I am new to the xtz's but I bought a 2010 and the trans came apart and cracked the bottom case. Please tell me more about changing motor to a rotax? I have a ds 650 with the rotax in it and its awesome! How can I put a rotax 1000 in a xtz does everything line up and what about the elctronics?

There's a member on here that put a 800 Rotax in a 650 prowler his name is sandchris,or you could try and get of hold of flying121 he might know how to get a hold of him.If I remember right the best thing to do is try to find a wrecked Quad and use the motor and wiring off of it.
It's a lot more involved then that. If you don't have time and the know how it wouldn't be worth doing it. The new Gen 3 and Gen 4 XTZ motors seem to be holding up fine. I have a gen 3 with some time on it and 12 psi of boost and it's holding up so far.

I do run ARP head studs instead of the head bolts that AC provides which like to stretch. I run 12 psi and yes I have a blow off valve. I mix 50/50 Sunoco MS109 ($$$) and super unleaded for now. I am planning on going to a straight 100LL Av gas and test a little. I am running a map sensor and my car auto tunes to my pre set AFR. I also run a 1/1 fuel press regulator and a larger fuel pump and I replaced every fuel line and fitting with Earls type and braided lines. I am still not confident with the married engine trans combo that AC has with the 951 motor. The highest water temps I have seen since modifying my front end have been 215 and that's in low range climbing steep **** for 10 minutes straight. The car normally runs around 165 to 180 in the winter and 188 to 195 in the summer. I drive very agressive and I am hard on the car for now during my testting phase because i want to see what will brake and leave me stranded. Once I fell confident in the car I plan to pull it apart and paint and powder coat it. I am 90% there. I have some oil pressure and clutch issues to sort out.
I believe fuel management is the most important piece to the puzzle when you run boost and my car seems to work well with the auto tune. I am not 100% comfortable with the non military type wires and connectors that Power Commander uses and if one lets go from vibration and or bumps I hope things stay together. Supposedly the default map that I built will continue to run if the PCV has issues.
understand well of what you speak ... I have seen 117 lbs of boost in my lil PEECUP twin turbo rig .. I have oversized 14mm head studs machined into my block v/s the 12mm stock head bolts .. been on the same head gasket since installing the twins about 50K miles ago ... back to that lucky thing LOL

What oil pressure issues are you having,what kind of coolant do you use,I like the engine ice.sounds like you have a rocket.The 900 RZRs run over 200 degrees very often.
