To be honest the best way to get a perfect boost reference is to do a pitot tube like how powderlites did on the rx1 and vector kits. It is a 1/2" od thin wall tube. With a 90 bend in it Face the open mouth of the tube into the air stream in the center of the charge tube. This will give the smoothest reference. What you have will work but I bet it won't be as good as the one I just described. Because at the edge your airflow could be choppy. Also best to try to have 6 inches of straight charge tube before it as well to unsure no choppy flow. The dynamic pressure on the pitot will be perfect just as it was for the carb turbos that powderlites did. MCexpress did something similar though I never say a pic of it.
This is how it looks from a different angel, This is a important part of the system it's going to take tuning to get it running proper. 583s tube would be a lot easer to tune.
The hardest part so far is trying to figure out this thing, I hate fome, I don't cut well, weld good, or grind worth a f?ck

lookin good buddy!
just curious why you set the tank insert so dang far back in the tunnel?? get that weight forward!!

As as for the foam, if I read that right, cutting foam is easiest with an electric knife, like the one used at Thanksgiving/Christmas for carving turkeys. Makes foam cut like butter.....
The track gets tight to the tunnel in the front, I wanted to mount the bottle as low as I could. I did want it to close to the turbo as well
my external almost rubs on my tank... its just radiant heat. dont worry to much.
and yeah, forgot how the tunnels are built on those.

This thing has be way to much work.
I can belive I spent most of the winter working on this thing and have not rode it yet, it is getting close to being done. Friday nights i been stay at home working at it.
I built myself a little oven for powder coating, next time I will make sure the bottle is not full
The seat was a pain, it not like working with metal, best thing I found is to glue a wack of foam together and shape it with a rolex disk on a die grinder
This is the heat exchanger for the water to air set up
On a budget so a lot of things are built or modded, I extended the rails, (but not enough) for a 162 powder claw.
This is the BOV after the mixer, its going to blow out a compressed propane charge, have to vent it outside the engine compartment

Nice work, keep the updates coming!
looks WAY good.
advice, black propane tank LOOKS cool but keep it out of the sun on warm days!!!

the mixer and regulator sizing is easy. there are very few options, and its the same stuff simmons runs.
Well got to ride the Pig, It's been a few years since I was on a 4 cycle
yammy. First day it was for sale after the 3rd day in the hills was really
starting to dig it. The propane thing works well, quite responsive and not
much tuning at all. Tested it up to +25 psi, it seems to run best at 17.
Had a few isues, blew a fuse on the pump for the water to air intercooler,
after I fixed it was a totally different machine, I could not believe what that
cooler does! The ticket is to have lots of cooler in the tunnel, mine is
exposed on both sides.
Need to build a heat shield around the turbo, started to melt the coil so I repositioned
it and foiled it. Melted up some plastic and my snow pants as well.
The thing pissed oil all weekend, need to move the breather in front of the oil tank....
Loved the Power vary smooth and linner

NICE WORK!! glad to see you finaly got it out and about ripping!
how is the midrange fueling working out with that setup??

It's pretty good, running 12.7 wot, 13.5 mid boost but idle and low range is is fat...... 12.0 I need a start enrichener so I can lean that out a bit, if I tune it leaner than 13 the idle get a little choppy.
Honestly Nick I would have not enbarked on this project if you never built one first and told me the ins and outs of it.. thanks again

glad she worked out man! its a stupid simple system that just needs the right TLC to make it rip. now get us some videos!!!

Boyko, you're from Canada so I figure you could appreciate this. It completely relates to the topic of the Propane Nytro.
