I just told my husband save your pennies I need this 👍

[@bretstephensen8821]

What a great video showing first hand the increase in performance with the Force Turbo on the KRX. This is a first indeed! I hope that Kawasaki is watching!

[@richr909]

Thanks for making this video. I knew the KRX was a slower side by side but damn it seems really slow out of the hole to me. But combined with that turbo kit it seems like it becomes the perfect machine. It excels in every other category. Fix the speed with a turbo and your all set for many years to come.

[@justinblancet2629]

Awesome video! Thank you for all the hard work you guys do. Way to pull through with the KRX turbo race vrs stock. I am really impressed with the performance. Can’t wait to get a turbo on my KRX.

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Thank you so much! Let us know how we can help!

[@justinblancet2629]

If I bought a turbo kit through you all would you be able to instal everything on my KRX? If so how long would the installation take? I am from TX but it would be worth the trip to get the KRX turbo installed and then hit some trails in your state.

[@JauntJunkies]

Awesome. Run it against another turbo machine to show how it does.

[@kevinruddles452]

Well sir I told you I wanted this kit and a few months later like three days ago I called John at force turbo and ordered it. The SWAMP DONKEY is going TURBO!!!

[@rosyboiztv4952]

I think we need to demo that bad girl out at the dunes Jared!!

[@wickedmainah950]

Krx is an awsome machine just too big to ride in alot of my area. Looks like fun with the turbo. I just like the big travel and it's built like a tank

[@kevinruddles452]

That is freaking awesome!!!!!+

[@dustinbieri9786]

I would really like to c this up against a machine like a pro xp, turbo s, or can am x3. Because you could buy one of those machines for the same price if not cheaper for the price of a krx with a turbo kit. My other issue is what's this do to belt longevity or fuel consumption. The oem turbo stuff has all of this already sorted obviously very well. So it would b helpful to compare to the machines it's attempting to compete with.

[@sidewinderdesigns8889]

Does the Turbo kit come with a full header performance exhaust, performance muffler and does it come with a power programmer chip.

[@jimallen9772]

Very impressed thanks Jared

[@atvpt]

What is the top end speed with the turbo?

[@larryallenjr4962]

Jared it sounds a little off. Is that just the microphone on the camera picking up that flutter/harmonic?

[@dabears52501]

Nice shirt Jared! I have the same one.

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Thank you! I love it too!

[@1gr8oil]

I personally know Bryce Kendrick and the work he has done withe the "FORCE" Turbo Systems he has developed. However, I wonder if the TURBO on any machine would be a good thing for riding trails in the Mountains? Do they "SPOOL UP" at low RPM's to give you more Power/Torque, or do they require more RPM to give more boost?

[@boostedbadboyzx12r31]

Can this turbo system actually be turned up to make over 200hp?

[@a90kris]

What’s the max speed with and without the turbo

[@davidcarpenter9231]

That turbo is awesome

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Agreed!

[@charlesholbrook8428]

Ever think that forced turbos would probably make more money and sell more turbos if the cost was more accommodating? $4,200 to add a few hp? Sure they are gonna sell some but wouldn’t they sell more at a realistic price point? Just one guy’s opinion that definitely isn’t gonna spend 4K for a few more ponies.

[@HollywoodOG]

Definitely agree

[@williamrgordonjr2291]

What would that KRX ES cost with that turbo installed..?

[@Eighty8Fitter]

Crank up the BOOST! Price?

[@moparman33952]

this is awesome would love to have this and full tuning and clutching to put all power to the ground and also gain top end speed

[@dabears52501]

You won't gain much top speed without MAJOR clutch uograde.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

Top end speed will be limited...isn’t 70 mph fast enough?

[@brandonstover8867]

Will this void the factory Kawasaki warranty?

[@DirtRoadBoyz2]

Amazing

[@mainlyoctober]

Jared, I’m sure you’ve been asked this before but the installation of this turbo kit voided the warranty, correct? I just bought a 3 year from you back in February. Hate to throw that away brother! Great video as always!

