RZR is one of 7 we built for customer. Progressively getting more ridiculous . Pretty much daily type of exotic stuff we build sound systems in. $5k sound and lighting... blah blah boring car stereo stuff! But turbo is cool as hell custom manifold. Im engineering some heat deflection to keep turbo from catching seats on fire again. Customer complained his kids said my heated seats were stuck on full time.

just chiseling away one hr a day. Some more broom stick alignment. Decided on two piece drive line to give more flexibity on alignment. Looks like cutting twin rxt shafts and threading on Yamaha couplers is going trend.
SeadoodocJR using plasma cutter for bearing carrier support plate. Did some exhaustive measurements on tolerances to ensure center and alignment. We made sure to leave room for shims. Adding height will be easy, however taking away will prove disastrous. Tough gig not having crankshaft. However " homemade " this project seems we are ensuring some serious accuracy in assembly.

A braking system would be cool. The drop bucket/gate of manual old school was nice, it would stop the ski then you could get right back on the throttle.
When I rode the RXP_X260, I was beyond disappointed that it wasn't like car brakes... if you hit the brake, it was like 30 minutes before you could hit the throttle and GO.
I wanted to be able to hit the brakes for the corners and power out of them.
it may have been closer to 20 seconds, but whatever, it was TOO long.
if you do brakes, they'd have to be variable to the cable pull/push. they'd have to be fast, and they'd have to pull back fast.
so 2 small drop arms on both sides that use springs to pull UP and out of the water. then when you pull your left hand brake in or finger throttle assembly on the left hand, it pulls the arms DOWN. when you release, they instantly go UP and out of the water.

Lol. Guess who put a deposit on one today... Lol.
The bike or Tesla, LOL.
BTW, great build.
We have a stock RZR and I don't understand these guys that spend all the money modifying the RZR's because for the same if not less money they could just buy a bitchn' sand rail that will smoke them.

Okay the first pic. Is there no belt cover for that primary and secondary on those sand racers, or were you just working on it?
Good point mik, except sand rails cant go in the mud

Off topic.. but fun. We have found the 4 seaters will not survive a day at the dunes on a belt. We have tried fan cooling.. vented covers ..u name it. 1800 lbs loaded with an extra weight of 4 people. Then stereo and extras. So this turbo RZR we adapted a snowmobile wider belt and clutch system. Open air keeps cool and no issues. Obviously non functional anywhere but sand. It works finally. We have had many 100k 1000hp sand rails in our crew and has proven to be just unsafe for fellow riders on Oregon Dunes. Too damn fast and should stick to glamis. Any given day we see 100 built RZR's on Oregon coast. You cant run a full size buggy through trees and trails!
