    RTV1100-motor is done

    RTV1100-motor is done

    It only smoked when reving it up. Running full throttle no smoke. I'll try adding pictures of other 2 pistons, not sure if I mentioned it, but head has a hairline crack too.

    If mine goes back together with a turbo, I'll be adding a pyrometer. Just to keep an eye on things. Might have to back off the boost come summertime.

    I did the settings as stated in the turbo install instructions. It would run hotter than normal. If travelling uphill on back roads for extended periods of time, it might reach 3/4 mark on gauge. What exhaust temp was I don't know.

    hi air intake

    Rtv 1100 turbo issues

    Sorry for the late reply. I'll post some pictures of how clean it all looked to me. Swabbing my finger in pipe it seemed clean. It could be the dirty air filter LATiger was talking about. I cleaned it all up and put new filters in.

    Rtv 1100 turbo issues

    But where is it coming from? That part of the turbo should not have any oil in it

    Rtv 1100 turbo issues

    That's what it is. There should not be any oil there. Could it be coming from any other place than the turbo.

    Rtv 1100 turbo issues

    I put a turbo on my 1100 and right from the start I had the issue that are showing in the pictures. The turbo kit manufacturer says it is common for them to do it. The gasket is good and the screws are tight. It actually seems to be getting worse. I've been farming all my life and have. Been...

    Rtv 1100 LED light bar question

    Ribs were really good.It has to be snowing really hard for it to bother me. It doesn't happen that often that I'm driving when it's snowing. Would rather have them up there for the rest of the year.
