On this weeks show of Snowmobiler TV we went to Spoiled Sports in Bowmanville, Ontario to install a turbo, we guarantee this is not the turbo you are thinking of!
I know this is an old thread but seeing that turbo brought back memory's from when we raced back in 1983-1985. My parents owned Arizona Power Sports. We had a real genius of a mechanic, Ron Chasteen. He designed a turbo system that we used on 4 Polaris Indys. We mostly raced in Colorado and New Mexico. They were very fast and really not many sleds could come close to us. He then started Injection Research Services and designed a EFI system that he took to Polaris in '87 . After meeting with Polaris and Fugi , and showing his EFI system, Polaris said no thanks but came out with their system in '89. Ron took them to court and won around 57 million dollars. I don't know what happened to our original 4 race sleds but I'm always looking hoping a collector might have them. Those were some fun days racing.
Great content and well edited. Im a huge Polaris guy and this is one of them videos that i just dont understand why it doesnt have hundreds of thousands views. Im glad i found it.
I grew up around the Middlesex Power Marine Shop and Mike Mazur made these 600 / 650 Turbos fly... there is lots more to it than just bolting on a turbo and airbox and expecting it to have more power than a stock 650 carb and clutching setup.. this was OLD School Technology when comparing to todays 4 stroke and continued 2 stroke turbo applications
@@ryanxcr800 absolutely been running asphalt the past few years. We have a strong xcr owners Facebook page! And in process of a new ice sled build all is well Merry Christmas!!
I knew Mike and actually got to ride in the groomer a few times with him up by his shop in Rockwood, ME after he left Tyngsboro. Such an interesting guy with awesome stories. A little rough around the edges, but that's how the best ones are!
Those turbo kits worked very good back in the day. Primitive but functional. For more HP you needed to lower the compression ratio pack more air into the engine. A good running 650 would go past the C note. The new 800/ 850 would have its hands full to outrun a 650.
Back in the day put a lot of arowdyen turbos on the 650 I like them because they had the oil right in the turbo no out side oil tank or pump needed still have on for a twine cylinder Polaris and a v- max 4 Yamaha
I had a 1996 Indy xcr 600 triple that I boosted and ran on 110 octane made 8psi i used 3 fuel pumps one for each carb. I had to take a special plate for the heads to hold them down. And ran 488 fan pistons. I’d send pics if I could but you tube won’t let me
Joe Blow dude why you will spend so much money on a sled that’s not worth over 1 grand, sell it and get like a xc 700 or 600 for the same power as the turbo 500
A 700 won't keep up to a properly turboed 500 for one thing. For another, it's the experience I'm after and as I don't ride a ton as far as trailriding goes, I have no excuse to go buy something like that. And btw, I paid 300 for it.
Joe Blow I doubt that honestly, you are stupid to even turbo a Indy 500 unless you have a shit ton of money and if you do do a turbo your going to have to run a lot of psi to even keep up with a xc 700, just jet, clutch your Indy 500 they are not made to be turbocharged they are reliable and cheap that’s what Polaris made them to be
@@thatbigblock7007 It's been done. Back in their day someone made a turbo kit for them, I can't remember the brand, but they ran 7-8 lbs of boost and absolutely ripped.
@@tylermurphy420 nice i have the 2000 xc sp 600 45th anniversary edition mine has power valves though only the SP had power valves that year thats why i was asking
He keeps saying its going to grenade .i had total faith 92 sleds dont sould that old to me it feels like yesterday i bought a 92 articat 440 mabe 20 years ago but feels like
All those awesome old sleds rotting in trailers instead of being sold at reasonable prices to guys that would run them. They will be worth less each year as they deteriorate, shame!
Yes, it has been done many times over the years. If setup properly, the hp gains can be exponential. Very difficult to tune a carborated two-stroke though.

The best place to deal with had my motor built from Dave five years ago and It still does 115 mph and doesn’t miss a beat
115!!!

