Freestyle DASA GEN2-1200 vs 1100 vs 1000

[CARBONX2]

Anybody have first-hand experience with DASA engines in terms of power, maintenance and BRAP for your buck?
I am looking at 2nd hand low hour motors of each. I will mainly ride at 5000ft(15% power loss) using 93-oct or 95-oct fuel and a preferably charging system. I want more than enough power to flip and roll

Great thread. I was wondering about the gen 1 and 2 1200 dasa's myself.

Doubt you will find a Gen2 for sale used. Didn't they just came out right before all the lakes started freezing over?

Thinking I should stick with something with history. Winter is coming and I want some level of proficiency so I don't constantly flop in cold water.

yeah that is a good deal. When did the G2's come out? Whats the difference?

They all have more than enough power to flip and roll with ease when setup properly. Bigger is usually better but all will suit your needs. I'd let the deal decide

Bigger is not always better. The dasa 89 bore is better than 94-95 because sleeves are so thin and transfers are squished. The pistons are heavier which is more harsh on crank and 94-95 sleeves wear weird compared to the 89mm sleeves.

I mean yes the 94 may make more power but reliability wise it isn't better.

The altitude and the resultant 15% power loss inclines me to go as big as possible, but I have built small motors that have blown away much bigger ones, I know it is all in how each part works with the next.

I've ridden all of them, and easily flipped all of them, on other people's skis that I wasnt comfortable on. I'm not a great rider either.
The 10 mil 1100 tends to be the most violent.

I went DASA 1200, just waiting on Novi's and Flame to arrive
