Mercury Racing 450R/500R Performance Upgrade Kit by Kong Performance
The Kong 450R/500R upgrade kit was developed from the ground up with the goals of increased efficiency, durability, and additional power delivered to an already fantastic engine. Each part was carefully thought out and designed to work together to create an absolutely incredible performance package.
BACK TO BACK DYNO TESTING
The Kong 450R/500R kit was tested back to back on an outboard engine Dyno at Race Marine in Australia. Testing was conducted jointly by Race Marine and Motec using Kong Performance's 450R development engine. As seen in the product photos, the stock engine was first baseline tested. Next, the Kong 450R/500R kit was installed and tuned with a Motec ECU. The results were well over 150+ hp gain. These are verified and documented third party back to back dyno tests.
NO TUNING REQUIRED!!!
This package can be used and installed on an engine with zero computer modifications. HP gains will be less without replacing the ECU. The low end and mid range gains are very impressive. Further power is achieved when combined with a Motec ECU for with full tuning capabilities.
100% Money Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the results of the Kong upgrade kit after installation, you can remove it and send back for a full refund. We are confident that you will not want to remove this package after you experience the additional power.
WATER TESTED - PROVEN RESULTS
The first public outing with the Kong 450R kit was at the Lake of the Ozarks 2024. We installed our Kong 450R upgrade kits with Motec ECUs on two Doug Wright Powerboats Cats. Both boats ran 130+mph at the shootout and one setting a new all time outboard shootout record at 136mph.
What to expect? Massive difference in low end, mid range, and top end power. Idle, cruise, and drive just like stock. Perfect upgrade for everything from a single 450 engine all the way up to 4, 5 and 6 engine boats.
