Has anyone put a 2011+ 800 ETEC in Rev chassis? Curious about fitment issues with the pipe, clutch, etc.

Why would you even want to is my question?
Personally I like the feel of my ho a lot more than any "r" I've ever been on. It obviouslý has a little less power but has a much broader power range. To me the e-tech felt stronger than the r with the power range of my ho. I would love to strap one into my rev. Especially for the option of turboing later. Keep us up to date on how ýou make out with this project. Good luck
agreedWhat is with the hype of the E-tec? I ran a proto last season for 2 weeks and my 2010 800R killed it motorwise.
Then I hear everyone is just INLOVE with their e-tecs and I'm thinking BRP changed something up.
Then I ride em. Bone stock with cans, some with clutchings, but the majority of them stock......I'm not impressed.......I dunno what to say but my 06 hits harder, pulls further, and it screams when you grab a handful.....the e-tecs......not so much.
I know my HO is making over 160hp with the upgrades I have, but I was expecting similar results when lining them up on the hill.....didn't get those results.
You can say its set-up, you can say its preference......but for a stock sled they seem to be rather bland.....definately didn't care for the lackf mid-range hit.
The HO hits harder than the R in the mid because of the Raves.(please nobody comment on how both engines have Like grabbing another gear. The Etec is kinda dissapointing in my eyes. Needs some hop ups and unfortunately thats BIG money if you want any performance from these motors.
Personally, I was hoping for the same kinda performance as my HO with the lighter pull and fuel economy.....what we ended up with isn't enough for me to trade-up.
And to add to that......my forward mounted post REV feels oddly IDENTICAL to the '11 XP.......Don't flame me for this one, I love the XP, chassis of choice for me.....until I remembered what it was like to ride a 440 with a forward post......the next day mine had the same set-up and I wouldn't trade it for an XP. That's how much I like it......weird.

Honestly dude I feel the same way. I am not good with change. When I bought the rev I was used to my old 583 and I hàted the rev. Now that I'm used þo the rev I hate everything else. But I got on the e-tech and it felt oddly comfortable. I was doing stuff on that that I can only do on my own machine. For the record I have my post moved ahead as well. And I had the same thought as you. With the pumpkin being paid for I can drop a few g's to run a big bore and be happier than I would spending 15 on a new machine
hey my etech kicks my 05 rev 860s ***
Hmmm, the 860 wont fit in a 05 .Thats an HO motor
