Has anyone had a 500 kit installed by Four Stroke Tech on their warrior? I was thinking about having Mickey installing it on my 2000 warrior.

 

I hope you haven't been thinking too hard about it...he discontinued it! He said it was due to the cost.

I just took my cylinder in to get bored. I am installing the Alba kit (JE 11:1 piston & .450 lift cam) and the mechanic said that the timing chain is a weak spot. He said to keep a close eye on it when you change cams and pistons. I guess the extra lift of the cam and the greater compression stretch the stock chain. He doesn't know of any aftermarket ones.

I just thought you'd like to know that before going too wild on the motor. I'm doing the cam, piston and porting. I'm hoping to get around 12 to 15 hp...at the least it should be good for 10hp I would hope. Add the 10 to the stock 18 and it should run pretty good, maybe just do something like that and not a stroker motor.

Just to clarify...I'm installing the Alba cam and piston kit only. Not the 400cc kit which is a stroker.

 

I just ordered the 395 kit (cam, springs, piston) for my 93 from him waiting to install, soon. He sells the 435 kit and it seemed like a reasonable price, but I didn't want to remove my crank until it becomes necessary then I will probally try that kit. I did much looking at warrior mods and it seemed like the best bang for the buck.

 

what sucks is it cost so much to build a Warrior compared to buying a new quad but i'm gonna do the Alba kit myself for a little more and with hopes of buying a race rteady quad in the near future![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks to everyone who replied back. Has anyone had any of the kits mentioned above installed on their Warrior? If so where you happy or not with them?

 

I had an Alba 400 kit installed on my Warrior. It cost about $1,300 for the kit itself. I had a shop do all of the work and it was pretty expensive (about $800). They had to take the crank out and ship it to Alba to be rebuilt. I was impressed with the power gain, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. I had hoped the kit would help my Warrior hang with the Banshees, but that was definitely not the case. It had a lot more torque and revved a lot faster than a stock Warrior. If you are planning to hold on to your Warrior and just want a little more power, I think you will be happy with the kit. However, if you are looking to beat Banshees, don't even think about it. You won't come close. I ended up selling my Warrior and buying a Raptor because the power gain from the kit just wasn't what I was looking for. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'd be glad to answer those
