IF you have NOT read the tech article on the reason behind the power problems of the Rotax 800 Twin Engine
HERE (clicky) PLEASE, take a little time to read it so that you
can have a better understanding of what is REALLY happening inside this
engine.
OK, Now, that you have a good
understanding of the problems associated with the 800 Series III
engine.... Let's look at a few solutions to what plagues this awesome
power-plant!!
RK Tek has several over-bore options for
this engine. Each over-bore utilizes custom pistons . These pistons are
custom machined by RK Tek to change a few parameters of the piston
geometry that allow for more reliability and power!!
While the over-bore option does add
EXCELLENT power, it is a bit expensive due to the cost of cylinder
boring and re-plating. These big bores are great kits but are a bit
pricey for some.
SOLUTION-->> RK Tek has
developed an 82mm (Stock Bore) CUSTOM piston for the Rotax 800 Engine.
This piston is the same piston used in our big bore kits but it is
machined to drop in the Stock cylinders. We have tailored this piston to
add maximum power and reliability at the stock bore dimension. Because
of the unique geometry of this piston, the engine can achieve power
levels that were "unheard of " before the release of this piston.
These pistons require a custom head
(pump gas-->combustion chamber), MPEM re-curve and base gasket in
order to reach the 160HP(STOCK HO cylinders) mark.
This piston and head kit can be
used with ANY year 800 Twin Series III Engine (2001-2007). If you just "drop-in" this kit with no
cylinder porting... the HO cylinders will produce a bit more power than
the non-HO cylinders but the improvement is SUBSTANTIAL!!
The power-fade and ring flaking problems VANISH!! with this kit.
For those who wish more from their
engine, we offer a solid porting package to accompany this piston kit.
The custom CNC porting will add another 6-9HP to the HO cylinders and
10-13HP to the Non-HO cylinders.
This allows for an EASY, Bolt-On, power package that keeps you legal in most sanctioned events.
For those who do not care about being legal in sanctioned events, we have the Big Bore options.
OK, What is the cost of this kit??
2 Custom RK Tek Designed pistons with rings: |
$370.00 |
1 Custom Torqueline-Series Billet Head with patented dome technology |
$465.00 (Cheater Head $350) |
1 Custom Made Base gasket: |
$25.00 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
------------------------------------------- |
TOTAL: |
$845.00 |
OPTION: MPEM re-curve: $160.00
OPTION: Caged wrist pin bearings: $20/ea (2 required)
This MPEM re-curve
is a custom , 1 of a kind, ignition timing change from 4000 rpm thru
9200 rpm. This curve was developed over time to allow for a substantial
power increase at all
RPM WITHOUT any reliability issues. In fact, this new curve will help
reduce the part throttle (mid-range) "HOT" spot that is present on ALL
800 twins.
This curve is a great addition for ANY 800 twin. Even if you are not
adding a piston kit or a head this ignition change will greatly enhance
your engine's performance
NOT BAD! To FINALLY make your 800 Run right!
PLEASE! Give us a call if you have any questions!!
