Has anyone had any experience with the Scat engine kits? I was looking at the 2332 kit for a thousand bucks. Is it worth building? Right now I have a 1915 and it is just not enough. What size carbs do I need for a 2332? thanks for any info.

RockRockets1 has a hell of a deal on a BUGPACK 2332 in the parts section $1200 just put in your case. May be worth checking out....

Scat is usually good stuff.

The carb size is a matter of preference and driving style. I run 40's on my 2500, as do all the 2500's around D&K. But my son has 44 webers on his 2387. His motor is actually smoother feeling for trail riding, even with the smallest vents we could get to make it responsive. The slighest touch of the throttle makes mine lunge, so when I hit bumps and stuff its kinda gettin burped the whole time. His doesnt do that, but it will come to life almost as quick as mine. We are talking split seconds of difference. Wouldnt even be noticeable unless you was used to both buggies. His whole setup used to be on my buggy, so it aint suspension differences or nothing like that. But I use a light return spring and make sure the throttle cable and all runs really smooth. I've seen 44's run good on 1915's, and 48's on a 2276 that would scream. The smaller carbs seem to be easier for us to tune for quicker throttle response, they will light the motor up as soon as you think about it. I'm sure it may sacrifice some hp at the top of the rpm range, though. But when you see Darrell or Bruce climb, though, its hard to imagine the 40's are costing them any hp at any rpm!
Some folks like to just flat foot it as they climb, and they are done if it doesnt go out the top in one lunge, so bigger carbs may be better for that style of driving. Neither is right or wrong in my opinion.

The engine Kit uasally has some part you won't need and some you will need?

I like to just buy the parts and buil it.

I thank the scat kit has a cast crank in the deal?

There are two different kits one(Volkstroker III - 1600cc-2187cc) has a cast crank but you can upgrade to forged for $140.00 more. and the other(Volksracer Super Street - 2027cc-2332cc) comes with a forged crank. I emailed them directly for the info before because I was curious as well.

My first "big" motor was a scat 2332 kit, and I think it is a great deal! The crank alone is one of the best cranks you can buy. I'm still running that crank in my race motor. hell I've been through blocks, rods, cams, and everything else, but the crank is still untouched!
