Anyone put an 800 2 stroke in sxs

[deaner]

Seen a few apex rzr conversions. Just curious if anyone has heard of an 800 transplant. If I had the mechanical skills Id sure be interested to try it.

Someone did it to a wildcat. Went pretty good. Maybe it was speed works?

 

[Bnorth]

No, but now I want to so thanks for that.

 

[moyiesledhead]

No, but now you've got me thinking. My son has a Nytro engine kicking around somewhere that would probably wake up my RZR quite nicely.

This guy did it to a RZR 1000: https://www.snowandmud.com/the-mud-...engine-project.html?highlight=captjacksparrow

Holy cow does that thing look rank! Im surprised manufacturers wouldnt offer this option. Or are emission requirements tougher for atvs?

I would definitely be putting a quieter muffler on that thing though. That noise would get old in a hurry.

Lol. Why would you want it as an option? Machines are making the power now from factory and I can start my machine from the driver seat

Lighter, simpler, cheaper, easy hp with no turbo.......and I think you can get electric start on 2 strokes

 

[the_real_wild1]

Won’t be any lighter. I doubt it would be cheaper. Don’t need to mess with oil. No smoke.

Might be a really dumb question.......but would you need a transmission in one of these if you installed an engine with RER? You would lose 4x4 obviously, but would a chaincase type of set up handle the load of the rear tires, or would it not be any worse than the load from a big track?

I like the idea of the 2 stroke.
Polaris quads used to have 2stroke 4x4 quads, so...... thinking along their principles... You would need/want a transmission, to have 4x4 and reverse. Also using a newer sled engine with E start and oil injected.

And the old 400 explorer's and scramys went good for what they were back in the day

Captain Jack (referenced above) also put a 670 twin into a Scrambler years ago....if anyone has the skillset to do a weird motor swap, it’s him.

Also you would also want a engine break for when your brakes fail on a nasty hill.
