  1. So Chris, how about an update? I am getting ready to install a Turbonetics t3/t4 on my Honda 3.5 and was wanting to get all of my ducks in a row before i start. I have been looking at what others have done to make their systems better but not much talked about when starting from scratch. I have my plumbing pretty much figured out, I am going with a stock ECU, run 5ish lbs of boost and gonna mix race fuel for the rest of the season (i have been getting conflicting advise whether 91 is adequate) and maybe upgrade to a stand alone next summer. I looked on eBay for a "missing link" and couldn't find one for a 3.5 application, which one did you go with? did you get a ball bearing or bushing turbo? did you run water lines? (if so why or why not?) I heard that some people were disconnecting their V-Tec, did you?(again why or why not?). Fuel management unit... OBX? JDM? 10:1?.....Injectors?....BOV?.....wow, a lot of questions, sorry bro. Anyone wanting to put in their :2cents: is more than welcome. If i missed anything, please feel free

    Thanks in advance

  2. Seen you guys out there on Friday, I only had a 4 hour window to get adjustments done so I was on a short leash. I spent more time on the pavement going to and from than I did in the sand...was worth every mile.... Next time I will make sure to drop by and say hey. :hello:

  3. Yes Bud got them!

    Plus the carbon fiber LS engine cover and pair of Optima blue top batteries

    It was great meeting and talking with him!

    I tried to talk him into his son buying my buddy's /neighbors SU Ultralite 5 seater!! Lol

    Jeff

    yeah, I guess Bud went on a little shopping spree... He said the same about you Jeff.

  4. does the yfz have a reverse?? I cant remember.... also the first few years that the yfz was out it was carbureted, some people are cool with that (i like the EFI because we do trips to utah and such). I enjoy my 700 a lot, but the 450 is a great bike also....I think you would be happy with either.

  5. Pete, you could always put a Raptor 660 up for sale....and maybe use the cash for a 700 (I know someone with one for sale) just sayin'

    Terry, I could probably pick up what you have and sell it...just mark what price you want for the stuff. I will only be there for the first half of the day, A buddy is gettin married out at Paiute golf course that evening and the wife would kill me if I was late....

  6. I was Talking with Bill Shapley over at his shop yesterday and he told me about a swap meet that SNORE was putting together to benefit the "make a wish" foundation. The meet has a bunch of spaces still available and the cost is $20 for space fees and $2 entrance fee. All of those proceeds go to make a wish... whatever you sell or swap is yours. I think he said that the spaces were 10' x 20' (don't quote me on that) I personally don't have enough stuff for my own space so I was gonna go in with some other peeps and get one, Maybe others can do the same..

    The swap meet will have VW stuff, Dune buggy stuff, truck, car, sand, SXS, quads, bikes ..... or what ever stuff.

  7. So I have been running a Honda 3.5 with a 091 built bus and made the jump to a 2D (actually a DECO) ... when I married up the 3.5 with the trans, i came across a challenge.... the starter motor was wanting to occupy the same space as the coolant manifold. So I went to GD.com and did some research and found a few threads on some mods that others have done. I am curious to find out what options I have (what have you done or seen) to alleviate my problem. I am pretty sure someone has one of these manifolds laying around or knows where I might find one....thanks

  8. I currently have a Silver / White 2006 Raptor 700 that has a bent Frame, I am looking for someone who has a similar bike with a blown motor or something of the sort. I am not really looking at dumping big $$ into it, maybe $1200 tops. if i don't find anything then it goes on the chopping block next week. If you have something then maybe we can work out a deal if you need parts then check back next week.
