How would this stack up to a 240 big bore blaster? I saw somewhere that there rated in the low 40hp stock.
yz 250

I'm wondering how they would compare in the blaster frame ....assuming same basic mods, aftermarket exhaust, ported... etc
what does the frame have to do with it??
you want to put to motors in a blaster frame?
a yz 250 motor is geared diffrently and if put in a blaster would be really fun..

Somebody else did the swap with a stock yz250 and they said its mentalll! they said they had to gear it wayywayywayyy down and it still pulls wheelies.
ive heard of people doing that, but youll have to reinforce the frame..the yz250 motor will vibrate and tweak it right apart if ay dont...
The reason im asking....is i have a buddy that wants a 240 big bore blaster motor....and he doesnt believe me that the yz250 motor would be more powerfull. I know it takes more to swap the motor in..
The vibration thats created with the noncounter balanced bike motor wouldn't make a very good trail bike. It would just be better to build up the blaster motor, imo.
We can handle some vibration.... He wants to build a killer motor for it.....he was thinking a yz465.....But im thinking the late 90's early 2000 2 stroke yz250 would be just as bad....
i agree with gscx...number one, yz250 engines are high dollar. i just had to buy a lower end for one of my yz's and the cheapest one i found (tranny, crank and case assembled) cost me 300 dollars. If you have a late 90's to early 2000's engine i wouldnt be wasting all that fabrication time it would take to install into a blaster frame..spend a few hundred bucks and get an older yz frame..if ya wanna know where to get one send me a PM...I have a few leads on a couple rolling frames for cheap. a bike frame is where that engine belongs. a yz engine is a f*cking POWER HOUSE , especialy in a light bike frame....
thats just my personal opinion, im an owner of both so im just speaking from personal experiance .
also dont forget that that yz engine is liqued cooled..so somewhere youll need room to mount a cooling system...that may be difficult. i bet my yz motor is atleast 4 inches taller then my blaster motor. from base to top of head...it has the coolent hose that also has to go into the head and that takes up room as well. that would be hard to push in a blaster frame.

If you go with the yz 250 motor itll be bad ass trust me, I had a rm250 motor in a blaster frame and it was crazy fast. It can be done but like daneil3877 said you do have to get a cooling system in and mounted which was a lil difficult for me but not the hardest. Youll be impressed with the final product if you do it.
Why would you do that?? Why waste your time fitting a 250r motor in a blaster frame? Buy a 250r frame if ne thing, way better suspension than a blaster. ecspecially if you got the 250 motor your already half way to having a badass quad.
