Should i upgrade or buy a new engine???

[silas92]

Hey guys i have a bladez moby 43cc, I want more power and better acceleration. should i upgrade engines? if so recomend a cheap,good engine that will fit. Or shall i upgrade my current engine???

[aznboi64]

There are several ways to go about this. You could always buy a head kit and that will definitely give you more power all around. Or you could upgrade to a bigger CC engine. Your next bet would be the tanaka 47cc or Blue bird 52cc or 57cc if you can find them. Or the notorious Active 50cc engine. These engines will definitely give you a big kick in the pants. But with your 43cc engine you can always do the standard HP carb, intake, exhaust.

[silas92]

Kool thanks, I have another question: if I got some chrome spray paint and painted my engine, will it resemble real chrome??? (oh yeh and i decided to stay with my 43 as i only wa 76lb so it should be plenty of power)

If u can plz reccomend me parts that will giv me a boost of acceleration as that is what the bladez lacks, thanks.

[aznboi64]

I'm not too sure how chrome paint comes out but its worth a try. I would get the standard exhaust, intake and carb to give you better acceleration and top end.

[silas92]

Would this work on my bladez (mine is a 43cc but this is for a 35cc?):

[GSR-RACER]

HEY DUDE YEA IF U STILL WANA GET A MOTOR GET THE 55CC ACTIVE MOTOR!

WWW.BLADEZSCOOTERS.COM



MANNY :D :D :D :D :D

[silas92]

Hey thanx for the link, yeh they do have loads of stuff for bladez. What carb should i buy for my 43? the 40cc or 35cc? oh yeh and what air intake, velocity stack and choke shall i buy that fits that carb?

[aznboi64]

Most intake kits fit all carbs. Is your engine from tanaka? I haven't heard of a 43cc tanaka motor. Any pics?

[silas92]

Yeh ill get u pick tomorow. But i think its a chinese motor???

[GSR-RACER]

yea ur welcome dude

yea and get a bigger carb! the bigger the better gas u have shooting in to ur motor=more power!!!!!!!!!!!


if u have A 43 GET THE BIGGEST CARB THEY HAVE!

[silas92]

Will the 40cc carb giv me more power, oh yeh and do u know were i can get chrome parts for my engine. I cant find them anywear?

[silas92]

Ere u go i got u the pics!!! (bit dirty)

[Tbuck]

If you're looking for a new engine I've got what you need for an affordable price. I have a like new Tanaka 40cc motor that I will let go for $60 plus actual shipping. No funny business here. The motor is just sitting around and for the price of what you will put into that engine to make it better you could have two motors. Not only that, but the Tanaka motors are well known for their reliability and performance. Parts are readily available also. We've talked about a billet deck also. If interested call Todd at 502 449-2254. Thanks.

Heres a picture of the motor when it was last on my scooter. (motor would be sold in stock form, I'll throw in the billet gas cap)

[silas92]

Does the engine come with any performance parts on it? cus i dont think its worth downgrading from 43cc to 40cc???

[Tbuck]

I realize your new to scooters, but honestly 3cc don't make a noticable difference. Honestly you would be foolish to put money into that motor. I've been into scooters for a few years. Whether you buy this motor or not, if you are going to put money into the motor start with a good foundation (ie. Active, Tanaka, Zenoah, etc.). I can tell you I paid $100 for this motor and more than got my moneys worth out of it. I welcome you to look around for a new motor (stock) or even the price of upgrading that one and I guarantee you'll spend more than $60. As stated before, this motor will be sold stock at the bargain price. All the upgrades you see on that motor are currently in use on my Evo and are close to $200 worth. By the way, that doesn't include the price of the pipe, so make that about $300 in upgrades. But, in the end it's your decision so good luck.

