Big thanks for the write up on this upgrade, while i didn't buy the can am upgrade kit I did get the fuel pump and intercooler fan from EVO and this showed me exactly what I had to do, My little black clip on the pump broke as well, those things are fragile, but was able to super glue it back together and it held nicely. thanks again and keep up the great videos

Great video Aaron,I've been waiting for you to do that.Roughly how long did that take and do still have a warranty on your x3?the dealership said if I do it it will void my warranty
@ftorvideo6 жыл бұрын
+Brad Cimock if you do it, voids the warranty. But the factory warranty here is only 6 months so meh. It does not void an extended warranty though. It took me probably an hour to do the pump and 40 minutes on the intercooler. 10 minutes to adjust the wastegate. Now having done it / seen this video... Much faster

AaronShea X3 So what your saying is do it when your six months warranty ends and your extended warranty starts?
@ftorvideo6 жыл бұрын
+Brad Cimock what I'm saying is, if you have an extended warranty - don't even worry about it. The warranty is so short, I wouldn't pay a dealer 5-7 hours of labor when all I had to do was buy a $60 vacuum pump to do it myself

AaronShea X3 are you piggy backing tunes? What stage of evo did you go with? Looking to do this same thing to mine with a stage 3 evo or pwrtune so very curious to see some videos from you and how you like it. Make sure you got the recall flash from evo with the safe tune.
@ftorvideo6 жыл бұрын
+West27 yes sir, it's honestly brutal acceleration. No lie. I'm on the trails right now.. so videos coming soon. It's a stage 3, and I did get the new tune. I spoke with the owner. The tune was fine, they just needed to adjust boost at the top RPM. He said long periods of hard acceleration in sand was causing higher boost on the top end. Which was fine if you run 100ll race gas. But for 91 they had to fix it. It pulls very hard

Is this the same kit that makes the 2018 120hp up to 172 or more with a flash upgrade? I bought a 120hp and didn't realize it didn't have an intercooler so now I'm just going to do the whole damn upgrade because it overheated at like 70 to75 degrees outside.
@ftorvideo6 жыл бұрын
Hey brotherman - I am not sure if the kit I installed is the same kit for that model unit. I would contact a company like Evolution Powersports and ask them how to convert a 120hp unit to 172hp properly, so you don't end up catching it on fire!

@halfbenjaminmarshall71346 жыл бұрын
Actually that's all a waste of money,all you need is the 18 fuel pump and have one of the tuners like Pwrtune reflash your ECU
@ftorvideo6 жыл бұрын
+Half Benjamin Marshall that's partially true. But to be clear for anyone reading this... The fuel pump and tune isn't all that's required. You still need to adjust the wastegate pressure. As well, if you're running a stock exhaust - you'll want to get the new exhaust pipe as it has a higher flow rate. Upping the boost on the stock exhaust has the potential to increase heat there to levels that could be problematic.
@halfbenjaminmarshall71346 жыл бұрын
Full Throttle Off Road Yes I did leave a few things out,I have done multiple 17 to 18 conversions at my shop for customer's so the 18 fuel pump, Adjust the crack pressure,I also punch out the cat,and Andy at Pwrtune for the reflash, now if someone wants to go beyond 18 power levels then yes a less restrictive exhaust is a must. But as far as Can Am 17 to 18 kit goes,thats a waste of $$$$
