Friend of mine and I were talking this weekend about building a trail riding motor something to just ride with and thinking about 88 pistons with a 78 crank. Sounds like a good torque motor and having enough HPs to ride and play some. What do you guys think about this for a buggy motor. The Wild Kids |

1897 sounds like a good turbo motor. |

Are you thinking of using the 88mm pistons & cylinders that machine in, or slip in? The slip in 88's have a really thin cylinder wall and, although I haven't personally seen this, I have heard stories of the cylinders warping over time. Reguardless of which 88's you use, I don't think either are available in a "stroker" piston with a different wrist pin height. A 78 stroke crank isn't that much larger than a stock crank, but you may have to clearence the skirts of the pistons to clear the counterweights of the crank. If you want to use slip ins, I would stay with an 87mm cylinder set, and do the clearencing if needed. The 87's are more durable than the 88's even though they are only 1 mm smaller. If you are going to use a machine in cylinder set I would get either the 90's or 94's in the stroker wrist pin height. |

Thanks, it was something that we got to kicking around the idea of it. Thanks for pointing out the piston pin location, that will be a dillema to work out. The Wild Kids |

vwtravis, Why do you say a 1897 would be a good turbo motor? |

Small motor with use of a TE04H turbo from junk yard ($100.00) it would make a low buck motor with good power as long as you limit the boost on the 88s. And everyone has a set of 88s laying around well almost a complete set. |
