What engine could i put into a Blaster that would really make it scream? I don't want the frame to get trashed by the motor. I would prefer a 2-stroke.

Why not modify yours? I've seena couple blasters that are nearly as fast as banshee's. Look at getting a 240 kit and all the trimmings.

You obviously have no idea what it cost to swap engines! VERY EXPENSIVE!

There's many hours and many dollars to be spent doing an engine swap. The intial cost of the engine to do the transplant, including all the electrics, carbs, filters, expansion chamber modifications to get it to fit your chassis.....Then the fabrication involved in getting the engine to fit...It's not out of the realm of doing, it's just, Brandon is right, a transplant is most likely to cost far more than simply "building" your current engine up......

I'll think about it. I will have to see what the old wallet can afford.

CT240 Kit.

Everything you need to make you blaster totally scream!

only $879.

but then you get a quad that is moving out and you can't keep it under control. Next thing is Longer axle, shocks, Longer Swingarm, and longer A-Arms. And offset wheels. That would probably have you set.

But it's more trouble than the it's worth to me. Unless you have a bottomless wallet.

You nailed it on the head. I'm 16 and I have to pay for everything myself, I already have a LRD pipe, silencer, and jet kit on it. I just want it to really move without hving to get a new quad.

I definately don't agree with the engine swap idea. Then again, he's right, either way you're looking at a lot of money. It would probably be cheaper to sell your Blaster and buy a Warrior, Banshee, or (gasp) a Honda. I know you said you don't want a different quad but the Blaster frame is a little small for a lot of power. Although I do have to admit I have actually had to compete with a couple of Blasters.
