Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and had a quick question. I have a 2000 Polaris trailblazer 250. I have decent knowledge of it for the most part. Modifying is where I need assistance. Had it bored .30 over, have a DG exhaust and stage 1-3 carb jetting kit a can put in it. Has standard filter. How much will I gain and will it wake it up much? I have not machines the head! Not sure what to do there as I understand this is a piston port motor with no reed valves. Any help will be great! Thank you

On a two stroke the performance comes from the cylinder porting and stuffing of the crankcase. The pipe will help, but what pipe do you have? Low end, mid range or top end? Jetting the carb only compliments the modifications to the crankshaft, crankcase and cylinder porting. As far as boring, the increase in bore has minimal affect on power output or performance - it basically only renews the engine when it is worn beyond the service limit. Good luck

The pipe is a DG exhaust. Thanks for the feed back

I would enlarge the exhaust port and then polish it, raise the top of the exhaust port 2 mm, open and smooth the intake and transfer ports and raise the transfer ports 1 mm. In lieu of raising the transfer ports 1 mm, install 2 base gaskets and raise the exhaust port 1 mm. Do not polish the intake port. For maximum performance, polish the rod and have the crank assembly jig alignment/balance holes filled with cork or other light weight fuel proof material. Remove the oil injection and install sealed main bearings in the engine cases. Install a 1 to 2 mm larger venturi carburetor. Install a mid to high rpm expansion chamber.

These modifications will raise the peak HP and increase maximum RPM. It will also decrease low end torque.

Run 87 octane non ethanol gasoline mixed 20 to 24:1 with a premium synthetic, vegetable or hybrid synthetic/vegetable oil. Run a B9ES or B9EIX spark plug. You may advance spark timing a few degrees, but advancing the spark timing will reduce low end throttle response while increasing high end HP and torque.

Remember: you can only go as fast as you can afford.

I had another question for you if you have a minute, with the airbox modification for more air K&N air filter and the DG exhaust which I think is about mid range, it jumps up good and gets to top speed quickly. (they call it a high output exhaust, it feels mid range). I put a 140 main jet and 40 pilot jet, 3 setting on jet needle in carb. It still feels like it can go more on wide open throttle! What would you do there! I went to a 160 and it loaded up. 140 was great but felt like it needed more.

Pilot jet is for idle only and seldom needs changed - the slide needle is for steady throttle settings between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle - the main jet is for WOT - if a 140 is too lean and a 160 is too big try a150 - they also make 145 and 155 jets.
