G1 big block project br250 bravo
Project for next three or four weeks I have a G1 and with me and my wife on it we have trouble getting up hills . with Yamaha 250
My goal is more power and hot speed any thing over 10 MPH is to much speed Lock up rear end. for sand trails riding . Fiberglas body work ( she looks like it crowed out from under a a rock) floor mats, and the paint job. If any one out there has some ides you would like to share it would be helpful !! |

Re: G1 big block project br250 bravo
I'm in the process of doing the same thing. Here's what I know....
The Yamaha Enticer 250 engine is identical to the 215 golf cart engine and is likely where Yamaha got the design from for the golf cart engine. The jug is a direct fit onto the cart engine, and the bottom end is nearly identical. The electrics are the same, except the cart has provisions for reverse, which can be swapped out. The ports on the Enticer 250 are much larger and there is no reed valve. The carburetor is much larger. You could simply buy a jug, piston, head, and carb and bolt it onto the G1 engine, that's what i intend to do. Here's a guy who did this already that I talked to about the swap. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/big-b...-250-swap.html The Yamaha Bravo 250 engine is a completely different casting altogether. There really isn't any resemblance. The electrics are similar enough that you can install the G1 electrics with reverse on this engine. This would require having a complete Bravo sled so you can rob all the engine parts. You would have to rig the primary clutch with a pulley so you can have a starter/gen. Heres a good thread on this swap. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/big-b...lockin-g1.html IMHO I think the Enticer would be the easier swap since you retain the stock bottom end and use the stock exhaust and clutch and electrics for reverse. You might get more power out of an entire swap though, but you'll be in for alot more work. Either way you go you are looking at considerable power increase, prob at least 50%! |

Re: G1 big block pro to start withect br250 bravo
Thank you for the reply! I have been read all the artistic that are on this sight and have a good idea of most of what needs to be swapped around but often some one that has done the same project will say if I had to due it over I would --------. Bravo motor is on the work bench now an have it striped down to the bare motor. planing on replacing the oil seals first thing. Next part is to make up a new motor mount plat. I am also wondering if using the stock G1 muffler as well the stock clutch would work. Mostly because of lack of funds!!!!
Any one have any commits or suggestions ? |

Re: G1 big block project br250 bravo
I've actually been looking for a G1 to drop a bravo/enticer engine in. I'm going to live vicariously (holy crap I spelled that right the first try) through you.

Re: G1 big block project br250 bravo
120 should be pretty good. But no harm in doing it now if you can.
