budget freestyle engine

[norcal ex]

i am thinking about starting to build a fresh motor to throw in next winter. what would you guys suggest. i want to buy all the parts seperatly. what would be one of the best setups for around 1-1.5k not including ignition?

 

[runaway]

I would say something 760, or even a big bore cylinder used. 62t/61x cyl with stock dual 44's. Stock ignition IMO is best. Definately in your price range.

Do a search buddy,

cleaned stock 701 cylinder,
62T cases
lightened flywheel
carbontech reeds
180psi comp
b pipe
twin 38s

impros 13/16 cutback prop
bored nozzle
stubby pump cone

excellent budget, bulletproof freestyle build :biggrin:

i already have some of this stuff :

[X] cleaned stock 701 cylinder (wet jet 701 with a fresh rebuild)
[ ] 62T cases
[ ]lightened flywheel (im getting an advent so i need stock flywheel)
[ ]carbontech reeds (these dont help with performance do they? they just make it so if they break they wont destroy the engine like the stock ones will..correct?)
[X]180psi comp
[X}b pipe
[ ]twin 38s

[X]impros 13/16 cutback prop
[ ]bored nozzle
[X]stubby pump cone

will 62T cases, twin 38's and a bored nozzle really be what i want. i can tell my skill is being restricted by the engine. will they unleash the beast? i wanted to build another engine so i will have a spare to work with for a future project or if it explodes... hmmm

That setup i posted mate will be plenty,

reliable power thats really clean and snappy

The carbontechs will help with throttle response too

 

[norcal ex]

theres no such thing as plenty:headbang: haha thanks

 

[orange flattop freestyler]

sorry i meant plenty for your budget, :biggrin:

 

[norcal ex]

so you think building a 760 is out of the question for 1.5k?

 

[waxhead]

the rad flywheel is awesome for your throttle response

i would go for twin 44s
b-pipe
and a port job

 

[norcal ex]

i wont be able to run a rad with my advent ignition....

 

[waxhead]

bummer

760 cylinders are cheap. Twin 44's rock. I have seen really good running 760's with no or mild porting on dual 44's. You can always punch out some 701 cylinders all the way and get there too. machining and new pistons will probably cost more though...

Thanks Matt, but he won't have to call, I'm watching................

good stuff ! I'll comment when the time is right. until then, please continue making suggestions.................
This is helping me see what better ways to help you riders.
the magic part of this is to do it under $1500 & only having limited parts.
it's a very realistic challange

ski ya, Paul

it's a very realistic challange

ski ya, Paul

realistic to build a 760 or to moddify my 701?

 

[orange flattop freestyler]

Sorry i suppose its hard for me to say then,

You said do i think its out of the question to build a ported 760 for 1.5K, Remember im in the UK and no i dont think you could do that over here.

You have the advantage of already having many parts so that kind of throws the buget out a little, because if you had to buy everythin then no you couldnt do it, well definitely not in the UK for that price.

This is a great thread :biggrin:

So many responses, and nobody's mentioned a sport port yet.
Port your own cylinder! Great experience, great bang for you buck.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

and instead of an expensive big bore, what has to be done to a 760 cylinder to lower the exhuast ports? cant they be decked or something?

whats the cheapest way to end up with a 760 cylinder with 61x port timing?

this is my goal... well, that and 62t cases for under $100!

[Matt_E]

Hey, I had 62T cases for 100 for sale a while back.
(Even used YOUR bottom half:biggrin: )

 

[WaveDemon]

Do you have a crank? are you willing to go used on a crank? that will make a big difference on the budget build. What other parts do you have if any? cylinder, cases....
