As always, more power HELP!


Recommended Posts

I see you have an expanded iron deck cover, mine is a sheet of PVC (stock, now warped by the heat of the exhaust), have you noticed if the dust comes up through the deck and coat what ever is on the deck, such as coolers and the likes, or does the air flow go down and cool the engine.

When I flipped my manifold, I just bolted it to the chrome intake header, had to drill and hold, but it mounted ok. I like the looks of your's better now that you have shown us a photo of it under the deck.

To get my snorkel out, I cut a hole in the plastic piece between the seats and brought out that way, I you have some old, or new, shopvac hose, the clamp on you old rubber tube can be worked on the the shopvac hose and you will have a lot longer hose to work with. I didn't like the sound of the intake so close to my head, so my snorkel opening is close to the top bar of the roll cage, + I have a silencer off of a Ford Ranger that had a K&N filter. If yo'd like a photo or 2, let me know.

I'm lookin into doing a hybrids engine swap on mine using the stock tranny and converting the wet clutch to a dry clutch. You would have a total of 11 speeds then engine redlines around 10,000 rpm and wieghs less than 200 lbs right now I'm talking to a faricator and getting info from a company how to mate the trannys it's been done in other buggys if the new job goes well could hapen late this winter

Easiest way to do the manifold is just cut of the flange and reverse and weld back up. No drilling, etc required. I flipped mine and I don't think I gained much power but easier to get to starter and the electrical components as then they will all be up top as seen in Plumber's picture. My bed doesn't hit at all with the stock one flipped. Other way to gain power is match port the intake and also the exhaust as they definitely don't match up well.

When I flipped my manifold, I was having a problem with oil settling to the bottom and getting on the MAP sensor, them main reason I did it was so the oil could drain to intake ports and get burned with the gas. I later had to re-ring my motor which has taken care of the oil getting into the manifold, plus I put a catch bottle between the manifold and the vent in the valve cover. I do like the access to the starter and the area underneath and it made it real easy to get at the throttle and run my snorkel tubing, I did drill holes and tried to match and it seems to have sealed just fine. The bed doesn't hit mine either. If you have the equipment to cut straight and weld, it's probably better.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):

      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      Bought a Massimo 500 last night. Stopped and filled it up on the way home and I put the wrong gas in it. Is there a drain plug on the bottom of the tank that I can get to or will I have to siphon it out?

      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!
