Doing a z1 swap on my 2013 Xp, so figured I'd make a build thread. Car was bought to stay stock and be reliable, that lasted 4 months. First step into this was a built Xp motor and a k&t water to air turbo set up. That lasted about 4 months also. It was fun and definitely Fast. I contemplated doing a bb stroker Xp motor with a stand alone Ecu but decided that wouldn't be enough so I just bagged that idea.
I decided to just buy a crate motor from arctic cat for the swap.
Then I picked up a Hawk Engineering kit from Jason

The craftsmanship and quality of this kit was amazing, and super easy to install.
Bought a bigger turbo with a billet wheel for a little extra fun.
Also a water meth kit. I plan to inject meth Pre turbo and post turbo.
I'll be using a Vipec ecu.
This year I'll run stock internals with 22 lbs of boost, and then next fall I'll tear her down for some revisions.
Parts should be showing up any time now, trying to get this rolling before new years.
Here are some pictures in the cars stages.
