I have a 2002 200 hpdi on a deep v walleye boat, i want more performance out of it and was told that a hydro tec phase 1 kit would give me an additional 25 hp. has anyone put one of these kits in their hpdi? I was wondering if it gave a considerable improvement in performance and does this kit affect the life span of the motor?
Your best bet is to call HT and take to Jon or Wayne or Mat. A great bunch of guys and honest. Will not try to sell you something just to make a sell.!

I have a ZX225 with the same motor 2.6L 200 HPDI, I had hydro tec replace my heads a couple years ago and talked to them about a phase kit for it. I was told they have never seen the desired results from on that motor. Jon told me I might gain 3mph and if we did some prop modifications maybe gain a couple more mph. I decided it wasn't worth the extra $$$$$ for a couple mph.
That was a couple years ago, maybe they have found what they need to get better results now. Give them a call. I would highly recomend them for any motor work needed.
I did talk to Mat and he said it was the best option for my motor. He assumed maybe 1 to 3 mph increase in top end but would improve over all performance as well. I figured I would have $2k + invested in this if I decide to do it. On the other hand my year pro V is only rated for a 200 and the new ones are rated for 225, if the kit would get me to 225 hp I would be thousands ahead of buying a new rig that has little to no changes made to it compared to my model. So what do you guys think is it worth the money to gain the performance? or should I just be satisfied with running neck and neck with the pack on shot gun starts in our local tournaments.
If it was me I would do it but that is something you have decide for your self.