[kfx400Rob]

dont waist your money on tanakas and actives, there not that great and they dont make much parts for them, iv been there done that.

a gtr40 (gp42) engine is your best bet, it will most likeley fit the only problem i can forsee is the clutch is 1.8mm bigger http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product1074.html there a little pricey, but i would say its well worth the money, no matter what you do with that stock engine, or tanaka it still wont keep up with this thing stock, this thing is doing 4+ horsepower at 14000 stock

i would seriously look into it

[Tbuck]

Everyone has their own preference, but to say Actives and Tanaka are not on the level with that motor is junk. Granted the Tanaka 40 is no beast, it is reliable and accepts plenty of bolt on mods. If you look into Scooterevents.com you will see that the Active 50 can be custom modded to easily produce legit speeds in the middle to late 40s. GPN is in need of more people like you who say their opinion is fact. Let it be known that there are some serious issues with the clutch on that motor he recommended to you. I don't speak from experience, but rather from the testimonies of numerous owners of that motor on other boards. I'm not saying the motor is not impressive, but rather not too reliable.

[kfx400Rob]

i have not had any experience with the gp42 either, i was not aware of any clutch problems with them, and i do not claim what i say as fact, however i know that the active is VERY similar to the moter he already has on there rite now, just a larger bore... i have alot of experience with that engine myself i had the 43 bored out to 52 and alot of other mods and it dindnt make very much power, i have had friends with tanaka 40s as well and there not very fast iether, im not saying the gp42 is reliable, just alot faster, if you realy want a reliable moter the one he already has is a pretty reliable engine.

[Tbuck]

If you're comparing that motor he has (and you had) to the Active 50 you are WACK! Just boring it out does not put it on the level with an Active motor. Your comparing a Yugo to a Porche. No wonder this board doesn't have any active members. Based on what this guy is saying, you listen to his advice and he'll steer you down the wrong path. I never claimed the Tanaka 40cc was the fastest motor, just offered an extremely fair price on an extremely reliable motor. You can easily get several thousand miles out of a Tanaka motor if taken care of it. Like I said before, there are plenty of others that you would fit right in with over on GPN. So, if that's as deep as your knowledge goes I'm done with ya! :nono

[kfx400Rob]

from what i can see the moter looks EXECTLY the same, is there somehting here im missing, i may be wrong...

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d53/kfx400rob/engine_spray.jpg
theres a diagram of an active 52 from there websit, and trust me i know that moter i had and it is EXACTY the same, its still only a two transfer port low revving slug from what i can see, correct me if im rong though i just cant see where that thing is any different, unless thats not the rite diagram, althoug it is directly from actives site.

[kawasaki400racr]

I've got a challenge for you. I want you to contact Jason of Coast Ped who does alot of my modification work as well as many others. This is no NOOB. He holds multiple world titles in the scooter industry. Anybody who knows this industry knows of Jason of Coast Ped. Ever since the Evo brand scooter came out he has been performing his magic on the scooters, as well as the Active 50. He started out on your beloved Gopeds. If anyone knows motors he would be an expert on the subject, far more experienced than either of us. But, because I'm so confident in what I am saying I ask you to pose your opinion to him either by phone 949 548-3858 or via scooterevents.com If you don't have the nuts, then I'll ask him and have him send a personal email regarding this issue and post it right here. Then we'll see who knows what. I would expect when you find out your error, you will be man enough to admit to it. Until then, here is some work that Jason has done on the Active 50, an expert.

Just a couple of links to verify the clutch problems with GP420.

Any question as to whether these engines are worth looking into? Hope to hear from you soon KFX500Rob!

[kfx400Rob]

im impressed with that headkit active moter, however IF that diagram is correct, i still stand by what i said, now i have had this moter on my boxer for a very long time, and its a great moter, it puts out great torque, but i dont like how they rev so low, i have no experience with the gp42, i just thought that it looked like a great engine worth looking at, that active, looked just like my old boxer engine with a head kit, with that and some good porting im sure that engine screams, but i thought that and i still do think that the gp42 is probably faster

[kfx400Rob]

also i think that tanaka 35 is prety nice 35 aint too bad, i had my boxer up to 37. i find the boost bottle comming off of the juice box kind of strang, never seen that before, does it add any power?

