Yamaha me422 275HP - me422 240 hp

Trying to find information on the difference between the two engine set-ups as it's basically the same engine, is it via an increased/ -supercharged turbo?

I've read the 275 hp is rated for 200 hrs and the 240 for 500hrs, does anyone know if a 275hp rated engine could be reduced to the 240hp and thus run longer and be more economical or is the initial set difference such that it would not be worth while?

Thanks

although the engine block is the same a lot of the aux are different ie intercooler, injector pump, water pump, bigger water system and so on, why don't you get a 240hp straight from the start, i think yamaha still do them
