Freestyle Which engine and from who?

[CARBONX2]

I am looking to buy an AM engine for my Carbon Gen2 X-2. It has been shortened, 79" tip to tip, 71" bottom hull, intake increased to 160mm and running a 146mm SB Mag at the moment. RTR weight 305lbs with 8 litres of fuel in it
I recently moved to a city that is at 5000ft asl which causes a 15% power loss(I have increased compression but will not get all the power back). I want to run 95oct(our pumpgas, I think it is equal to US 93oct).
I want a balance between power and longevity, I don't want to be replacing stuff every 50 hrs if possible. I have to travel at least an hour each way to go ride so there must be enough power to backflip and roll easily on flatwater as I will be lucky to ride every second weekend. I am not against fitting Yamaha or Polaris based engines in if it will give more power for the same cc's than a Kawi.
Which is the right engine and from who? EME, Thrust, Xmetal, TC?

Give us a call at 920-889-7125. We can build ya an arm-ripper and yet reliable motor!

So you want something reliable that will FW BF easily... this will get interesting

 

[AtomicPunk]

Powerful can be reliable.

All good options, XScream has engines all over the world.

What's your budget?

I ran our 898 pv motor all year and just tore down and it was pristine. That was with 3-5 rides per week and pisspounding the motor too for testing purposes.

I have a drypipe that I will stick with for now. Want to stay under $10k, naturally the less I pay the better. A 1200 would be nice but not sure on the longevity of those. I would think something with a 78mm stroke would be reliable as that is what the 66E and 66V engines have.

To answer your question. Thrust

Originally a SpeedMagic hull from Japan. I shortened the back and the nose, and enlarged the intake.

Thanks. I thought I remember you saying it started to delamenate so you started hacking at it lol

 

[CARBONX2]

Yes. My work is lasting perfectly, thankfully

I had a Thrust/Dasa 10mm 885cc and i rode 482 gallons on that sucker.

now Im on a Thrust/ Dasa 1200 and also there few guys with Thrust/dasa 1200 with over 180 gallons on it

 

[CARBONX2]

482 gallons will be a couple of years riding for me
