BRP keepin the 2 strokes out there

[fastR of puppets]

well BRP just shut down the idea that 2 strokes couldnt pass the 2010 eco nazi laws

i got this off doo talk

"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!)

Now enought with the guessing. lol"









and one other thing, you know what fuel injection means...TURBOS, next year they are supposed to also release a 180hp 1000DI engine

Nice, I want one.

If only they would put a little R&D into two stroke quads...

[fastR of puppets]

give up on it, its not happening, but lol one thing i just noticed, is

92% less than the Arctic Cat‡ 600 EFI. for fuel consumpstion

[FPMXer]

That is a badass looking sled. I wish I still lived in the midwest sometimes.

[joe22883]

makes me want a sled...

[honda86]

good to see that some companys are still developing new 2 strokes...im sure ill get one in a few years

[Paulie B]

It is my prediction that this sled will become wildly popular and sought after. BRP will trickle down the technology to their quads OR the japs will come out with their own design and do that. I bet with porting and pipes the power potential is far greater AND cheaper then the 4 poke. My hats off to them!
BTW what class will it race in?

[Wacko Jacko]

thats awesome
too bad they didnt put some technology into the banshee and keep it around..
i heard george bush rides a 300 ex

[fastR of puppets]

it will race in the 600 class obivously lol but porting wont do shit on these, they come already sick from the factory, but a pipe and can, bore out the throtle bodies, run race gas, and last but not least, turbo, im sure you could get to over 160hp, but the 800DIs and 1000DIs will be where its at, these are also supposed to make more torque than the traditional 2 stroke

[lt250racer]

No Two Stroke Smell.....WHY?
