Shawn's 175cc Build thread with pics

[myvt365]

ok guys long awaited here is my thread with pics. First off my name is Shawn I am a service estimator for Detroit Diesel prior tech. I went to school for mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering. So about a year ago I picked up a spider box with no idea what it was. This unit was not running owner said that it sprung a fuel leak so I said ill give her 250$ for the unit she owed me money. The unit was bought brand new in 2004 and sat in a garage until 2016 when I got it. First thing I did was get the unit running and got rid of the lights that were in the front and mounted them to the top rack with a switch.

Next after I got it running me and my son really enjoyed it so I began modding it. Base line it did not have the power that I wanted. So I had the idea lets turbo this unit and see if I have enough oil pressure to supply the turbo. I tapped into the oil system after much research. This was working see in attached pics oil supply was good coming up my drive the original engines exhaust rotted out and the fiber glass clogged the exhaust and overheated the engine.

Next is where the fun began!!! got my 175 from BD this seemed like the best option at the time for my build and I was extremely excited to build this machine. I ordered the whole BD front end and lift!!

Next well im an accessory nut so I decided well it time to step my game up! I ordered the reverse kit and light bar as well as the BD ATV front end conversion.

Next with all this work to the front end I decided I am going to do a full build. I decided to add 13 inch shocks in the rear swing arm as well as added a 39 tooth sprocket. I had to fab this all up I dropped the axle and replaced all bearings while was there I replaced the rear rotor and pads. I moved the shock mounts back about an inch.

Carb Carb Carb issues I ordered carb after carb from amazon much to my cheaping out they all failed. Well on top of this I had a truck come into my shop with under glow lighting that owner wanted removed so I said why the hell not so I added them to my build.

After this I added a mikuni VM26-606 best move ive ever made and with now 2 lights I tried my first attempt at a dash board set up.

At this point I set the buggy next to my full size Polaris and thought hmm I can go bigger!! I had the old tire I took off my atv and was like the yerf is going on 25s I just need rims so I found some rims on craigslist.

[myvt365]

next I still wanted more lights so I said screw it and added a mini light bar and reverse lights! I had an issue with my voltage dropping out so I went ahead and ordered the 11 pole stator from BD!

I still wasn't happy with the one thing I left alone stock exhaust! so I looked online and found a damaged Yoshi pipe and thought hmm if I cut it down I can make a custom Yoshi exhaust for my buggy so a day of fabrication and shes on!
