130HP Engine Swapped Odyssey Is Finished! Paint/Rebuild

Our Polaris 800 engine swapped Honda Odyssey ATV is finally finished! We rebuild the RMK engine with Wiseco pistons, sanded/restored the frame and painted it with Gloss Ford Red tractor paint. We love the look and love how it drives. Once we can travel again we will build some custom fenders, tune the clutch and take the Honda Odyssey FL250 gone 800 to the dunes!

[@dukebacher1216]

Edwin- The camera work and editing are amazing! But the music during the time lapse (around the 7 minute time) really leaves a lot to be desired. As a musician, the overmodulated synthesizers and off-the-wall drum beat really detracts from the high quality camera/editing work you do. But, I guess that sound is what's popular in videos nowadays... Anyway, Keep up the good work- all 3 of you are some of the most talented guys in the "7B"! (ya make us proud!) Stay Safe! Edit: Rest of the music was awesome!~

[@bertkilborne6464]

A guy gave me two crashed 800 polaris snowmobiles ... About in 2015 So I guess it's about time to check into doing something with those. I think the Odyssey is the most sensible swap . I like that the 800 has a Y-Pipe that can be routed into a single pipe which makes swaps simpler.

[@colingotch1871]

[@Tootall206]

As a lifelong motorized madness builder I salute you! Solid frame! Nice engine!!! Tip: Give it a few degrees more camber and caster. And look at the bump/rebound of your front shocks.The tires bounce. (18:27 left front, and later when he almost veered into the car) Less bump, more rebound? The front doesn't bite... And lacking a diff it makes the handling unpredictable. Personaly I like the front to always listen. That way I can get the rear end to follow on throttle input. Tight front, loose rear.

Another pro tip here, when it comes to spray cans of paint or anything I find it very helpful to let the can sit in a warm water bath to bring the contents up to temp for better flow.

Nice works guys and thank you for staying true to the “Ride Red” Honda paint scheme, if you raise the rear of the machine it will add more weight transfer and steer better, because it squats so much with the added power this is something to consider...

[@AnonyMous-jf4lc]

@@eyeballengineering7007 tightening the secondary would not allow the primary to "upshift". It actually sounds like the problem here is twofold. I would add heavier weights in the primary to start, this would help with off idle engagement being that it doesn't have to turn a massive track, then see if the upshifting improves. If it's backshifting good, but not upshifting, swap the helix. If the backshift is overly aggressive, take the spring down a notch or two, or replace for a lighter one.

[@Robert-qm7yi]

Chance Alot Meh, it's ok. Radiator is in a great spot for air flow, also a great spot for a hot shower if it springs a leak. CVT belt is exposed, a splash of water and you're either gonna burn the belt or wait for it to dry, theres a good bit of refinement to do

[@stevenclevenger9032]

Was so looking forward to seeing the hurricane running this week. No worries, y'all content is always on point. Thank u

[@josephdecesaro1528]

You guys should make a cowl for the radiator if you are using a fan. The fans make a low pressure zone pulling air thru the rad but only where the blades are. If you have a cowl around the fan it makes the low pressure zone the whole rad not just the center circle. Another plus is that will add a bit of a shield to limbs and dirt on the topside of the rad too.
