Inside an E-Tec

We have a look at a G2 E-Tec to see what makes these engines so unique

[@carpbuilder]

Great explanation but why the background music as makes it harder to hear ???????????????

[@bahamasking2063]

Good instructions on the engine, but the music was to loud and a distraction.

[@marcoserbe1]

The real reason for not having the exhaust manifold in the center of the G2 engines is not because of length issues (they would have equal length, there). It is so in order for the pistons to lean against the cooler side of the cylinder during the power stroke, away form the exhaust hole side, so the lubrication is better and the oil consumption could be reduced.

Little did they know..5 years later..

[@schalz9209]

I think these motors are lovely

[@angelorusso1549]

the music is louder than you guys talking

[@Artoconnell]

whats with the 70's prawn music?

[@ayhankucukozer1478]

Hello.. The line coming to one injector of the 30 hp etech engine is not working. ecu is solid. There is a problem with the electrical installation. I wonder which cables should I look at? Can you please help? Yanıtla

[@marvinfilek7971]

I have a friend that has 2 etecs. 200 hp One on a key west 23 ft brand new 2020 its been in the shop more than in water. The second one 20118 on a 22 ft hydrosport in Canada . The first one is in Florida.Both have the same problems,rough idle,won’t start,both have had high pressure fuel pumps changed also hydraulic steering and tilt problems. He is not happy with BRP dealers and would not recommend these motor to anyone. So I bought a CC with a 150 Yamaha and have not had one problem.

[@Artoconnell]

LOL. g2 is a high performance machine, it is not for everyone. The g2 in the hands of an experienced and knowledgeable user is exactly what it is, a high performance machine.

[@johnbumpus7138]

My Etecs only require service every 300 hours while your yami has to go to the shop for a more expensive service every 100 hours the Evinrude also has more torque more power and better fuel efficiency as of last weekend I had 1078 trouble free hours on my 2015 225’s but I have nothing against Yamaha for the most part they are reliable aside from corrosion issues if used in salt water

[@timwilliams29]

I RAN ON MY JOHNSON V8 ON MY BASS BOATS IN THE 9Os 2009

[@jerrychase4177]

BRP please sell Evinrude to Polaris and watch this brand take off.

[@tylerberryman24]

Still a very informative video thou

[@dsciarrino3663]

The Best money can buy.

[@Misterwhistle]

The most regrettable purchase I ever made. It has been running great for years but who is going to fix it now that they have discounted making them?

[@lylewilkinson5706]

Bloody music is a pain in the arse

[@timwilliams29]

I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER BRANDS COPIED JOHNNY RUDE IDEAS ALL ALONG OVER THE YEARS

[@joakimback7028]

Video would be a lot better if the two guys understood to be quiet. I of course searched E tec to listen to annoying music.

[@aNuthaRedneck]

Stop the damn music! I'm here to learn something... not to dance...

[@jasony724]

Christ sake I just see a man talking but hear nothing but annoying music 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@kungpho7325]

Throw them in the bin mate!! Rubbish

[@Richardapro2971]

I enjoyed watching this video because I have the same motor. Just wish it was actually serviced instead of being on a walkthrough of all the components of the motor ( which is great ) good video!

[@richt8297]

The side of the motor you’re pointing to talking about the exhaust wouldn’t it be port port. Looks like you’re pointing to the left side of the motor to me.

[@Nick-gv3si]

Why is it starboard starboard of it goes to the port side of the boat?

[@jimmclelland206]

Thanks for explanation of this motor mate. You guys know your stuff.

[@MultiTarheels]

If my brand new 250 G2 lower gear case oil level is below the bottom ring on container, is that an issue? Engine is as level as can be. Can't find how you add to the volume.thanks from NC in USA. ALSO does the engine need to be running to get accurate eng oil qty?

[@Skits_Missions]

john wortham it doesn’t need to be running. You add oil from the gear box, remove the front water pick up cover and there is a plug, remove this and add the oil, it can be hard but not if you have the right tools and pump. Remove the breather sight tube on the res bottle and fill to just below the bottle breather tube.

[@charlie2king]

Do a video on the G2 on the water please

[@itsme-qm4pl]

Howzit?You said something about adjusting the cables for lighter throttle..how is that attained?my throttles are quite stiff.. Thanks

[@Skits_Missions]

Suli Gangat you can change the throttle feel. Not a cable it’s a tension adjustment screw on the control. Look in your control manual.

[@abe2588]

Please take off the background music! It’s hard to understand you guys and it’s super annoying. Thanks

[@brianhornby1330]

It is sexy. I get it just replaced a steering/trim clamp bracket carbon build up is gonna be an issue.. e-tech ... injectors ports plugging off. They dont like to be idled

[@mtv1422]

Hello. How does it lubricate the camshaft if gas(+oil) is injected to the cylinder chamber?

[@muskiemouth4164]

It's a 2 stroke, no camshaft or valves.

[@Skits_Missions]

Mikko V it does not inject gas and oil. It burns pure gas hence the word “direct” injection. It has a oil Lube system that lubricates all engine components before being burnt

[@foxaches615]

Motors and just about anything mix well together, but Not Music!

