AmSnow Exclusive: 2017 Yamaha Genesis 998 Turbo Dyno Test

Pre-production Sidewinder makes 204.1 HP!
By AmSnow staff | March 10, 2016

2017 Yamaha Sidewinder B-TX

A friendly wager
AmSnow Editor Mark Boncher and Yamaha’s Snowmobile Product Manager Rob Powers made a friendly bet on what our independent dyno testing facility (DynoTech Research out of Batavia, N.Y.) would find once we finally had a chance to test one of these machines. Boncher guessed 192hp and Powers guessed 193.

The verdict? Both were off by double digits! The top number was 204.1hp at 8850 rpm!

Nice job Yami!

204hp, Wow!
Out of the box, that's impressive!
Honestly I was disappointed with the first numbers suggesting 180.
I was figuring if Yamaha opened the "drawing board" and 180 was all they came up with, kinda disappointing.
But 204! Yea, that's more like it!

I will be in the market for a used one in about 12 months so you guys take care of my machine while you ride it the first season.

Christoper let me take a ride on an MPI turbo Viper last year and I really enjoyed the power but didn't get a chance to ride in any thing other than wide open spaces.

I look forward to getting a Sidewinder demo next year and check out the handling.

That's a impressive stock power for sure.. Right on

christopher · Mar 10, 2016

With 204HP STOCK, just IMAGINE what the aftermarket turbo boys are going to do with this new engine.

HOLY COW.

The Future is BRIGHT!

you can make the pig turn with the 16 front end options. but now can you make the pig hide the fact it is a PIG? you can put a turbo on an anvil with handlebars but ...well let say you can spray perfume on a turd. if yammie puts a 2st out well then game over. just my .02c

And it's altitude compensating so the boost is only relevant if you know the elevation. I have yet to see sea level boost numbers. I know that turbo on the 1100 was 7 lbs at sea level to be 177.

Shouldn't be too long before we can get all the numbers from DynoTech

The observed boost numbers on this dyno run were between 8.1 and 10.25 lbs of boost depending on the rpm. This was at Dynotech's elevation with 70 degree air temps (that's a hot day to be riding a sled).

Any idea what that elevation was?

RACINSTATION · Mar 11, 2016

I am going to say 877 feet above sea level. 873 for Batavia, New York and 4 feet for the stand they use.

Don`t get exited, this trick has been around for many years. Boosted test sleds are often at a higher hp numbers than the production models.
