F12X
At the forefront of the personal watercraft market, the AquaTrax F-12X represent the cutting edge of four-stroke performance.
Class-leading performance is provided by a water-cooled IHI turbocharger with water-cooled intercooler. The AquaTrax® F-12X turbocharger produces a maximum boost of 13 psi to generate 32 percent more power than a normally aspirated engine.
The turbine bearing is an enclosed, ceramic-ball design that withstands sustained high-rpm compressor operation while providing nearly vibration- and friction-free performance. Water-cooling of the turbocharger housing maintains optimum turbine operating efficiency, while the water-cooled intercooler assures a denser intake charge to provide maximum power and combustion efficiency.
An electronic control unit (ECU) monitors, boost pressure, engine speed, cylinder head temperature and an engine knock sensor to manage an electronic waste gate valve that controls turbocharger boost, protecting vital engine components and maintaining long engine life.
Features
- Forged pistons and connecting rods are designed to withstand the rigors of turbocharging. The top piston ring land is anodized, and a chrome-plated top ring further enhances durability.
- Unique gear-driven dual engine-balancer system virtually eliminates high-frequency engine vibration.
- Engine-cooling water circulates through the turbocharger housing to enhance compressor life.
- Chrome 3-D turbo emblem.
- Black Hull distinguishes Turbo model.
