Blaster 1 motor options

[keith t]

Is there an extensive list of motor options for the B1 ?

Clearly some installations will be more straightforward, just looking for which couches to keep an eye on for an 1100 or 1200 conversion

 

[stagesrt4]

well any yamaha based twin cylinder engine will bolt directly in.

otherwise rad dudes offer conversion plates to run either yamaha or kawasaki triple cylinder engines

 

[keith t]

So is that any or all yam and kwak tripples will fit ?

 

[stagesrt4]

1100 n 1200 i believe, not so sure on the 1300s

Yamaha 1200 non power valve motors will fit, 1200 and 1300 with power valves and the big exhaust will not. ADA makes CNC adapter plates that allows you to bolt in a stock Yamaha 1200 without modifying anything except the exhaust and coupler. Plenty of builds like this have been done, mine included, and they are pretty much bullet proof with lots of power.

The kawi 1100/ the yami 1100/ and Yami 1200 are by far the easiest . The yami gp800 is a little more difficult '' which I have done'' and the Seadoo 951 is probly the hardest to do and has been done also . That pretty well covers it .

What squid said ^^ and a bit like the B1 1200 Build doc I sent you a few months back

It totally depends on what you want your blaster for. I use my blaster for wave jumping only and like the weight savings of the twin motors over the triples. I went with a larger twin motor and I'm really happy with the outcome.

 

[keith t]

Performance without having a highly strung motor, river runs lakes etc primarily

 

[sneds]

Sounds like you are on the right track with a triple then. A good friend of mine built one a couple years ago and it was a fun ski, fast and lots of power!

 

[keith t]

Thanks, just looking for which couch models to watch out for, or is it as simple as all kwak 1100s and all yam 11 &. 12s work ?

Look for a 1100 zxi, 1100 stx, 1100 waveraider, 1100 waveventure, gp1200 or a xl1200. But ya any kawi 1100, any yama 1100 or non powervalve 1200 will work

 

[Wizards Powersports]

Yup, Dustin covered it. If you find an XL1200 it has to be a 98 only to have the NPV 1200. Also a SUV would work but they aren't too common! 97-99 GP1200 is probably one of the most common donors.

 

[Feerechris]

What needs to be done for the 98 1100cc swap in regards to electrical, prop and such? I Just bought a 93 waveblaster and it isn't running the greatest at full throttle.

 

[stagesrt4]

Zxi 1100 for $800 on chicago craigslist

 

[Quinc]

Looks like you can shove one of these in there too.

 

[Fro Diesel]

What is that quinc?

 

[Quinc]

Said 260hp seadoo rotax on the post.
