    Lightbulb Rotax 800 E-Tec Motor & E-Gearbox HP Maximum

    Does anyone know of a source that identifies the maximum HP and Torque rating for the E-Gearbox?

    I'm looking at using the Rotax 800 E-Tec as a power plant; for many durability reasons. This particular engine is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and low emissions (no smell). The engine produces 150 hp, and has big bore options up to 180 hp; in an 80 pound engine (not including supporting accessories). There are even aftermarket turbochargers for this engine potentially to support high elevation operations.

    I'm contemplating a continuous climb at 135 hp at MTOW; not at all near engine limits.

    The E-drive, from what I see, does not directly fit, but an adapter plate seems very straight forward. A coupling needs consideration. The bell housing bolt pattern seems very friendly for making an engine mount (more consideration still needed).

    My present concern is the maximum HP/Torque rating of the E-drive. So far, I have not found related data.
