About this product
The RPM Powersports Max Power Upgrade Kit takes a 120HP Can-Am Maverick X3 to 220HP with one order: a Whalen Speed WS200 PowerVision tune, RPM big core intercooler with brushless fan, high-pressure fuel pump, silicone charge tubes, BOV, KWI clutch kit and the supporting parts that make the power reliable. It is the most complete can am x3 220hp kit RPM sells, built as a turnkey bolt-on package.
Buying an x3 120hp to 220hp upgrade piece by piece leaves gaps: a tune without fuel, boost without cooling, or power the stock clutch cannot use. This can am x3 power upgrade kit covers each of those. The x3 whalen speed tune raises boost to 17-18 PSI depending on octane, the x3 high pressure fuel pump keeps fueling up with it, and the x3 big core intercooler with brushless fan holds intake air temperatures down, which RPM measured at up to 40°F cooler in desert sand conditions.
On the delivery side, the x3 kwi clutch kit (AO base kit) puts the power to the ground, the x3 silicone charge tubes replace the kinked factory oblong tubes, and the RPM catch can and Big Mouth cat delete pipe finish the system. As an x3 turbo upgrade kit and a full maverick x3 turbo upgrade, it removes the guesswork from building a can am x3 performance kit, and the can am x3 intercooler included is RPM's own big core design.

FAQ
How much power does this kit add to a 120HP X3?
RPM rates the complete kit to take a 120HP Can-Am Maverick X3 to about 220HP with the included Whalen Speed WS200 tune and supporting parts.
What octane does the tune need?
The PowerVision includes 93 and 91 octane pump gas tunes. Boost runs 17-18 PSI depending on the octane you choose.
Which model year option should I choose?
Pick 2017-2019 or 2020-2022 to match your X3. The intercooler differs between those years, and the 2020-2022 kit offers a black intercooler option.
Is the clutch kit included?
Yes. The KWI AO base clutch kit is included so the machine can use the added power.
Do I need anything else to install it?
The kit is a complete bolt-on package with the tune, cooling, fuel, charge tubes, BOV, clutch kit, plugs, catch can and cat delete pipe. Set at least five threads exposed on the factory wastegate rod as RPM's tune notes describe.
Does the intercooler fan run more often?
Yes. The tune lowers intercooler fan activation from about 140°F to 95°F, and the included override switch lets you run the fan on demand.