[@ThatCarGuyEddie]

Yes

[@krisgarner5020]

I'd like to see it run against a krx that's had some clutch work. Mine seems sluggish out of the hole. Was thinking about changing the weights.

[@mddunlap03]

Me to. I want to see one with the same basic mods the turbo got. A tune,clutch,exhaust. As a xp1000 owner I can say you gap stock machines with just a air filter, tune,exhaust, and clutch kit. Getting the clutch dialed in alone can make a 15-20% difference in whp through most of the curve. After doing a gear reduction in mine It was no faster than stock because cvt works off the load and it was holding it down to 6000 rpm vs 8250 where it makes peak power.

[@willcultra3268]

Crazy but if makes it sound like a turbo RZR. I guess since they’re both 1000cc parallel-twin engines, that makes sense.

[@rickclark8946]

looks to have turbo lag ?

[@TheVanguard43]

So slap it up against a x3 120hp model I'd like to see that. I really appreciate them trying but without a intercooler I'm no where near interested. Someone be it honda or krx needs to find a turbo model that can run eith the price and power of the 120hp x3. 19k or a krx for 18k+4200 for more power...

[@ThatCarGuyEddie]

I need way more Info, what are they using to tune it? Any clutch work?

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Check out our previous video on it:)

[@1hasbeen531]

Interesting to see how the wet-clutch tolerates this long-term, even at low boost.

[@DUNEATV]

Good point...

[@richardmoon2882]

Have t heard to many issues yet bout them but hopefully it won’t end up how arctic cats wet clutch did

[@Just_Joe71]

You can tell he's not mashing the throttle on the stock machine.

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Jared was driving it. We assure you he was.

[@509Jedi]

Is this just the turbo kit with Dynojet clutch kit?

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

Yes!

[@shannonstiles8751]

Nice

[@robgoffroad]

So... 40 hp for $4200. Hmm. I would hope it'd get to 200 hp with a turbo. Nice improvement, yes, but not sure I'm gonna spend four grand on that.

[@sambeyer1690]

What’s the max top speed we can see?

[@Infamouscoma885]

So much for Kawasaki releasing one from them. Nope had to have another company make a kit

[@motorheadjunkie2527]

Question, where is the intercooler for the turbo?

[@Supertramp01]

Isn't one... And only 5psi of boost or you'll be blowing your plastic manifold off. Wait for the kraftwerks supercharger

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

As previously stated above there isn't one. Check out our previous video on it for more information.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@Supertramp01 so...will they ever release it??? Will they modify the manifold?

[@Supertramp01]

@@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors Kraftwerks come with a new manifold and should be released in 2 months

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@Supertramp01 wonder what the estimated cost will be and will be intercooled?

[@copisetic1104]

I have serviced and been around turbos of various types and uses for years. When I’m 50 miles out in the desert in southern Utah I want to get home safely and having quick 0-60 times and 160HP is the last thing on my list. But you guys have fun with that.

[@earlpreston1043]

The clutch will not tolerate the added power and neither will the rest of the machine! It will be a maintenance nightmare! Mine can't even take 35 Inch tires and a tune!

[@brandonstover8867]

Clutching and gearing is a huge issue. That thing tops out way to quick! Krx is geared way to low

[@StubProductions]

It’s geared low for 35’s. Perfect for us folk in the eastern mountains.

[@SuperReddog17]

ya should have force raise or illiminate the speed limiter in there tune.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

They could, but with the boost, high compression, fuel system already being heavily taxed with non-forged pistons...you are asking for trouble...

[@crappieworldlivescanner1114]

How much is it installed?????

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

The kit is $4,199 and you are looking at approximately $700 for the installation.

[@williamlegg3641]

How does it affect the warrenty

[@Supertramp01]

In a big way... totally voids it

[@BIGPINESPORTSUT]

It will void the Factory Warranty.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@BIGPINESPORTSUT what about your warranty???

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

Now....let’s compare to another turbo unit...please Jared...and yes, I’m sure the KRX will be slower in that it is heavier with a bit less power...

