Full Version: put a turbo on a utility quad?
i was wondering if anyone has ever done this? it seems like it would do alright. i think i am going to try it this winter and see how it works.
are you doing this for speed?
more wheel spin. and probly get a little more on top. but mostly more power.
What is the quad?
03 magnum 330 4x4.
Sounds like youd definatly be better off buying a new wheeler, i dont see a 330 magnum handling a turbo, im actually surprised their is one made for this model.

they really don't make them for any utility wheelers. fab it yourself. i found the turbo that i can use. its made for quads and bikes. its just on the drawing board right now. it will be winter before i start on it.
Im wondering if they wheeler itself will hold up to the power your going to be making?

it should. its not going to be making a massive difference. the drive train it basically the same as the 500. tranny, front dif, drive shafts, only real dif is motor and rearend. my motor will be basically brand new in a couple days as i just put the main bearings on the crank and today i am putting the new rod w/lower bearing in and new piston kit. bored .010 over just to make sure its straight. i did some reseating of the valves, cleaned the ports a little. just jet accordingly and dont over boost. my biggest thing is location for the turbo. i seen on a sportsman they put it right off the head basically, and i really dont like that idea, as that will see alot of mud and water. the turbo is small enough to fit inside of my airbox with some minor mods. i donno i will figure something out by the time it starts to happen.
I'd like to put one on one of my DS650's.. I just haven't found a cheap turbo yet...
Go on highlifter.com. there are quit a few guys doing this. mostyl on sportsmans and renegades. They have serious mud raving in louisiana and texas where most of these boys are from.
Theres a few guys on atvconnection that run turbos on sportsman 700's
I don't think a hot turbo will like water/mud too much.

your airbox will melt, that turbo is going to get hot!!
I wouldnt do it on a 330. Find a liquid cooled quad.
