older mdl FF Webber 40DCOE carb. The crank will remain stock but, I am thinking of shaving the flywheel down just a lit'l (5-8% of total wt).

Im a decent farm mech & jack of many trades (expert at none), done a bit of V8 internal work (bac in the day) but most of my eng work experience is in JD tractors--so i may need sum help incouragement & 'correcting' along the way

Tj (my youngest) & I are Really Pumped about this build project :) and its possibilitys !!

Anyways, to the point...

Jose said he wasnt aware of any dyno test on this mod, & didnt want to speculate as to the Hp gains, But...

told me some one on the UTV forum had done Silver Bullets piston & cam kit on a Sand Spider 650 already & posted of his build, and outcome. Havent been here long and even came close to reading all (lots of great stuff here), but havent found info on this build yet. Seems I keep getting side tracked on threads like the supercharger topic & such B) Any help finding this thread would be awesome & any advice suggestions and input you guys may have for me would be greatly appreciated.

Ive been told this kit alone, could potentially add 20 extra Hp off the flywheel ?

Thankx in advance for any help & input

Jeff

TF - What happend to the engine? Sounds like it will be a screaming machine when you get done - This is the best site for T2 info, don't know about 650's

Thank you Rick, I apoligize if I sounded abrassive & I understand this more of a UTV specific forum, but the Commander does share this same eng. Im also sorry for my post location (but as this was my 1st post here, I entered this in the New Members section-move this thread accordingly)

and again thank you.

Again -- I was told

Jose (from Silver Bullet) said;

Im thinking this kit was most likely done on a Commander 650, rather than the SS, Ive sent Jose 2 emails asking for more about this build/outcome & reveiw, but with no answer (my Piston kit order was made Fri afternoon, & an email to Jose fri & again Sun)

I also have not heard back from him on a pricing quote on an extensive list of other parts I needed, list emailed Mon AM & I verified that this had been received when I talked with Johny that same morning

I was hopefull Silver Bullet-Rick would respond back to me... :)

(i have 3 of these 650 engines iin our buggy fleet, & will most likely be doing another rebuild in the near future)

Thankx & best regards

Jeff

Hi Team Farm, welcome to the forum. We just love to have people here that are moving into new areas with their machines. Next step will be to supercharge it. Look to cutting weight where you can. I've replaced a number of parts with aluminum where i could. Pick up my aluminum at a local recycle center for a $1 a pound. I just stop in once in a while so I'm gradually building an inventory to work from. Sounds like your into a fun project. Sounds like you enjoy working on it, I know I sure do on my Trooper.

Welcome Jeff....

My Brother-in-law had a 650SS and it is the reason I wound up with the T2 I have now... He had done the Weber conversion and it ran good....

Have you done the snowmobile shock swap for the SS yet ???

Hi Showa; I did get some Fox Zero pros (from an Artic Cat M7) for the SS but have not had time to weld new tabs & get these mounted yet, all my time been going into my sons Viper (the 650 we,re building).

Still waiting on my SB Kit to arrive (cant even get the machine shop boring the block till I get those pistons) :( but in the meanwhile we're puttting a diff 680cc build in his Viper, that I recently found for sale (Venolia 9.5:1 pistons & some goodys) :)

      Greetings, new member here from New Mexico
      By J R
      Hi, I just bought a used 2015 MSU500  with 365 hrs on it. After riding it the UTV seemed sluggish and would not climb a moderate hill without getting a running start in low range. Took it to a repair shop and they told me that the clutches were burnt and slipping. Had the primary clutch replaced and afterwards was told that the compression of the cylinder was only 80psi, which I was told was 100psi below original compression. I've bought all parts necessary, including new crankshaft and bearings to rebuild the motor. My question is, does anyone know if a 700cc top end kit will bolt onto the 500 motor case?

      2022 Massimo T-boss 550x touch screen shuts off
      By Spider
      My touch screen shuts off and turns back on while driving. Is there something I can check or do to try and fix it? I have a 2022 T-boss 550x with about 7 miles on it. thanks

      Massimo T-Boss 410 Died on the run and won't restart
      By k-bo
      My T-Boss 410 died hard on a run up the driveway and wouldn't restart. Cranks over fine, 12v at coil, fuel in cylinder (from plug check), and wire from computer to coil buzzes out OK. Computer threw a P0351 ignition coil malfunction message. I pulled the coil, measured resistance across the primary, and it was about 0.8 or 0.9 ohms, nominal for most ignition coils. I measured the secondary resistance as well and got about 6.5K ohms, also nominal for most coils. I checked the plug wire resistance and it was about 5000 ohms, which seems OK. And really perplexing, my spark tester shows spark. I got to feel it too, when I held my fingers too close to the conductor. 💩! Have any of you folks run across this?

      Need photos of Intimidator EV Battery Connections and Dual Pro Charger Info.
      By GrahamP
      I have had a battery failure with one of my batteries, maybe another coming soon and have decided to  change all 8 out to US Battery XC1800's. Just to make sure I have the correct connections, can anyone post a few pictures of the battery connections and email me a copy?
      Just an FYI, the Dual Pro Eagle Performance onboard charger quit. I am not sure, at this point, whether it is the charger that has failed, or the bad battery causing a low voltage failure.  This low voltage will cause the charger not to start, even though it may be still working. (2020 models and above have a different charger). The charger is back with DualPro awaiting a dignosis.  If you need to remove the charger, to send back to DualPro, you will need to remove the electrical input port on the passenger side, and the output to the batteries. Then, remove a good number of black zip ties to free both cords.  The charger itself is held on by 6 machine screws, 3 on each side of the brackets. Be careful, the charger weighs 27 lbs! The whole unit, including the cords needs to be sent back.  The connections are soldered inside the charger  and cannot be disconnected.
      Thanks,
      Graham  ([email protected])
