  • Differences in radiators?

    Quote from Dave@DDMWorks

    Nope, the steam line coming off of the radiator was a little redundant in the original setup on the 2015-2016 models. They took it off in the 2016.5 models and since the upper radiator hose will still allow any air to go up to the steam line coming off of the cylinder head, the one on the radiator is no longer needed.

    thanks for chiming in, Dave.. so will this one work for my 15? 16 Polaris Slingshot Radiator 1240765 1241022 | eBay

  • Here we go again..2nd motor gone after alpha supercharger

    The local shop I have it now will rebuild the engine with forged internals. After they are done I will have a boost pressure gauge installed. I do plan on removing the baffle from the 1320 exhaust and maybe even going with another exhaust. The reason why i put the baffle on was due to the loudness of the 1320. I will remove it after it is delivered back to me.

  • Here we go again..2nd motor gone after alpha supercharger

    yes I have an AFR gauge..didnt see anything out of the norm. I have the 1320 headers and exhaust with a baffle..you think the baffle has something to do with it? I put it on because without the baffle the exhaust is too loud for me.

  • Here we go again..2nd motor gone after alpha supercharger

    Yep..here I go again.. after the original motor getting blown to bits, here I am again with another engine issue with the apparently ungodly power the alpha supercharger is putting out.. I initially thought the head gasket was blown on my second engine, but no..it appears that the #2 cylinder has been compromised. THIS TIME I am getting the engine rebuilt with forged internals and ARP head studs as I should have from the beginning. Not blaming fault on anybody here..my own fault for not building the engine from the start. Let's us all pray (for my wallet) these engine internals are the answer. (LOL). <X


    so the question is..has anybody other than me had issues with the alpha supercharger blowing engines? Seems like that I'm the only one having this issue. Bad luck?

  • Blown head gasket?

    Quote from rabtech

    Take the oil fill cap off and look at the bottom of it. If it looks like chocolate milk is stuck to it you have water getting into the oil. Pull the dipstick and look at it on the stick.


    Unfortunately I am going to say you have a serious problem somewhere. It might even be a crack in the casting of the block. But most likely a head gasket. What turbo system are you running? And why did you install a catch can originally?

    Im running the alpha supercharger. Running the catch can because of the oil pooling at the bottom of my blow off valve.

    Ok I checked the coolant level which is good and the oil dipstick which is not milky and the oil cap which doesn't have the milky substance on it.

    Quote from lrobbi

    Thanks @jaytee for the update, again sorry to see this happen to you.
    Dave gave me one of the new clips to place on mines when he was here last week, and I know he will ensure you have one on the new engine. With DDM setup I never had any issues with there Map Sensor popping out but nothing wrong with a little extra protection. If you need anything brother...just reach out ....
    And I guess its safe to say ...it was most likely not to much PSI or possible bad injectors that blew the puppy. Always something to be learned with these machines...

    thank you sir, and once again thank you for allowing me to utilize that nice trailer to roll down to SC to drop off my baby only to get babied for my baby! lol.
