Considering a project

What size engines does BRP use in their snowmobiles? Are they still CVT, and do they have a reverse?

Thanks,

From 500 to over 1100cc. Most have reverse.

:agree: Aprilia uses some awesome Rotax engines 150 hp and would bolt right in....:dontknow: and they are street ready....

I'm negotiating for a GS with a lunched engine, I'm wondering if I can go full auto, with maybe a 3 cylinder engine, keep the reverse, play with the gearing, you know, like when I was building interesting stuff.

Ski Doo has a 900, and a 1200 triple... :thumbup:
I'm waiting to see what you cook up! :bbq::bbq::bbq:

Mike, Aprilia used the same engine as the v twin Spyders up until they brought out their own 1000cc v four, the older Tuono and RSV both used the Rotax twin. The engine/trans you're thinking of is in the Mano 850, it's a completely different setup from the essie Spyders.
I'm leaning toward a triple, liquid cooled, CVT with reverse, if I can find one that will fit. And if I can get the chassis to plug it into without breaking what I'll admit is a very skinny bank.

my project is a bit simpler, I think. And surely not as liable to bust the "skinny bank".http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=123063&stc=1

I'd swap the twin for the ski doo 900 triple (in my ST) in a flash ... looking forward to "how to" instructions! Have fun...

It looks like I'll have time to do a bit more research, the GS I was looking at is gone.
So I'll be spending time bothering the sled techs near where I used to live, measurements, and a bunch of other stuff.

Fyi my grandfathers functional build123361 is freaky if you've never shot a blackpowder pistol b4. Cool but freaky

I see the one in the box is a sidelock with percussion cap ignition. i have a .44 caliber percussion revolver which I enjoy a lot. I have a .50 caliber flintlock rifle, so I am familiar with blackpowder shooting. I am really looking forward to shooting the flintlock pistol when I get it finished.

finished the final shaping of the grip to fit my hand, and the forestock to fit the brass furniture the way i like. Next final sanding, tung oill finish, chamfer the barrel end, reblue, assemble, load and fire..............
