Hey guys, we have finished testing our prototype reeds for 2-stroke turbo specific model applications. Like many of you we struggled with the frustrations of cracked, broken and missing petals under extreme boost levels and lean sneezes. Over the past few months we have done testing on a variety of materials including stainless steel, non-ferrious metals, and various fiber materials, thicknesses, including many other manufactures reeds.
Unfortunatelly, for our application we could not keep reed petals alive over 25psi of boost, which lead us on the quest for new durable materials and designs. I'm happy to say that we have put our new steel material reeds to the ultimate test of 36 psi of boost on our 2-stroke Yamaha Vmax-4 for over 10 dyno test runs @ Dynotech Research for a new horsepower record of 560.2 hp and 332 ft. lbs of torque. After further inspection the new petals are excellent in condition and our material has great memory for holding form.
So the good news for you boondocker riders and race purpose sleds that can't afford to be stuck with something as simple as a failed reed assembly there is a new option for you riders. We have finished with our Arctic Cat reeds in 2-petal and 4-petal designs, and running our first production of our Polaris twin version. The Cat reeds are being tested by Glenn Hall of D&D Racing and should be offered thru him after further testing. We are currently working on our Ski-Doo production reeds... hold tight we should have an alternative option for you gentleman as well. Not knocking anyones reed products, just another solid option for some of you to have regardless of who's turbo kit you operate, and one less reliability issue to worry about.
Thank you,
Justin Durand
