just saying it may not be photoshopped. Lynx and Ski-Doo share the same genes.

A 850 maybe. Caught this on Facebook earlier.

850 with 10 more hp =165???

Lol yeah so didn't they claim 163 from the 800, guess it was only 155.

 

[lilduke]

Yeah WTF I thought the 800 etec was 163.9HP

Sounds like a pretty wicked engine though!

 

[oler1234]

cant a person sue for underselling someone a product and false claims...

 

[takethebounce]

BRP never claimed 163 hp. It's been shown dozens of times that claim was from an independent dyno. They even state that. Read the fine print. Dyno tech has run them from 155-158hp several times since that hopped up 2010.5 sled was run.

Doesn't mean they can't make 163+ from the etec they just detune them to give you the 3-4 warranty. A little timing advance on the etec does wonders!

165 is 10hp more. Makes sense.

REMEMBER TRUE HP RATINGS ARE UNIVERSALLY RATED AT SEA LEVEL... HP DROPS WITH ELEVATION, AND HERE'S AN EASY HP LOSS EXPLANATION/FORMULA:

How to Calculate the Horsepower Loss at Altitude for Snowmobiles

Heading higher for your next snowmobiling trip? E3 Spark Plugs tells you how to calculate the horsepower loss at altitude for snowmobiles.

Can I calculate the horsepower loss at altitude for my snowmobile?
Yes you can. If you’re headed to a higher altitude to ride your snowmobile, there are several variables to consider that are directly related to how your sled’s engine will perform in the thinner air. Let’s say you typically ride at 1,000 feet elevation but are headed to 6,000 feet-plus for a snowmobiling trip. Using the formula below, you can make a quick determination as to the approximate loss in horsepower that you will experience at the higher elevation:
HP Loss = (elevation x 0.03 x horsepower @ sea level)/1000
Now, let’s also assume you have a 150-horsepower snowmobile engine in your sled. The Horsepower Loss is going to be equal to 6000 times .03 times 150 divided by 1000 or a loss of 27 horsepower. That’s roughly an 18 % loss of power which is noticeable in both the feel and sound of your snowmobile’s powerplant. So, always take the time to test your sled’s performance before tackling big jumps or slope-side moguls to prevent coming up short.
If you’re headed up the mountain for a competitive snowcross or freestyle-snowmobile event, you will also need to consider the normal atmospheric conditions such as the relative humidity, ambient temperature and barometric pressure changes. Adjustments made to the carburetor or fuel injector can help offset some of the “Horsepower Loss at Altitude”. In addition, a local dealership may have a hot setup for adjusting your snowmobile’s intake and exhaust-port timing as well as a recommendation for the best octane rating for your racing fuel.
Don’t forget. If you’re looking for a hot tip, are Born to Burn. Our snowmobile replacement plugs provide one of the strongest flame fronts of all high performance spark plugs on the market today. Check your local auto parts or discount store; or shop online at an authorized E3 dealer for your Arctic Cat, Polaris, Yamaha or Ski-Doo snowmobile plugs.

I always felt that citing the independent dyno test was more about saying "look how much power it made, they're independent so we aren't inflating the numbers." as opposed to avoiding liability.

That same independent dyno might show 173.9hp on the new motor....lol

Are you selling spark plugs? Lol

What does that have anything to do with BRP using someone's dyno result as marketing?

It's just marketing. Sure yeah look those guys got 163 hp. I didn't see a screen shot of that dyno report though. Must not be true.
