hey guys, is this a fake or is it true? there had been rumers going around alot of forums in the net that they are making fuel injected 2-stroke engines that out perform the 4-stroke.

just read everything on this page and let me know what yall think.

Why 2-Stroke Direct Injection is a Big Deal

 

As far as 2 strokes outpreforming 4 strokes,.... That's pretty much always been the case, when comparing displacements of the same size. That gap has been narrowing for a long time ( lately very quickly) as 4 strokes are coming along on their power to weight ratios, mostly due to one of many fuel injected designs.

I kinda like the reference in your articel to the Toyota having a 2 stroke design that's a 244 CI, that will put out torque values close to a GM 454 CI engine. That's the way it's always been comparing a 2 to a 4.... The reference doesn't mention, however, if the numbers are related to a 454 with Carb or FI. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,.... right? (whoever gave birth to the article wrote it how they wanted it to be heard)

 

Two words: Rotax E-tec.

 

Sounds Like Buell ****e.... LOL (no offense intended, only having fun with words,... but aren't Buell motors basically a rotax in the Blast cycles?)

 

No idea.... Etec was actually aquired when BRP bought out OMC (Johnson Evinrude), the system was called fitch under OMC...

Buells have 2-strokes?

 

Not 2 strokes,... but yes roatx if I remember correctly..... Don't know if they are 2 or 4 stroke..... Haven't played with them,.... just a litttle read a while back.

 

Rotax is Based in Austria, they make 2 and 4 stroke engines for their parent company's (Bombardier Rectional Products-BRP) snowmobiles (Ski-Doo), watercraft (Sea-Doo), and atvs (Can-Am), they are very big in the ultralight business, Aprilia and BMW motorcycles use rotax engines as well. I've seen them in everything from portable water pumts to go karts as well. When BRP aquired OMC (Johnson/Evinrude outboard) they eventually adapted the Fitch DI system to work on their 2-stroke Ski-Doo engines, marketed under the E-tec name.

 

Sorry guys,... I don't know who builds the Blast engine, but Rotax is said to be building the engine for the Ulysses. My bad on previous post....

 

Two stroke technology has come a long way but I thought the idea of two strokes was also simplicity and if camshafts would be used then some of that simplicity is lost. AKA rotary valve Rotax.

 

Another case of our government run amok. It would appear to me that the EPA runs this country. 2 cycle engines have always been more powerful than 4 stroke engines and if not for the EPA more work would have been done with 2 strokes as has been done with 4 strokes, and the result would have been more power yet. Global warming my a$$. I am all for protecting the environment up to a point. Dumping trash and toxic chemicals is one thing, telling everyone that their car, truck, boat, or whatever the latest complaint the "tree huggers" come up with is another. If environmentalists have their way, we will be relegated to walking the trails.
