boondocker 700 rg on 800 dragon

[Ultrasauras]

I have a 07 700 dragon with a boondocker race gas set up can I mount it on a 800 dragon and just change the numbers in the box? Or is there more to it?

thanks

yes you can...at least with a silber kit. The only difference is the pipe so you would have to cut the flange and reweld it on the 800 stock pipe

I would highly suggest talking to BD directly before trying that. Personally I think it would be a bad call as IMO, the 700 is a far superior and more reliable motor, than the 4 injector 800

The 700 is 4 injector also, the pipe is different but the 700 box will run the 800 fine.

I have done it. works fine 08 700 to an 2010 800 dragon.

I realize that they are both 4 injector motors, my point was, that the 700 and the 800 under boost, have near identical dyno #'s, but the 700 didn't have nearly the problems that the 800 did (4 injector 800's in the IQ's, not the newer 2 injector 800 in the Pro's). I owned a BD RG 700 Dragon, and it was easily the most powerful (2 stroke), and also reliable turbo'd sled I've had.
Ultra, is your 700 motor blown? or why are you thinking of changing to an 800?

700 t

My 700 that I bought used last year with 1500 miles spit the connecting rod out the bottom of the case last spring with 2000 miles on it so it is not bullet proof in my opinion either. It has a rebiult motor now and I would like to switch it back to stock and let the kids ride it.

thanks

Got ya. I agree that it isn't bulletproof, no 2 stroke with a race gas turbo will be. I guess after having such good luck with my 700 RG Turbo, and rebuilding several other peoples 800's, plus hearing all the stories of problems with that motor (non turbo related), I am heavily biased to the 700. Either way, good luck and I hope it works out whatever you end up doing!

The turboed 800's really had no issues. It was all due tio the emissions that they were trying to meet that caused most of the proplems. When you turboed them and set the fuel up correctly they were fine.

turbo d 8

thanks again guys

How many lbs of boost were you running when it failed? I only asking because I have the same 700 with silbers kit?
