I'm going to be installing my new Hahn turbo Saturday. Everyone in town is welcome to come by and help, spectate, and exchange conversation. I've never installed a turbo before so this will be a "by the book" process for me and anyone who is knowledgeable is welcome to come and bring their input, or just come and make fun of me doing it. We'll have some food and beer but if you wanna bring some you're welcome to.
PM me for info
This is something that should be done under warranty yes?
Display MoreThey get e-mails and notifications on their dealer network when Digital Wrench updates are available ......
But if they never check it or don't perform their system updates then.....well ....
But don't you know the forums are just full of rumors and misinformation....
.
Yeah thats pretty much the response I got. How does Houston not have a good polaris dealer...
Guess Mancuso just sucks..
My dealer doesn't show this update anywhere in his system.
The floor panels are easily removed and could be replaced with some rhino-liner'd aluminum or steel. I have been considering it.
I really want one I just can't justify the cost...
Display More@lokati, stock kendas are cheap, crap, hard tires, so they suck in all situations imo.
I am not saying that a wide tire can't have decent traction in rain, but a wide tire will have less traction on slippery surface than a slimer tire, if comparing the same tire. Of course you can get better grip from one tire to the next just by using a different compound and tread pattern.
But in general, in the wet, wider tire has more change for hydroplaning than a slimer tire because the same weight is being pushed on a larger surface, so less pressure per inch on the wider tire. Now this can be altered a bit by thread design etc, but normally, a great dry tire will not be very good in wet conditions and vice versa.
Yeah, I agree all variables the same a thinner tire will have better wet traction than a wider tire. Just wanted to point at that not all wide tires are bad. Personally, I think there's something going on more than just traction in a lot of these hydro planing. The SS does some weird things with its electronic traction control, stability control, abs and throttle management.
the problem with wet performance is this:
Most guys want to get a larger rear tire for added grip, but this goes the other way in the wet. You can't have best of both. So of course if you run a 315 in the rear, I don't care what brand or thread, its gonna suck.
Double with 300hp and a turbo.
You want good wet traction, go slim. Dry traction, large. Stock size is good compromise, can't have both.
Honestly, I do value your opinion iNewton, you have been a wealth of information. And I understand that a lot of issues with traction are truly hard to pinpoint exactly what happened, but I am running a 345 Toyo T1R out back and have had it in the rain several times and drove pretty aggressively to get a feel for the limits of the tire and had absolutely no issues. Infact, I would say traction was only nominally affected by the actual rain. Now of course I am on Texas roads that are well maintained and in a particularly up scale area I suppose so there is probably less oil and debris on the roads I'm on but I am positive that the 345 toyo t1r is handling vastly better in the rain than the thinner stock kendas.
Agreed, I sent 2 emails and 2 pms and heard nothing back. Based on current level of customer service and self advocation of being "Tier 1" I wouldn't put their parts on my vehicle if it was free.
I gotta say, the SSV works stuff is quality shit. I was a little unhappy with the price point but the sub enclosure I got is super top notch!
Honestly, I don't know the stats but I browse the forum from the "Unread posts" link almost exclusively. I would imagine many people do. So the location of the threads is irrelevant to me.
I stumbled across this:

What do you think the changes of getting a proper intake manifold on the slingshot is 
Oh there could definitely be coffee and food for you, regardless of the oil cooler situation 
Unfortunately in tx not fl
Oooh GP, how much can I donate to st. jude to get a turn key setup from you
@gpcustoms You have one installed? Love to hear you chime in. I'm definitely interested in doing one.
Ooh, let me know. I like the idea of an oil cooler
the other half of the turbo is coming in, along with all the audio. So I took the day off to at least do the audio and then try to decide whether or not to try to get the turbo done before sunday
