Which option should I take? Engine or upgrades?

[DHZminiriderz]

Well I have owned my 140 DHZ for about 2 weeks or so now and im already looking for more power etc. I could either save up for a new 155z engine and eventually get a new V2 head OR I could just upgrade my Zongshen 140 by buying a new carby (26mm OKO flatside) new uni-filter and any other suggestions?

I would really like to get the new 155z but i would have to wait about 3 months or so before i will have the money to buy one, what is your input?

cheers

Take a sincere look at your final power goals, versus how you'd have to spend to get there. The 140 can be modded, but you'll reach a point of diminishing returns in the 15-17HP range, but can reach 18-19. The Zonger starts a little stronger than the 140, stock, and can be made faster and bigger, cheaper. 140 jumps up a couple HP with a bore of the stock jug to accept a TB 57mm piston and TB300 cam, decent springs. Add a 26mm carb and you'll hunt stock 155's easy enough. Next step, 1mm over valves and porting add another mule to the wagon. After that, it's a reworked TB 30mm or Tak head. Then a stroker. I usually just go +6 for a 57x63 161cc. Pulls like a train through the midrange, sounds like an open-classer. Pretty reliable and can be done in stages. Already owning the motor helps You can even score stock jug to have bored, or aftermarket equal, for minimal downtime and back to back test ability.

IMSLTHO, any way

yeah i was thinking and i might just get the carby for now, then save up for the engine. I was just comparing other peoples opinions but I am leaning towards the engine