[silas92]

Ok i didnt get half the stuff u said!!!! lol im a bit of a rookie to this. But my question is should i buy a new engine or modd up my 43??? i dont mean extreme moding, just some nice plain mods. Im mainly using it for looks so.

[Tbuck]

I never said I took my motor to him for modificaton. Everything you see on my 35 Tanaka was done by myself. The question is: If you want the best, then you go to the best. I will guarantee you that any of his performance work will out perform any of your creations. All those headkits you see were not direct bolt ons for those applications. Required many hours of custom modification and precision to make them perform. As you can see by the PSWS head on his personal bike that was custom fabbed, its going on 1300 miles. The modifications that I had done by him were a brake kit, mod can and carbon fiber tranny plate. Guarantee you don't have the skills required to do the work he has done for me, or you would be in business yourself. Used his creations to prove a point that the Active is an all out performance motor. As mentioned to another person, GPN is in need of more individuals such as yourself. Read the entire thread and you will see that I just offered to sell a motor for a very fair price. Just combatting some of the false statements made. :nono

[kfx400Rob]

im sure those moters CAN go fast,,, but as you said yourself, it takes alot of work and custom expensive parts, thats why i recomended the gp42, any moter has potential, sure, i just think its not worth him paying for a whole new engine when e can buy a 52cc bore kit and it will be exactly the same.

[Tbuck]

dont waist your money on tanakas and actives, there not that great and they dont make much parts for them, iv been there done that.

I'm just combatting your statements in which you said Tanakas and Actives were not that great. I'm showing that these motors are tremendously reliable under heavy modification. The Active 50 is no pooch stock, easily getting into the mid 30s. This is pointless and I originally just offered to sell a motor to him if interested. The post was "Should I upgrade or buy a new motor?". I'm completely done with this.

u guys mean to eachother. why? im not understand why so mean

Tanaka knockoff? It's called a two speed Evo, the only two speed quality scooter around. :confused: Just proves your lack of knowledge. Gopeds are quality just the same as this one.

a two speed eh i dindnt know you can get that im gona look into that... how do you shift it or is it ato, or like a cvt

[kfx400Rob]

ooooo i looked at that 2 speed evo with the active, that must be why your thinkin actives are so fast, that 2 speed is where its at, if i could get a 2 speed on my bigfoot, wich obviously couldnt be doen without alot of mods, that would be wasome, id be realy haulin some tail!


wow it says it only does 35 with a 2 speed. thats kindof weak

hah... me no knolage a knock of tanaka... tanaka is a nkock off so is that whole scooter, there all nck offs, goped the only real deal and zenoah/ada/sicc ect. are the best engines out there so u my freind are lacking the knolage that you entire "bladeZ" ius a knock off goped was the first and goped is the best, iv owned the knock off and there is nothing like th goped... ill get some pics here shortly

[Tbuck]

By the way, this is no Bladez. The only thing Bladez about it is the motor that came off a bladez. Goped might be the original, but you show me their two speed scooter. The Ford Model T was the first mass produced car, but have better cars been made since. You bet ya. To answer questions worth answering: No, you shift it and its like butter. The first gear is exactly half the drive ratio as the second gear which allows for very fast acceleration and hill climbing ability. It's all belt driven and the sprockets can be changed for your gearing preference. These scooters have been out for some time and are known as Evo. As mentioned before, they are ultimately used for cruising, but with the use of two speeds make it a blast. Mind you, these scooters are not cheap. The Evo2 with the Active 40 is $600, and the Evo 2x with the Active 50 and suspension front end is $975. It's kind of funny when others talk about things they know nothing about. Even though I've never owned a Goped I know quite a bit about them as I am involved in the hobby. Gopeds are very high quality and competition is the best way to keep them that way. These Evos are some of the best quality scooters on the market. Engineering wise, they are the top scooter on the market. Alot more is involved with a two speed tranny than a simple chain or direct drive scooter. It's a matter of preference, I love mine. If interested I could direct you to a Evo roller (only two months old) that is for sale.

