Fuji-Imvac marine engines
Are these engines comparable to zenoah? I have the ability to acquire the new BT-28 marine engine for the expresscraft lightning cat that I plan on building. Since it will be a good deal, I was going to purchase it. Are they good engines?
heres a link to the engine

RE: Fuji-Imvac marine engines
Think you will find there is no such thing as a good deal with the fuji marine motor.
Low power, limited mods, cracking exhaust manifold are typical complaints - I cant say I have seen any praise for them from anyone who has run a zenoah
(Actually - the above comments apply to the Fuji 24 - the Fuji 28 is new to market and I have not heard any feedback. )
They dont have specs up for the 28cc motor but the 24 specs speak for themselves
SPECIFICATIONS
Stock Number: FJIG0124
Displacement: 1.5 cu in (23.9 cc)
RPM range: 3,000-12,000
Output: 3 hp @ 10,000 rpm

RE: Fuji-Imvac marine engines
What if I was to say that I was going to acquire this new engine for free, would it fit height wise in a lightning cat? Basically, If I can get a free new BT28 Im going to take it, atleast Ill have a motor to start with, right? You said limited aftermarket; who makes the limited aftermarket? All I want is a tuned pipe for it.

Zen or die, my STOCK G230 2 port motors run faster then any fuji its ran head to head with...and the 231's are even better, the 260's in raw stock form with a stock can muffler spank them..why bother?

Having no experience with the new 28 I cant say what pipes would and would not fit. I would imagine it would use a zenoah sized manifold and spacing but I would wait till you have it in hand and measure it before ordering a pipe.

I have seen one with a tuned pipe. The makers of the motor said the motor is not designed for any modification beyond that and the ignition isn,t either. but for free I would get it and put a pipe on it.