They do my buddy has a couple 650s that are perfect and a new 850 just berily beat it on the RR grade stock to stock
Thousands are missing good entertainment... Thank you!
That turbo definitely needs a bearing
It needs load for it to move air. Rip it and under load and it’ll spool
@@jafferm1938 theres no way the impeller should be stationary even at idle
Kevin Hanson (RIP) had a turbo in the day he said it worked great out west just enough bosst so it had a 100 HP at alt.
All I can remember is the insane amount of fun I had on those sleds and the bog...god they bogged.
yeah, while it was bogging, the 617 and 670 skidoos were GONE!
@@ryanxcr800 yeah... no video, no truth... dumpster fire for the piston port polarises....
I had a 90 and a 92.. I used to pound those 617 mach 1 boat anchors for a joke! lol
The booogggg is what switched me to doos... crisp throttle and excellent brakes.
Back in the day put a lot of arowdyen turbos on the 650 I like them because they had the oil right in the turbo no out side oil tank or pump needed still have on for a twine cylinder Polaris and a v- max 4 Yamaha
Such a rare kit that I can’t even find a single shred of its existence on Google
wow ..i remember when you guys opened glad you guys are doing good

I bought the 84 indy 600 brand new that winter, It was a rocket for the time period. I think they rated it at 95 HP
Rob Major
Hahah 👍
I would like to spend a whole day with Dave and learn something.
I have an aerocharger on a 97 mxz 670......it works unbelievably well.....two stroke turbos rock
Do you know any specs on that turbo as far as size goes? I would like to turbo my Indi 500 efi and need some help.

I need a fallow up on this!! Make power!!
congratulations for this spectacular video that you shared on youtube, I follow you from Italy
Seems the bearings are shot in that turbo!
I would love to find a turbo kit for my 88 indy 650 build I'm doing or for my 87 indy 600 or for my 78 centurion 500
Theirs one of these sleds local to me with the turbo kit for sale for not a bad price I’ve been tempted to pick it up
Rebuild the bearing on the turbo and do more videos on it.
That's awesome !!!
Is this Roadkill for snowmobiles?
6:13 unsuccessfully looking for ten mil
My uncle has 3 650 indy and I have a 2000 xc 600cc twin good video.
2000 xc SP 600? or just plain xc?
@@SpicyBloodBean it deluxe with cobra windshield.
@@tylermurphy420 nice i have the 2000 xc sp 600 45th anniversary edition mine has power valves though only the SP had power valves that year thats why i was asking
@@SpicyBloodBean cool.
Excellent video guys
Great vid guys!
I’d love an early storm Sks with a turbo from that period. The first turbo mountain sled
Where can I buy this exact setup
Have the same sled and two other indys an 89 400 and a 93 700
Love the end😂😂😂
I need to know how to get in contact with him any ideas how?
My father owns one of those Indy 600s Limited edition! For sale too :)
you should make a copy of those instructions for everyone to benefit from
That’s the same way the Polaris boost engine works, airbox wise
Dave !!! Fix my triples!
He keeps saying its going to grenade .i had total faith 92 sleds dont sould that old to me it feels like yesterday i bought a 92 articat 440 mabe 20 years ago but feels like
I have nothing but good things to say about spoiled sports.
does this turbo fit on indy xlt 600?
That was funny!
Hmm I think my rxl needs one. But need a way to hack the pooter
3:00 someone doing math on the wall
Old school are best.
Need some triple pipes???
Hi gays🖖nise job💪😉
The amount of money to turbo a 600 and you could have had a 850
I’d put mesh over that turbo or it’s gonna suck up nothing but crap
Cool idea but I bet it makes less hp with the turbo.. In fact it would make less. Piston port with zero tuning. Cool idea though lol.
I saw several turbo kits on piston Port triples back in the day and they worked really well when actually set up properly.
Lol to funny always worth a try
Did it blow up? Lol
All those awesome old sleds rotting in trailers instead of being sold at reasonable prices to guys that would run them. They will be worth less each year as they deteriorate, shame!
Who said they're rotting lol
Just buy the 850 instead!!
“3 lil Indyans “ mildly racist
Did not know you could turbo a 2T
Yes, it has been done many times over the years. If setup properly, the hp gains can be exponential. Very difficult to tune a carborated two-stroke though.
Blow through carb setups are a bit tricky. The new sleds are all direct injection 2 strokes so it is very easy.
Lol awesome!
Literally the worst sled to put a turbo on…this channel is questionable
Switch 800 dude shut the fuck up
People like u smh
Switch 800 you un cultured swine
Are u high? Just bc these sleds are old doesn't mean they can't have a turbo on it u uncultured swine
@@yeboidustin8725 clearly you don’t understand sleds at all…or their history. Have another tide pod bud
