the owner of ctracing.com told me in a few weeks they're releasing a blaster cylinder that uses a honda reed cage and makes over 40HP when used with a 38mm carb. man this thing is giong to be awsome

 

40 is ALOT for a blaster, what exactly is this cylinder? Need more info!

 

And their probly going to charge like $2000+ for the whole setup. It is going to be pretty cool, though. Kinda ruins my project. Brokemy knows what I'm talking about.

I have some pics of my parts up on my site under the "parts" page. It might take a while to load the viewer, but it is good enough. More pics later today.

 

Another thing... If it is a big-bore I have no interest in it. Sure, the big-bore sounds good, but it revs slower and doesn't last as long between rebuilds. I will be making close to 40hp(probly 35-38hp) while using standard bore sizes. It's on it's second bore(.020 over) right now, but it needs bored to about .030 over. Mine is going to rev quicker, last longer, and have a huge powerband(thank you very much YPVS). The only real problem to mine or CT's setup is a place to mount the radiator. I'm still working on that one!

 

That assuming that the ct set-up is liquid cooled!

 

It is. I have heard of this before. Besides, all the pro-x cylinders are big-bore liquid-cooled. It supposed to be like a 240-265cc.

 

the cylinder costs 800 with a 250r reed cage(much better then yamaha)i still dont know how many cc's and if its LC

 

A Blaster with 40hp...with that chassis...now that's scary! At what point do you call it cost prohibitive??? For cryin' out loud, just take the same amount of money and upgrade to a Banshee!!

whilst i'm sure the Pro-x will be a quality piece what are they doing about the water pump etc?? and does it have a powervalve.........

Have a look at the DT200 microfiche on my site for how Yamaha set up the watercooled powervalved engine in 85, this engine was the basis from which the blaster was derived......... minus all the good bits.........

I think it is great that some of you are taking the time and effort to try to make a liquid cooled blaster. Or at least one with more power.
What do you guys plan on doing for a frame? And other components? I would think that a blaster with 40 or more horses would cause a bit of damage to stock components.
With my main concern being the frame and swing. I could be wrong...I'm not sure how much a blaster will handle. But 40hp is a far cry from stock.
