Any real world HP numbers for the HO engine?

[snoblind04]

I really haven't seen much on how much HP the new 800 HO engine is making. Any independent dyno numbers?

 

[RMK-King]

160HP from DTR.

160HP from DTR.

i think he said real world

 

[N.A84]

What is real world then? Aftermarket dealers with dyno who just adjust the stock power down and gets a nice puff with their stuff..? It is to many examples of that around.

the Dyno test on the 2015 Axys for the shoot out at Old Forge was 145-146.
this was also done by DTR,

 

[N.A84]

Some rumours says this : 146 hp and 153 hp after ecu break in

 

[RMK-King]

Bikeman dyno results were
159.7 Hp @ 8150 RPM.
104.4 TQ @7800 RPM

 

[mtncat]

2014 Old Forge shoot out done by DTR
Etec 156.4-8000 rpm, trq 104- 7800--103.9--7900
Cat 153.7-8000 RPM. Trq 101.2---7900
Axys 145.3-8100 RPM Trq 98.2---7600

Earlier test on Axys 160.4--8400 Trq 101.6--8100

All of these #s are on the DTR page

Better but still underpowered. Remember HP changes with altitude that's part of the real world. I'm guessing around 120 hp at 8000+ feet. Like most 2 stroke. I would give it a year before snowchecking. Let them work out the bugs first. Can't beat 270hp anywhere you go. Thank you MCX.

270 HP 8400 feet.

 

[icr]

270 HP 8400 feet.

Ya but a yamaha is still over 600lbs RTR at any elevation

coooooooooooooooooooooooooool....

While I respect DTR's numbers, I think they can sometimes be used by the manufactures on prototype builds. The manufactures can change the programing so easy anymore and get good HP numbers that they just won't release to the public.

I think if this new engine can put out 155 - 158 that it would be in the same ballpark with everyone else.

The 160 # was a Ecu loaned to them from Polaris, so is that a real world # only Polaris would know the answer to that. Wouldn't mind trying one if I had a good dealer in the area.

Do the math. 120 hp at 500 lbs or 270hp at 600lbs. No one rides at sea level. At 15lbs of boost its still more reliable. Polaris has fooled people to believe weight is the most important thing and for some people it is the only thing they look at. They have done so well selling this idea to people that people don't care that the most underpowered and weak chassis sled on the market. But what do I know.

Skidoo still makes the best 2 stroke.

 

[tdorval]

Sharp you are comparing a boosted sled to n/a... Seriously? If we get some real snow I invite you to take that mcx where we ride. When your digging out alone remind me that weight doesn't matter....

Suzuki still makes the best 2 stroke.

Fixed it for ya

That being said, I won't buy a cat. I think they are going in the wrong direction. Hoping for more reliability with the poo 800HO.

That sound like fun. I'm always looking for new places to ride. But theyl be in logan, UT the last week of March and the first part of April. How far are you from logan? I would love to come out and ride with you. The snow in washington sucks. I'll be in Seeley Lake, MT Feb 20th thru 25th and priest lake, id the week after. If you can travel to these places your welcome to come. They usually have great snow.

I do compare boosted sled because that's what I ride. I have three pros but will not boost them because of reliability. I let my wife and kids ride the pro because they are easy for them to ride. I boosted my rzr 4 and thats the last time i buy a rzr. I would boost a pro if they were reliable. The belt drive would last one or two ride and the engine could hold 15lbs of boost. The only way I would turbo one is if i was given a sled and turbo kit.