[@MidLifeCrisisAdventures]

Keep in mind when you see Kawasaki weights that they are the only manufacturer I'm aware of that weighs wet. Other manufacturer weights given to you don't even have a drop of oil in the drivetrain.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@MidLifeCrisisAdventures true but maybe 20 lb difference?

[@MidLifeCrisisAdventures]

Wet weight includes fuel, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and battery. Maybe 150 lbs or more.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@MidLifeCrisisAdventures your right, forgot about the other fluids…especially the fuel…that’s a good 80lbs by itself!

[@Rocket39Smoke14]

I learned that it takes a one of kind KRX to beat a Rmax.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

That may be true on flat ground...but let’s race any KRX against an RMax in course with whoops, jumps and other high speed stuff and let’s see who comes out on top. The next thing is to put them through some serious rock crawling where articulation comes in...I’ve been there and seen first hand the difference between a KRX with 20” travel vs other rigs with no more than 15”. Both have their advantages and places. None are superior to another in every way.

[@Rocket39Smoke14]

@@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors I agree. I was commenting on the side by side testing Jared has done with the Rmax vs the KRX. If the cops were chasing us, the KRX driver would be in jail. 😉

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@Rocket39Smoke14 yea, people get hung up on the KRX’s lack-luster straight like performance. That thing shines on its trail riding and rock crawling ability. My small group has had many different sport machines since 2013. The KRX is at the top of heap in overall performance and quality.

[@Rocket39Smoke14]

@@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors I'm sure it is. Just not so sure a turbo will make the KRX a reliable trail/rock crawler machine as stock.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@Rocket39Smoke14 I agree. The forced induction would be much safer in that engine from the factory with lower compression pistons and camshaft profiles suited for it. That is one of, if not the highest compression ratio sxs engine, which creates high pressure on its own. I think the 5 psi is safe but still lowers the overall reliability of the engine. Also, it won’t make it any better at trail riding and crawling...maybe just a bit more fun on the straights 😉

[@toecutter1547]

OK thats a faster turbo.. But really its not that much faster. Most people arent EVIL Kneevl. My new krx is such a blast 100% stock!!! Plus that turbo set up will void your warranty and is 4 THOUSAND $$$ and a real prone to PROBLEMS add on. NO THANKS

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

Give Jared, BPS and Force Turbo credit for getting this out. No, it’s not for everyone but some are thrilled that it is now available. Will I get one...probably not but I’m happy it is an option.

[@marka1712]

As impressive as that is, I don’t plan on drag racing my krx especially on pavement. On muddy, rocky and loose trails this is probably almost useless. Also with 35s ppl are already breaking front diffs and front driveshafts. I’m sure some of those breakages are driver related but adding that much power and bigger tires has gotta be asking for premature failures.

[@Supertramp01]

What? You mean you're gonna use your machine for what it was made for...offroading? How dare you!!! These were built for street drags and bragging right...get with the program

[@jeremypreston1593]

After having two rzr 1000 turbos I won't own another one that is naturally aspirated even for offroad riding. They are much funner to ride all the way around. As for 35's I think you will be fine if you don't trash the things. Far to many people beat the poor machine to death and wonder why it doesn't last.

[@Supertramp01]

@@jeremypreston1593 I am not ragging on the turbo itself.. I am ragging on drag racing on the road...i Get the race is for comparison but I mean.. lets see some hill climbs, mud boggs, sand runs... trail riding. It amazes me how many people want to drag race other units... dont care how fast you are in a straight away.. turbo or not it comes down to drive skills in the real world. You can have the fastest sxs on the planet but if you cant drive it or your machine handle like shit or is constantly broke down...what are you proving? That your fast on a road?

[@patd4u2]

@@Supertramp01 Spot on comment, I used to watch that SXSblog, but those guys all they do is drag race, Totally useless channel for what these machines were designed for. I was on a Kawasaki KRX Facebook group, but like you said they put 35 inch tires on these and abuse them and then they're always complaining about this is breaking and that is breaking. They have no idea how to drive these machines. All they are interested in is putting their rides on KZbin to get views.
