Re: Polaris 800 EFI engine in a Yamaha G16
Yes, I know this thread is seven years old. A series of life events put this project on hold and it ALMOST never saw completion. But I’m happy to say I’ve worked on it over the summer and it’s done (well except for front seats which I’m having custom made)! Everything works great! I have had it up to 53mph so far. It had plenty left in it but I got a little nervous and backed off. But it is surprisingly easy to drive. It feels very similar to a RZR 800. Light throttle it just puts around. But when you get on it and the engine revs up to 6k RPM things get moving quick. I had a handful of minor issues (no start due to crank position sensor, overheating due to a worn out radiator cap) but nothing too difficult to figure out. I retained a lot of the stock RZR components which made everything so much easier. I even still have the RZR gauge. Speedo doesn’t work but everything else does (tach, fuel, coolant temp, engine codes). I’m so happy I was able to see this project through to the end.

I do actually, but can’t figure out how to post them. It says invalid format. I’ll keep trying.
