Aerocharger Harley-Davidson Turbo on the Dyno by aerochargerjerry

Got our Aerocharged 2012 Street Glide turbo Harley-Davidson on the dyno at Rawhide Harley in Olathe KS this week. We had already dyno’d the same bike stock, so we have those numbers to compare against.

8 psi boost, 91 octane pump gas, a basic tune, and absolutely no mods besides the Aerocharger system got us this at the wheel:

STOCK: 69 hp 86 ft-lbf torque
AEROCHARGED: 125 hp 137 ft-lbf torque

Mike and Tyler Crockett got their Aerocharged Pro-RMKs on the snow just this past week, and Finlay Films was there to catch the action.  Awesome sled footage – huge thanks to Kyle Finlay for making this happen.



NEW! Install Video Guide – RZR XP 900 Jagged X by aerochargerjerry

Follow along with Calvin Felker as he installs an Aerocharger Turbo System on a 2013 RZR XP!

This video is a comprehensive installation guide for RZR XP 900 turbo systems. The model featured here is a 2013 Jagged X edition, which is based on a 4 seater platform – the system and installation process will essentially be the same for all 2013 XP 900 models. 

The goal of these videos is to streamline your install and get your newly Aerocharged RZR out to the backcountry faster. As we show, this system was designed to be installed and configured by someone with average mechanical experience and typical garage tools. If you need help with your install or have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact Aerocharger or your dealer.

CAN-AM MAVERICK TURBO SYSTEM IN DEVELOPMENT BY AEROCHARGER by aerochargerjerry

Aerocharger has announced that a new system for the Can-Am Maverick platform is currently in development.

In this video, Brad, Calvin and Andrew demo a Can-Am Maverick with a prototype Aerocharger Turbo System, and discuss the features and development status.

Aerocharger is a leading maker of aftermarket turbo systems for snowmobiles and side-by-sides, and is responsible for one of the most popular turbo upgrade packages available for Polaris RZR and RZR XPs.

“We’re excited that Can-Am Maverick owners will soon have the opportunity to boost their vehicles with Aerocharger’s ultra-efficient turbocharger technology,” said Andrew Dey, Aerocharger development engineer. “This system will provide a major increase in performance over stock, while offering the same reliability and low-impact installation that Aerocharger Turbo Systems are recognized for in the powersports industry.”

This prototype system is developed around the Aerocharger 66 Series, Aerocharger’s larger-bodied turbo which is optimized for use with the Maverick’s 1000CC Rotax engine. The Aerocharger features an internal oil supply for simplified fitment and reduced operating complications, and the self-optimizing vane formation makes it the ideal turbocharger for use on off-road terrain and technical riding.

A release date of late summer is anticipated for the Aerocharger Can-Am Maverick Turbo System, and pricing and detailed technical specifications will be made available at that time.

Aerocharger 2008 RZR 800 Rebuild by aerochargerjerry

This 2008 Polaris RZR 800 Turbo was Aerocharger’s original R&D vehicle from which we developed the hugely successful first gen Aerocharger RZR system.  Aerocharger RZR systems have changed a lot through the model years, and we’ve had a number of newer RZRs in our fleet to keep our technology up to date.  But everyone loved our black ’08 so we just kind of hung on to it, used it as a prototype frankenstein, and drove it hard. We thought it would be fun to get this heavily used and abused vehicle built back up and see how competitive it still is, so this spring it’ll be running at the Iowa Hare Scrambles. Here’s Andrew tearing it down and talking about our plans for it.
