BRP 800 ETEC in jetski

[Project Shark]

Is there anyone who ever put a 800 etec (150 HP) into a jetski?

If not, why?

I'm working on a project and have to choose between the 900 ACE HO or the 800 Etec.

Thank you

I always asked the same question and wondered why it was never done. My 98 GSXL had the 951 rated at 130HP while my 2003 summit X had the 800 Rotax at 160HP. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

I was always told the hull limited the size of the pipes required to get the power and without clutches to harness that power, that the 800 would be a dog in a watercraft.

There is a 900 ace in a Krash Foot Rocket hull out there. http://watercraftjournal.com/kevin-shaw-printing-your-own-money/ . I haven't seen any E-tec 800s though. Seeing as your in Quebec, is this a project for Bombardier?

No it's a university projet.

You can go check our Facebook page to get more info about the project.

The main objective is to develop a stabilisation device that allow the user to stand on the deck when the jetski is stopped. This without effecting the original driving feeling.

Using a 650sx hull??

I always wondered about the E-TEC also, we have 2 800 summits and the 160+ hp would be sweet in a jetski.
I read @tntsuperjet is or was involved with snowmobiles, wonder if Tim has experience with this motor

I bet he is and I also bet he can tell us exactly why it wouldn't work.

It makes alot of power for a 800, I wonder if Tim could sqeeze out even more power with one of his pipes??

I actually think he covered this off in one of his earlier pipe threads.

I dont know anything about sleds, but it seems by first glance to be the best donor, if not some sort of ATV 2 stroke twin.
But maybe the powerband of a sled will not suit the powerband to keep the jet pump efficient ? Ive tried to find som hard data and content about efficiency of smaller jet pumps (jetski size, not later vessel size). But the sweet spot seems to be around 7000- maybe 8000rpm.
There is a Finnish guy who has some sort of Frankenstein engine in his AM hull, either a Sled block or jetski block, but with fuel injection from a sled.

But defiantly a very interesting project!

I can summarize, blah blah blah, pipe size, blah blah, operating temps, blah blah, CVT transmission, blah blah air flow.

He did go in depth about sled pipe design vs Ski Pipe Design............

Do you know where I can find that thread?

The more I think about it, the more I think it was actually something mentioned in a conversation with him at Daytona.

Ducky and I were talking about sled motors when he was walking by, heard us and and joined in. We didn't even know who he was, lol.

Hahaha! We were just casually talking on the first floor balcony, have a drink and talking about motors and all of a sudden some guy comes outside and joins our conversation and we were kind of like "Who TF are you buddy?" and he was like "Hi, Im tim tynan." OCD and I look at each other and were like "Lets keep this tim guy talking and absorb all the knowledge"

If memory serves me correctly, were we not talking about this exact same topic? Putting a sled motor in a jetski?

No idea, I was drinking..a good amount.

You can put the 800 motor in.
I have a 880 cat motor I did in a ski.
But the 800 won't make 160 hp in a watercraft with a wet pipe.
Even a dry pipe that will allow the motor to pull off the bottom as needed for direct drive you gonna drop 10hp.
But the rest of the motor is all good to go.
Port timing isn't to crazy.
But I personally wouldn't use 800 Etec.
You need to find a 800 mod motor from skidoo mxzx.
There 190hp.

See, it's like magic!

Do you mean the earlier 800 triple?
