E-tech 600HO

[Summit8]

Anyone else notice this news bit for 09?

Schedule a test ride on new to be e-tech motor sled.

Direct Injection system off Evinrude outboards finally reaches sled motors.

Figured this was where things were headed when BPR bought out OMC.

Was on Doo E-news, pic on web-site I believe.

Rode one already yesterday. Smooth engine running, overall seemed like a nice package.

my buddy works at a doo dealer, and they received to demo direct injected 600's the other day.

BRP is saying:

guarantee 1st pull starts
way better fuel economy
less than one gallon burned per year

he said they sound like a four stroke when they are idling, and a regular two stroke when they are WFO...

should be really cool, hope Poo and AC have something to say to that!

I have been riding one from our shop. Great 600 class sled but has a a bit of a sputter around the 6500-7000 rpm range. Mid range is really good and tops out at 103-105 mph on speedo. In 66 miles it burnt 1/4 inch of oil and still has 2 bars over half a tank.

Here ya go

2009 Skidoo early release 600 E-Tec TNT specs.
To all SkiDoo dealers:

The rumors are true….WE ARE launching an early release model. Ski-Doo has once again set a new standard in the snowmobile industry. Introducing the new 2009 SkiDoo MXZ TNT 600 E-TEC.

Why E-tec?

- Simple System

- Minimal weight increase (415lbs)

- DQR (Durability, Quality, and Reliability)

- Same engine base as carb & SDI

- Battery less

- Same peak power as 600SDI (118hp)

- Technology is owned by BRP Inc.

- The reputation of our E-TEC outboard engines is very strong

Allocations are 1 per dealer.

I will be calling each of you today to confirm if you want one.

Here's some more info on the new model:


Model Name: 2009 MXZ TNT 600 E-tec (non-electric start)

Model #: MJ9A

MSRP: $9549

Ship Date: scheduled to arrive last week of January.


Fuel Economy: At 21 mpg US/25 mpg CDN, the 600 H.O. E-TEC uses 15% less fuel than the company’s current 600 H.O. semi-direct injection (SDI) engine, 78% less fuel than the Polaris‡ 600 CFI and 92% less than the Arctic Cat‡ 600 EFI.*


Oil Economy: Most owners will have to add oil just once per season, due to the added precision of the system’s electronic oil pump and sophisticated computer mapping. The 600 H.O. E-TEC uses half the oil of the SDI and Polaris 600 CFI, and just a third the oil (66% less) of the Arctic Cat 600 EFI. (There will be a new Di oil for this sled – each dealer will be auto-shipped 1 case soon)

Emissions / smoke and smell: The 600 H.O. E-TEC is the cleanest two-stroke snowmobile engine by a wide margin, meaning there’s virtually no smoke or smell.

Lightweight: Because of its two-stroke configuration, the 600 H.O. E-TEC is naturally lightweight, helping to improve handling and reduce rider fatigue. The MX Z TNT with 600 H.O. E-TEC weighs just 415 pounds (188 kg)….still at least 50lbs lighter than the competition!

Hassle-free ownership experience: Engines with E-TEC start on the first pull every time; run with a super smooth idle and instant response; the platinum-tipped spark plugs are warranted for three years; and features an automatic summerization function (automatic cylinder fogging…2min, and its done…all at the click of a button!)

Sled runs great, put another 60 or so miles on it today. The sputtering that was there in the first few miles is now gone and runs smooth all the way from idle to WOT. Very good on fuel and another 1/4 inch out of the oil tank, no smoke at all and it does start in one pull, cold and off the trailer.
