I have a '98 Blaster that is in good shape but with one BIG problem: the motor was recently smoked while out playing in the snow! I tore into the motor and found that the jug was in pretty bad shape. I am just wondering if it would be better to just bore the existing jug .020-.040 over or go all the way and get a 240 big bore kit for it? There are so many different kits to buy on the market, I'm not sure which one I should be looking into. Any information and advise is welcomed.

 

I would just bore it the next size over. Vito's is a good brand for Blaster kits.

 

I recently sold my 240 motor for my blaster.It was a ct racing sonic kit.Came with new Jug,ported head,reed cage,pipe+silencer,carb and piston kit.It is real pricey but well worth the money if you can afford it.I would recomend rebuilding the bottom end if you go with a 240 kit.The ct kit will put you in the upper 30's in HP.I am wanting to say a stock blaster motor is 16 to 18HP?

 

We raced against a kid that had a CT built motor in the Blaster and that thing was fast but you are right it is spendy, I want to say they dropped nearly a couple thousand in the motor.

I am wanting to say the kit itself was somewhere around 1200 bucks at the time I bought it.They are running just shy of 1600 now.The reason I went with it was everything was there from the silencer forward.You have to have the cylinder sleeved if you go with Vito's kit....And I am not a big fan of sleeving Blaster cylinders.
