Just a heads up. On another forum I read the you have to use a 16 trans with a 16 turbo engine. The turbo motor will not work with the older trans. He worked for the trans builder.

I suggested that in an old thread as there have been a couple of factory teams (3 that I know of) that have all built another car this year. I'll give cognito a pass as theirs was a 4 seater but I believe the other 2 are 2 seaters. At the time I was promptly shot down but I guess we'll find out. It would be a huge marketing win for polaris to have a team win with the turbo right away.

And he wont be. He's had his hands full preparing to backflip his RZR at his next freestylemx show in Sturgis. Ought to be interesting, as he has only landed in foam pits so far.

So... okay so that's a new rule (which is a good rule in my humble opinion)...which is effective Jan 1 2016- so to my point, unless some of the Polaris guys received motors AND a 2016 CHASSIS weeks if not months ago... they more than likely wont be racing V2R with a Turbo car..guess we'll see. It would be interesting if Burnett shows up with a Turbo motored car.. says its a 16 and if anyone objects. He can just simply says prove it's not a 16...innocent until proven guilty and the onus is on the accuser. Ok edit: just Saw BAM's message saying he wont be there with a Turbo car... would have still been an interesting test of the mentality of the rule makers.. thanks for the Input BAM..

When you get just a frame from the Factory (as the Pro teams sometimes do) my chassis didn't have a VIN number on it.. as they are not complete vehicles. Assuming Polaris Chassis may not either.. but not certain.

We are very excited to see all the new SxS's that line up at V2R.
A lot of the full desert tube chassis builds out there have the VIN number tube cut out of the car.
Pro Production class UTVs must
utilize the stock chassis (frame) and maintain
stock appearance. The stock chassis (frame) is defined as, the main lower rails
running along the inner sides of the UTV and the front and rear tubes that connect
them.
I was refering to the Vin number on the rear vertical tube, as per the rules only the bottom center horizontal tubes need to be retained.

No kidding on all of the mid season rule changes. No turbos, than turbos, no motor swaps, than motor swaps, but motor swap until 2016. What a joke...........
We keeped all of the rear plate that we had to including the tubes. The vin # was up higher on the tube past the plate. She gone............

As of Jan 1 2016 you can according to the new rules of UTVRA... its a good call in my opinion- its going to keep a lot of the 2015 Polaris's in play in the Pro class...
wish they had done this last year for the Mavericks...but since it only applied to a couple of cars in Pro class (mine and Gastel... UTVRA didnt think it was warranted, and the way its written- our cars still cant because we have different pick up points (the older antiqued design) than the new turbo cars...

Yeah maybe... Im sure your right about the components... so whats that $12-15k (for the non factory guy) to do vs building a whole new car at 65-75k (plus selling the na car at a huge discount) heck..double heck, you could do that swap overnight at your place..fer free you freeloader
Its c going to keep a lot of the privateers in the game and competitive for next year..even affordable to still have a competitive car. The guys who do want to build a new car that have $ still have a market for the NA car on the used market...since they can be turbo'd and run in Pro.Does any one not realize that this car is not going to have a higher top speed? Its just going to have more punch in the middle. But you will have any easy 60lbs more weight and alot more stuff to break. Alot of people just need to have an issue free day and they can win.
