New engine

[dirtbikerdude]

I know everybody is going to hate me for this but i want to start riding trails so i was wondering if anybody has seen any engine swaps in blasters for like a 400 or 450 four stroke?

thanks

P.S dont bash on me too much

lame, get a new bike if u want that, dont bother yourself with the swap

good luck, those engines are pretty big.
someone did a 250F into a blasty frame. it looks nice too.

yea i know but i love the feel of the blasters and how light they are but i just want more power

who did the swap

thats pretty sweet but if im going to go to all the trouble i want atleast a 400

 

[brandoz28]

that 250 will put out more than your normal 400ex etc.....

 

[sheeblast]

that 250 will put more usable power than any 400cc quad engine.
my buddy hasa 250 with some work but non ported (cammed, exhaust, carb) it has great all around power and is easily making way more power than a sh*tty 400ex z400 or any other 400cc quad motor. maybe even the old 400cc dirt bike motor.

 

[Whitty21]

fyi, 400ex arn't faster than a mildly modded blaster

why not a 250 2 stroke motor swap if any kind of a swap

 

[dirtbikerdude]

thanks for the tips
i just wanted to say though that im not looking for speed im looking for low end power

 

[dirtbikerdude]

and like i said before im looking to ride woods

 

[sheeblast]

ya that 250F engine i am talking about was power everywhere. you could lug a gear and give it gas and it would be taking off.

 

[dirtbikerdude]

how much modding would i have to do to put 250f engine in

 

[brandoz28]

the same amount as any other 4 poker....


engine mounts, probably modding the tank, mods to the swinger, fabbing up an exhaust, wiring, etc, etc, etc

 

[dirtbikerdude]

for all that i might as well save more money and just buy a whole quad

 

[brandoz28]

what have you done to the blaster to make it ride better on the trails so far?

 

[myusername]

if your looking for a quad to be better suited for what you want, there is a quad out there for it. so go buy it. if you want a quad that is different, then do a swap. i have not done a swap, but the amount of money spent i'm sure will put you farther behind than selling the blaster and buying something new

By the time you get everything and do the work of a conversion, it will cost more than building the blaster motor and will more than likely increase weight and vibration.