[@doolittlegeorge]

"wait for the beep"?

[@brianhornby1330]

Real old school motors ie evinrude electric shift with type c gear lube... use it... well brp. Oil is good In everything.. crazy.. F.Magic

[@takayama1638]

Canno' hear ye boys because of music...

[@brianhornby1330]

Looks like a refrigerator

[@100fathead]

lol, expensive junk motors! when i bought the boat (brand new) theyn changed the motor because it had a power steering problem they couldn't resolve, then i took delivery of it and took it out on the water and it had an idle problem between 1600-2200 RPM. loaded it back up and hauled it 2 hours back to be somewhat fixed, back out on the water and it starts over temping, another 2 hour haul back and the whole lower end is replaced (3 1/2 weeks) got it back at the end of the season last year. fire it up this year and no power steering!! 2 hour haul (one way) back to the service center. now they tell me both steering sensors are bad and it takes all day to do the job (after they get them from the manufacturer). guy tells me i only have 9.8 hours on the motor and i need to drive it more! no shit bud, no shit

[@100fathead]

$27,000 300HP G2 E-Tec

[@jamesal0]

Starboard Starboard actually makes the motor wider and heaver with all the extra plumbing.

[@catherineecheverriasauer9431]

When you have no clue about how a 2 stroke works u should keep quiet.

[@jamesal0]

Is the G2 cross flow and loop charged ?

[@catherineecheverriasauer9431]

loop charged, it keeps both bank piston thrust faces away from the exhaust ports and balances the intake charge because both banks see the same crankshaft rotation

[@jamesal0]

The later part of this article describes 2T triples (G2 is 2 x triples) and their exhaust scavenging characteristics really well - amsnow.com/how-to-tech/2007/12/2-stroke-triple-snowmobiles-comeback

[@tommyhaggar6326]

I’d really like to believe your blind love and confidence in e tec Your and all the super good hype have done this Even if it’s all true Even if I’d like to buy etec I think I wouldn’t

we work on e tec g2 they are junk the reed plates go though the engine and omc management know they have a big problem with that motor ;;;don t buy one

It's not new technology.. exclusive to brp. Yamaha has been running hpdi for years 1000 + psi in the fuel rail.. com on ..

[@catherineecheverriasauer9431]

hpdi was antiquated manual fuel injection and a big flop for yamaha... you cant give one of those engines away, electronic direct injection is relatively new and completely controllable with the ecu

looks pretty brp don't make parts for that after its ten years old lets talk about what u gonna do then

[@Skits_Missions]

Lee Williams how so Lee? I have a 12 year old BRP engine and can still get parts, not that it needs any.

[@TheZzzzzzzz]

@@Skits_Missions yea they stock up but when the shelf is empty thats it you have cdi making packs and triggers but i'm haveing constant returns on cdi parts not very good quality the parts girl we have is very good its all she do for twenty years maybe brp think it'll all be electric soon so why bother idk

[@tommyhaggar6326]

Hey kiddo I don’t trust you

[@TitanFallDeath666420]

E-Tec Junk!

[@AB-bg1or]

I can save everyone the trouble of watching this. There are 4 stainless bolts on the back of this motor. Take those out and the motor will come off. Dump it in the ocean to make an artificial reef. Head to the nearest Yamaha dealer and have them mount a nice new 4 stroke on your boat. You are welcome.

[@milkylicker6963]

D B my guess is that you had a bad experience?

[@AB-bg1or]

Yep. The company I work for have 4 225 hp Etecs that we got as a package deal on two different boats. Every single one of them has had catastrophic failures. None made it to 500 hours. Two motors were replaced, one by BRP under warranty, one powerhead replaced and we lost a lower unit on the other. And when I say lost, I mean it it is sitting on the bottom of the river. All of the motors were professionally maintained. Maybe we just are unlucky or maybe it's the fuel, but I have a 2004 Yammie 200hp 2 stroke and she is still going strong. I also had an old Merc (1987 vintage) tower of power that finally failed last year (that's 30 years). I'll pass on the E tecs, but if that's your thing, have at it. I know these things throw a ton of torque out, but it's 2018, and 4 strokes are the future. Just think, people laughed at electric windows in cars in the 60s. Just my opinion of course.

[@Skits_Missions]

D B 4 x failed G2 engines?? Very strange if true. Sorry but I can say the same about Yamaha. I changed from Yamaha to etec 12 years ago. Still have my first 2006 G1 40hp etec going strong and after a 750hr Plus 115HO G1 I now have a G2 225HO with 220hrs. I love them.

[@AB-bg1or]

Dennis Page Maybe the smaller ones are better? I know they have made improvements since our vintage, but that does us no good as we are now stuck with them. Like I said, if it's your thing and have had good luck, have at it. I'll pass.

[@Skits_Missions]

D B I also have had a second hand 115HO with over 700hrs before I sold for a new custom boat with 2014 model 225HO G2 which now has 220hrs to date. I love them. Mate has one of the new 130hp Yamaha 4 strokes and he has had two failed powerheads. Under 50hrs. Can happen to anyone.
