DBXL engine swap

[MatSki]

What engine is a simple swap for the DBXL? I can't afford an OBR or any other high end engines. Best bang for your buck without taking a second mortgage out.

The CY29cc that comes in the MTXL. I've tried it and its a direct replacement, and goes pretty good. To be honest im still happy with the stock 23cc though.

What pipe did you use?

I am using a Jetpro on my DBXL and the stock 23cc really woke up after I started using it but I don't really have anything to compare it to.

Thanks for the info!

The Jetpro is a a bit harder to work on than the other exhaust designs though so keep that in mind if you tend to take your truck apart often.

It’s it an expensive pipe?

I have a dominator and losi tuned pipe. Either works but the losi mounting bracket is garbage. It requires some fabrication.

It’s it an expensive pipe?

Just about any pipe ive seen is around 200 give or take. The dominator and losi on the low end compared to others, but they show it in the quality. The losi looks like it was welded by a blind man with 3 fingers.

Cool, I appreciate the knowledge.

I wouldn't discount those pipes though. I own and use both, they still wake up the engine alot compared to the stock can. Also be ready for it to be loud. I mean real loud.

If your spending the money get a zenoah g320. Will make the dbxl fly with a decent pipe. Then you open up a world of top end swaps and what not

 

[MatSki]

How much for the G320?

 

[Top Dead Center]

It's on sale right now.

[MatSki]

That’s reasonable thanks for the info!

 

[Seandonato73]

You wont be disappointed with it. Its arguably one of the best engines out there. If you decide to sell your rig. Toss the stock engine back in and keep the g320.
It can be swapped into about any 1/5 out there

 

[MatSki]

That would be the plan. Thanks again.

Sean is the one of the most helpful guys on here and knows his stuff but he is like those guys in high school who use peer pressure to make you do things you would never do on your own lol.I am probably going to go Seans route with my current project and get a 32cc for it since it does seem to be the engine of choice for most people other than the few nutjobs on here trying to make 10+ horsepower in their rigs.

I'm was real nutty then with a 28hp Baja ? it was pretty wild though lmao
Your best bang for the buck power to money and longevity ration is a zenoah g320. As stated above there on sale as well.
