2019 Build Off Winner!
Welp, the Tillotson 225 finally rolled in!
https://www.gopowersports.com/225cc-tillotson-performance-engine/
And the long block:
https://www.gopowersports.com/225rs-tillotson-long-block/
It is $750 for the full engine. Crazy! But at the same time, a Stage 4 engine is about $875, before the performance kit has been optioned out.
So, actually, this is a true bargain crate engine.
Here's what GPS says:
Introducing the all new 225cc Tillotson Performance Engine package from GoPowerSports. This is not your run of the mill engine, this is a bored, stroked, and clearanced RACING engine designed for high RPM and high HP. If you have a mini bike, go-kart or drift trike and are wanting more power on the cheap, then look no further! This is the engine for you!
Engine Break Down:
72mm Tillotson Block (extra webbing, bracing, and thicker material is built into the casting producing a superior block to any other)
Bore : 72mm / 2.835"
Stroker Crank : 56mm / 2.205"
265 Lift Tillotson Racing Cam (wide power band, great for mini bikes and yard-karts, equipped with compression release)
Billet Rod with bearings
Forged, Lightweight Racing Piston
Tillotson Race Head (Large Ports)
27mm Intake Valve
25mm Exhaust Valve
26lb Valve Springs
Heavy Duty Retainers with Automotive style keepers
22mm AfterMarket Mikuni Carburetor kit (jetting and tuning will be close but some adjustment may be required)
Tillotson Racing Coil
ARC Billet Flywheel (standard fin length)
CAUTION!!!! This engine is not for young or inexperienced drivers. These engines are shipped with NO OIL. We recommend a high quality oil designed for splash oil systems such as Thor Oil or AmsOil 4T to provide better protection. Always keep 16 ounces of oil in the engine while in use. This is a performance RACE engine package, some assembly is required such as exhaust. *Block does not have tabs for mounting a fuel tank.
THIS PACKAGE DOES NOT COME WITH AN EXHAUST UNLESS YOU SELECT A HEADER PIPE FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU.
Break in required!
Premium gas or equivalent required.
Bored/stroked/clearanced with a racing head already sells it to me.
It seems a little wacky that they say it's been ported, but it comes with a Mikuni 22mm?? Seems like a restriction, and there's no carb options. Unless you get the long block, then you get to partially build it.
I would upload pics for reference, but my usual method isn't working for some reason.*shrug*
Sounds pretty neat!
Flyinhillbilly! When are you gonna get one of these to play with???
