[RobbieMWD]

Has anyone had any experience with this? It sounds like a pretty good deal?

Dammit. I wondered when somebody was gonna do something like this.. Wonder if that $975 includes the 08 spec shaft/clutch setup....

Will need to see some real world boost numbers. Also will need some back to back testing against an X charger to see if it flows as much air as the X.

what is the claimed boost with this charger and the rotax wheel?

hmmmmm i might put the s3 wheel on ebay and send mine off for this

[bruinsrme]

stock X model boost pressures 9.8 psi @8100
11.2 psi @8500
11.6 psi @8700

Rotax Racing impeller and spacer for X models
11.2 psi @8100
12.3 psi @8500
13.0 psi @8700

Interesting, so is this a 215 charger->x charger-> x w/ Rotax spacer and wheel??? Or is it the equilalent of the 215+ new Rotax wheel with spacer?

Those numbers are for a X charger with upgaded wheel. I'm thinking a 215 conversion might be slightly less. If not people will be looking to by peoples oem X wheel and the buy the front cover and have the back cover machined.

They are upgrading a 215 charger to accept their X charger high boost wheel.

Looks like they just fit the RR wheel/spacer to your charger and machine your front housing. Doesnt look like they change shafts, washers or springs.

what is your thinking on why it would be less. i am pessimistic about it too but i cant come up with anything in my head that would make me think it would make less if it has the same wheel and the front cover off of the x charger.

the other thing i am thinking about is when will Riva make a wheel that outdoes the rotax one and should i wait and get it??????????????
