Blaster hybrid Engine swap Polls

[240blast]

Alright, i want to set my quad up for mx, i know the suspension im going with, but im interested in swapping the motor, I seen on here about the yz400,yz456,yz250,cr500, ect, i want something that has good aftermarket part offerings, makes Alot of power to whoop up on them shee and 450 owners. I got a mig,tig, plasma cutter so fabing mounts isnt gonna be hard. I just want something reliable makes the power that i want to hit triples and pull on strait aways,and something i can get good parts for. i had a 660r and that was pretty nuts. What year make and model engine? and how easy is it to get a hold of?Let me know the pros and cons of the motors.

do the yz250, endless aftermarket support. and its liquid cooled Newer technology

 

[240blast]

how much is a typical motor and rad?

 

[tjsdaname]

like 1k on ebay.....

you would be better off finding a full bike on CL... then part out the frame

 

[240blast]

any year to look for

 

[tjsdaname]

whatever year is cheaper lol...

 

[240blast]

How is lets say.. an 89 yz 250 Better and has more technoligy than a 98 blaster motor?

 

[blaster biotch]

yz has factory racers and has to keep up with the competion....blaster has been the same since the begining of time...

 

[240blast]

So even like a earlyto mid yz250 stock motor in a blaster will rip harder than a stock blaster motor?

 

[Braapbraap95]

Anything bigger will rip more...

 

[240blast]

ALright so the yz has way more aftermarket out there, and would be almost prefect for mx riding, i mean i only weight bout 150-160. so it should be a trip to ride. Does ANY ONE know how to work the DIAL-A-JET's? i bought my quad with it, if your half throttle then flog it it'll bog out, Can i just eliminate the dial-a-jet?my quad is .40over,powercore2 silencer,and that flap door on the top of the air box and that damn jet.If i eliminate it does that dial-a-crap have jets that came with it or are they my factory jets? and woul di need to go bigger?

 

[specialized7]

I would never use a dial a jet , there was a guy that had one on his zrt 600 and something screwed up and he blew the engine.
im not to sure how you would take it out?
i belive to install you have to drill a hole so you would have to patch that up somehow.

come on man go big, swap in the new polaris 850.B-)

 

[Blasterdude27]

Naaa do a Ninja 600

 

[IHATEU]

chevy small block?

 

[240blast]

I do have a stroked 454 496 for my nova but i wanta catch some air not scrape the rocks with the frame.

 

[IHATEU]

thats perfect just bolt your seat right to the air cleaner, put some wings on it and you'll get some air.

id like to put a cr or kx 500..
im still looking..lol

 

[240blast]

Yea i was thinking that! cr or kx 500. that'd be one bad ass quad as light as they are, just get a longer swinger,longer a-arms and wider axel. it'd be definitly a hellofa ride

If you do a 500 try to find a kx500. I belive they can be counterbalenced. Or a quadzilla motor.
