What do you get when you cross these two...

POLCAT

Teardown starts tomorrow.

 

[megadesertdiesel]

now that will rip!!! keeping it a 4 seater?

 

[cek]

Yep. 4 seats and 300+ HP. Lots of cool stuff coming. Suspension, cage, cool interior etc....

Nice looking forward to seeing this build.

I'll keep y'all posted.

I'm guessing it has the Suzuki turbo engine? I can see the intercooler...

Yes....

Little bit of tear down today. What a PITA. I think the build the sled around the engine.

How do you add multiple pics on one reply?

awww polcats are cute little guys, I bet this'll be a cute little machine

 

[cek]

A little bit of progress.

Sled engine out.

What year is that engine?

Any-way it will prolly fly when you get her done

Wish I had time to get to mine

Getting close.... Gotta love the HCR and King combo.

I don't know much about motors, so pardon my ignorance, but how come a single passenger snowmobile that must weigh around 750lbs, has 300% more horsepower than a 1,500 lb. UTV designed to carry 4 full sized adults? I take it that the snowmobile is an Arctic cat (based on Polcat), but it has a Suzuki turbo charged engine. Are those motors factory available in the snowmobiles? Is the 300 h.p. a result of just turbo charging the engine, as delivered, or extensively modifying the engine? On the snowmobile, does the secondary clutch drive a transmission output shaft, or is it a direct connection to the track? Why the motor swap instead of modifying the Xp engine, and will the snowmobile now become a Arct-laris!? And lastly, is the 300 h.p. reliable horse power?

Stock, the Suzuki engine produces 177hp. Being turbo, it is easy to turn up the boost... but I'm sure there's more to it when pushing 300. The 4 stroke sled engines tend to be very reliable, even when pushing significantly higher numbers than stock.

Snowmobiles can handle a lot of power as the newer designs have awesome suspensions. On trail riding can actually be very similar to the desert... small, medium, and large moguls form. Sleds have a large advantage over wheeled vehicles though, their skis, and more importantly, their tracks, bridge the moguls... we can run them at speeds that would send a wheeled vehicle end over end.

The really big power is handy for racing on lakes and climbing in the mountains.


Most snowmobiles currently have a chain case after the belt and clutches. This allows easy gearing changes and is fairly efficient. The lower sprocket in the case runs the driveshaft/track drivers. Some of the more recent Arctic Cats had a gear drive system, but they may have dumped it by now(?).

The snowmobile is over 175 hp stock with a turbo. There is a lot left from the factory. Very minimal mods to get over 300 hp. Computer program some exhaust work and race fuel is pretty much all it takes. 240-260hp is bolt on from lots of aftermarket guys. And yes it's a Suzuki. Arctic Cat is starting to do their own motors now. Snowmobiles are cvt drivin just like a UTV. So that part is a piece of cake. As far as the Arct-laris.... The snowmobile has lost its battle with life and become an organ donor. Lol

Thanks for the clarity. I still didn't get if the Arctic Cat snowmobile comes stock (or optional) from the factory with the Suzuki motor.
