Engine Swaps.

[Vendetta]

Hey,


What's the easiest swap you can do for a blaster?
I hear YZ250's are real common. Only problem I find is that you gotta cut up the Right swing-arm mount to make the engine fit.

I don't want that. Don't ming fabbing up new parts. It's just cutting the chassis I don't like. Is there an engine that can fit under these descriptions?


Mmm. By the way, I got a honda PRELUDE (1989) with a B20A3. It's a Carb. motor. For you honda people, it's the S model.

Is it worth it converting it to an Si? (fuel injected)

well you can do a dt200 swap if you could find one lol..... good luck

What's the DT200? Haven't heard that one before.
Isn't that the liquid cooled/street version of the YFS200 motor?

 

[tjsdaname]

yeah....it never made it to the US

Heh Heh, I like the way you think.
The good thinh about it is that it's a drop in replacement.
No custom mount.
Instant 20+ horsepower. (really)
Only problem is that I need to make a returning fuel line, change entire engine harness.

Where would you find, and buy the DT200? now that sounds wicked...

I've seen a couple in the US, but they are kind of rare. A local guy had one for sale a couple of years ago, and I seen one out of the blue one day sitting in a Krogers parking lot just this past summer, may have been the same one but I'm not sure. They are an older bike from the early 80s or even the late 70s so finding one can be a bit of a problem. A real nice swap would be a DT200R but that one would be next to impossible to find in the us. If I'm not mistaken the R version is rated at 35HP

I think you actually have to cut the swing arm itself not the chassis. I believe the problem is getting the swing arm around the motor portion of the pivot point. but I don't know for sure