These scooters can potentially require a little more maintenance due to the complexity of them, but anyone with a little mechanical ability can handle it. If maintained you shouldn't have any problems with them. I haven't, its extremely reliable. Parts are easily attained also.

wel i gess thta cool but let me tell you if you rode a super bigfoot you would want to sell that thing in a second. i no i did...

Like I said, I'm not trying to talk you into the Evo brand. That last post was intended for another person that asked a question about it. Nice ped and thats your preference and I respect that. But, its not mine. I've rode some fast Gopeds, maybe not the fastest as you claim your is, but none the less I still enjoy what my Evo offers that others don't. So, you stay true to Goped and I'll stay true to Evo. Ride it like ya stole it!

haha lol, we all forgot about your question... i think that you shouldnt waits your time and money, you can do a whole lot to that motor and you will most likely gain nothing, iv been there trust me i had evrything on a motor likre that and it still was rediculusly slow and buying a new motor probably wont do anything either. evryone tryes to put mods on these things and nothing. in my opinion that scooter will just always be slow if you want a fast scooter than your just going to have to get a new one. id leave it alone

i agree, you can get em going fast, but it take alot of money, if you realy want power look into a gp42, but only if you know what your doing cuz you could run into some problems with that, if you want to spend the big bucks but realy want sum ballz on that thing look into pollini

The scooter you have is fine, I just wouldn't put a bunch of money in that motor as stated before. The Bladez scooter is a little on the heavy side, but it's a nice cruiser and should give you years of enjoyment. I own a Bladez Moby as well and with the motor I have and just a pipe (16 tooth gear) I top out at about 34mph (using a GPS). It's all a matter of what your idea of fast is. Just remember, there will always be someone faster than you. For me, mid to late 30s is plenty fast and I don't want any faster (even though with more mods I could probably go faster). For a quick way to achieve more speed (and cheap: $25) without doing anything to the motor change the gearing. Gears on that scooter range from 13-18. Just be cautious not to go too high as the motor you have will not be able to handle it. As you increase the size of the gear so will top speed, but at the cost of accelleration. With that motor I would recommend nothing higher than a 17 tooth gear. The stock gear is 15. Be safe and have fun.

I was thinking of just buying a tanaka 47cc and then just adding a boost bottle and maybe something else? mid 30's is fast enough for me, and i only way 80lb so acceleration is no problem.

[Tbuck]

Nice choice of motors. Very reliable and at only 80lbs. will be extremely fast and accellerate nicely. I'm not sure if you are talking about the Tanaka 47r of just the 47. If you have the money I highly recommend going with the 47r. Much nicer motor and plenty fast right out of the box. Mid 30s would not be a problem before any upgrades. Already comes with a hp carb, filter and velocity stack. Eventually, add a pipe and you will be pleasantly surprised.

[silas92]

Thanks for the advice Tbuk. Yeh i liked the look of that motor. By the way do u know were I can get a 47/47r cheap or if it will come down in price?

[Tbuck]

Highly unlikely to go down in price. The going rate on a 47r is about $385 and used ones are like a needle in a hay stack. The 47 goes for about $250. In the few years I've been in this hobby I don't believe I've ever seen a used one for sale. Good luck.

[silas92]

Lol i guess once u get 1 u keep it?

[silas92]

How good is this exhaust it will fit my current engine and the 47cc tanaka?

[silas92]

Would a 40cc tanka air filter fit on a 43cc engine?

[silas92]

Hey is this thing worth the money will it improve my engine?

man I ask so many questions :bigl

[It's Kinda Fast]

i would upgrade to a new motor like a tanka or maybe even upgrade to a goped... but i have had experience with those chinese motors and they are junk
