Turbo RTV1100

well who ever would install the turbo would have to go the whole nine yards if you just have stock tires and your putt!putting around the yard then the turbo isn't for you but if you have bigger tires and you lost speed and power then the turbo is a good thing to look into because from what i read it brings back some of what you lost "plus you have to turn up the pump" but the turning up of the pump might not help being he lost it when he installed the tires ?? but gained it back after installing the turbo.

Well I guess it depends on how the guys were saying "it won't change the speed"

My interpretation is that they say for any of them it won't up the speed. The reason for that is they are already up to their rev limit with their light tires, but this guy with the turbo couldn't make it up there before because he had heavy tires. It did indeed give him a significant boost in speed but that was only due to the fact he had a significant decrease in speed shortly before it.

EDIT: this was written in response to your post before this last one.

In a nut shell yes.

so i'm wondering what it would do with stock tires and not doing any mods to the pump?it should still get you up to top speed quicker atleast in my thinking.

Yeah acelleration will improve just won't change the top speed at all.

i wonder if anyone has just thought of changing the flow regulators or valves on the pumps. we used to install them on the cranes and if we wanted to speed up the winch motors or how fast the crane swings you just turn up the flow on the valve .i bet bota has them regulated way down .i think i still have afew of them valves around the shed i'll try and dig some up and take some pictures .i can mail mikey a valve if i find it so he can test it out.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier , I have been busy with a furniture project. To answer the question at hand, the turbo adds power and in some cases speed but never top end speed. Let me explain: assume stock worksite tires. On flat ground w/o turbo the rtv would go 30 mph, with turbo it will still only go 30 mph but get there quicker. The speed of the rtv is limited by the engine revs and gearing. When I initially turned up the pump I also adjusted the throttle cable so the engine revs a bit higher giving me a little more speed. The turbo does absolutely nothing to increase the max rpm, so w/o changing the gearing or trans will not increase the top speed.
The turbo does increase speed going up a hill over stock because the machine has more power to maintain a higher speed. Again the top speed will not change. In other words, say I could go up a hill at 15 mph w/o turbo with my foot to the floor, with turbo I might go up the hill at 20mph because of the extra power, but in no event would I go over 30mph.
The deal with the surefoot tires is that in stock form the rtv would only go 17 mph because of the drag of the bigger tires; the extra size and weight of the tires, the drag from the aggressive tread and the extra width. With the turbo it will go 27mph because the the machine now has the power to reach max speed. I believe the reason the speedo only registers 27 mph is because the bigger tires throw off the reading.

you should have gained more speed with the bigger tires . please don't tell me the hpx has more power to turn the bigger tires than the rtv.lol when i installed my 27's i gained 4mph but i lost just a bit of low end.it seems to be the oposite on the rtv. thanks for replying mikey

Mikey,
Your turbo project inspired me to turbo my RTV1100. I purchased a new TD03 - 7G on ebay from JAWarehouse.

Was wondering how much max boost you are getting on your setup.

thanks, Chuck

a litle less than 5 lbs. The boost is adjustable on that turbo.
