Working on getting a stock P5 line up right now so I can do a direct comparison as I type this! That was a great suggestion!

@@AppalachianMountainRiders does your p500 still have the speed limiter? If not how do u take it off

We have a 2021 pioneer 500 ,Love it !!!

If you can walk or ride up it, it’s a hill. If not…it’s a mountain😂😂😂

If I can work up the nerve that would be a great test for it! Admittedly I’m a little shell shocked from that yet😂😂😂

Can always shoot me an email at appalachianmountainriders@gmail.com

The turbo should fit the 520 as well.

Central Pennsylvania

Ohio’s not far! Sounds like a good trip for next year!

Lots of videos doing that, just not with the turbo...lol. Even in this video during the slow rocky part the camera was leading I was low gear 4wd which the diff is always locked with the Torq locker.

You can get the long travel kit from Joe Kocienski. You’ll have to look him up on Facebook and message him there. I do a lot of riding at Rock Run and usually post when I’ll be there so keep an eye out so we can meet up!

Still waiting on Honda. They were supposed to send me a demo unit to have for a bit but I’m sure will supply being so scarce right now it’s got it held up.

@@AppalachianMountainRiders luv mine ,😆👍

It should since you’re doing away with the stock air intake and exhaust. Those are the only physical differences between the two.

It does fit! We tried it on one of the trips out. It’s tight, less than an inch of clearance on each side, but it fits! I do believe on the video where we ride with the Yamaha testers is where I show going across it. Not sure if I’ll turbo the Rmax. It’s main purpose is as a family hauler and it has plenty of power for that. But...you never know😁

Jak’s motorsports! Hit up Joe Kocienski on Facebook!

Absolutely! Yes it’s a lot of money to throw at a “budget” SxS but these P5’s are tanks and bullet proof so it’s a great platform to build on.

Just go back and watch my previous videos. Again I didn’t turbo for speed but for wheel spinning power to help spin bigger tires and it’s done just that. And to top it of off I did shave a good three seconds off the zero to thirty time which is HUGE! Now yes, most people who bought a P5 isn’t going to feel the need to turbo and I know that but I’m getting a surprising amount of feedback from owners who want to. Pushing the boundaries of what we think is possible or not contemplating on how something can be improved means we would never see any innovation. Would you still be happy driving around a model t Ford everyday or a horse and buggy? Well, if no one ever dared to improve those into today’s modern automobile that’s exactly what we would be doing. I prefer to be someone who dares to take a chance an take something in a bold new direction rather that leave it to become old and stale. Is it just another way to spend money? Isn’t buying a SxS in itself just another way to spend money? That’s the beauty of freedom in that we can choose to spend our hard earned money on what ever we desire. 😁

@@AppalachianMountainRiders If the turbo does this then it should be able to be proven by Mechanical or electrical test that show it increases Horsepower or decreases lag time of engine response and not a O-30 test which can be subjective due to rider error,Not taking the same exact Path as before,change in temp ,pressure ,engine temp ,tire temp etc and any number of other Variables that are not present in a in a more controlled test. I may walk or run faster on any given day and I may have eaten apple oatmeal on one of the days that I did in fact walk or run faster but it would not be rational to attribute that speed to the fact that I ate apple oatmeal on that day. The other factors might be I had more or less sleep that day,my blood pressure was Higher or lower that day etc. Any number of factors could be attributed to the difference in my performance. I do believe I have heard other People say that the turbo does not increase Performance. I understand the concept of Innovation I have driven a Horse and buggy but not a Modelt T. Regardless I PERSONALLY would not buy a Horse and Buggy nor a Model T and try to turn either into a a Maserati. As far as a Bold new Direction I get that but If a Turbo is not used that does not Leave the Pioneer as Being old and stale ,it merely leaves it to doing what it does at the performance and price level that it was designed to do and be. In addition if performance was in fact increased by the use of a Turbo what level or reliability is Lowered . You Mentioned that you had Lowered the level of boosts from 11% to 7 % and that the Head gaskets would probably thank you. Again My PERSONAL take on this is I would Rather Have the Reliability than a small increase of wheel spinning ability. A gear reduction will do the same thing and to a degree lighter tires will do the same thing. A Race car or a Pulling Truck or Tractor May have great Performance but may need to be worked on a constant basis to keep running and I do believe in the Law of Diminishing returns of economics applies to most things in life. Of course buying a SXS it is Just another another way to spend Money And as far as the Beauty of Freedom to spend ones hard earned Money on Whatever we desire that is true. That is why I said at the end of my Post "But Whatever floats someone's Boat is fine with me !! " Which is another way of saying that its your money so spend it like you want to. I do enjoy a lot of your videos and it is nice to see someone who obviously is having fun doing what they do !! I certainly hope you continue with the channel as I have learned how to do things that I would not have know how to do without your explanations.

I would love to get Mighty Mouse on a dyno! That would be awesome to see some actual hard data on the difference with and without a turbo but unfortunately I live too far out in the sticks to have access to one without hours of travel. Maybe one day I’ll get the chance but till then I can only go by the tests I’m able to perform. Regardless it has been a fun project and I’ve learned a lot in the process. We’ll just have to wait and see how the reliability is affected but so far I’ve put a couple hundred miles on total and the P5 shows no sign of ill affects but obviously that’s way to soon to tell. But it is a Honda so I’m hopeful it will still last the long run!😁

I’m pushing near double rear wheel HP from stock right now. Going off the guys in Florida that are working on a supercharger @ 7lbs of boost I should be some where between 30to 35hp at the wheel. Figure stock HP is only 28hp at the crank that’s a great boost in power. The 700 engine would be pretty awesome in the P5 as long as the 3 speed doesn’t come with it. Give me the 700 with the 5 speed the P5 has now and that would be a pretty sick combo in the P5 chassis!

@@AppalachianMountainRiders I see there is room for a base model 500 and a 700 or one with even more power. The stock suspension doesn't have much travel either, as I see you have addressed with upgrading it.

Yeah, stock the P5 only has 5.5” of travel which is half of what all the other 50” machines have. With the long travel I have 12”-14” of travel which is a tremendous difference in ride comfort.

Why?

@@AppalachianMountainRiders you can do a comparison and see which one is better

P500. Has a better power to weight ratio, better transmission, more maneuverable, not as good suspension but some shocks make it much better and with the long travel kit it is better than the 700, not as roomy but that’s subjective...lol. It would be a fun video though to take a 700 and put it up against Mighty Mouse side by side!

@@AppalachianMountainRiders yeah you should do it I have a 700

Are you close to central Pa?
