RK Tek SKI-DOO 800R Drop In Piston Kit
RK Tek spent a better part of the 2008 Season developing a performance package for the new Rotax 800R Engine.
The new engine was torn completely down and inspected
for deficiencies. It was not much of a surprise to find that Ski Doo
had not addressed many of the problem areas that also plagued the
previous Series III power-plants. Of course we are talking about the
VERY inefficient combustion chamber (head) design and the “prone to heat
soaking and ring failure” piston and ring combination.
While Ski Doo did address the lack of
engine/cylinder/crank-case (not head) cooling with their new engine… the
“CORE” of ANY engine is the piston, rings, and head design and these
components remained virtually unchanged.
Since RK Tek is known for their unique and effective methods for “fixing” Rotax
engine issues, this new engine was surely going to get the “full treatment” and
get a “makeover”. This “makeover” came in the form of a new made Dual Ring
Piston and Head Kit to drop in the new 800R Engine.
This Drop In Piston Kit was designed in the same manner as our Series III Engine
160HP Drop In Piston Kit.
So, now, we have an engine with a MUCH better piston
and ring design. Couple that with a custom combustion chamber designed
specifically for this engine and you have yourself a recipe for a very
SOLID and POWERFUL power-plant that will NOT power-fade (heat soak) on a
long pull. This kit is also MORE reliable than stock. In other words…
It will perform better and last longer than your stock engine set-up!!!
The new 800R Drop In Piston Kit from RK Tek is rated at 12HP
increase on 91 octane fuel
with the stock exhaust system. The torque curve is extremely broad and linear which allows for
VERY easy clutch tuning.
BONUS: The RKT piston with pin is 70 Grams
lighter than the Stock OEM piston with pin. So, not only do you have a much
better dual rings design, you also have a much lighter piston that will allow
for much quicker revving..
OK, What is required and what are the costs for this awesome kit?
RK Tek will send you the kit so you can put it in at your leisure (NO
DOWN-TIME!!)
The cost of the kit is as follows:
Custom Designed 82mm pistons (2) $167.50/each
RK Tek Torqueline Series Billet Head with
Patented Combustion Chamber Design $435.00

Optional: RK Tek Custom ECM Re-program $140.00
