184cc Brute Force Power Racing Engine (short case)

"BRUTE MUSCLE" POWER BUILD OVERHAUL SERVICE

184cc · STROKED · BORED · HI-COMPRESSION

Our 184cc BRUTE MUSCLE upgrade is a massive improvement over what you're used to getting out of your old 150cc engine. Tires will spin and dirt will fly around the trail or track, even with the most aggressive tires. Want to know how it works on the inside? Read our very detailed article on the advantages of big bore and stroker builds.

ONE NASTY BOLT-IN RELIABLE POWERHOUSE

This ain't an eBay kit we're throwing on your engine. This is one of OUR secret recipe builds - A BDX EXCLUSIVE. We've blown up a bunch of test engines over the years getting to this level of power for price. And have modified and tweaked components with our own in-house equipment, machinery, and ingenuity to balance power with reliability. Unlike others, this setup will last you MORE than just a couple season. When taken care of with proper filtration and lubrication, you can expect our builds to last as long or longer than stock. This build is rock solid on reliability and BACKED UP WITH OUR 1YR WARRANTY.

See that BDX 184 kicking dirt going up the hill in the video?
That 184 engine was built in 2012 and still starts on the first crank. No smoke, no oil, no nothin'.

The expensive lessons in GY6 design that we've learned at BD are what make the difference in power and reliability between our builds and other options. Other places aren't even confident enough in their own skills to provide a warranty AT ALL on their builds.

Think about it. Don't pay for someone else's Science Fair project. Or pay hundreds extra for a middleman's sticker. We machine our exclusive top-level parts HERE IN VIRGINIA, USA and offer them to you directly.

We know you can buy lesser parts elsewhere and do it yourself, but by the time you've blown it once or twice is it really worth it? And there's no way you're going to get anywhere near the power density per CC that you get from the BRUTE package.

Skip all of that hassle - Go BDX.

Premium USA Boring and Machining

Our borework is done on 4,500 pound machinery built for precision. The end result is a center bore far better than stock. We hold a tight consistent tolerance to the outer wall of the 62mm cylinder sleeve. This contributes significantly to long-term reliability and cannot be achieved with 5 pound handheld drill boreout tools the other guys are using.

Custom BDX 184cc piston. Machined in-house, Engineered in-house.

This isn't a random piston thrown into the build from whatever popular brand. We specifically engineered and tailored this piston to this exact build combination.

Critical parameters like squish band, deck height, compression ratio, ring landing thickness, all dramatically change the performance and reliability characteristics of your engine. Our specs are all calculated, known and nailed down. Ask other sellers if they even know what these terms mean!

Go ahead, we'll wait with our engineering toolkit open to check whatever fuzzy numbers they come back with!



Our perimeter dome matches the angle and contour of the cylinder head, with a tight deck height and a small squish band.

The dish of the piston is tuned to hit our target high-compression ratio of 10.35:1. We wanted you to be able to run pump gas reliably without spark knock issues. For reference, stock is 9.2:1. Generally speaking, the higher this number is, the bigger bang and power you get out of the same size CC. So no, due to this and many other factors, not all 184cc builds are created equal!

THE BDX SPEED SHOP

You won't find the same thing coming out of China, Taiwan, or anywhere else in the States. Our engine packages are exclusively available here at Buggy Depot.

We carry our own brand. Others can't do the math and don't understand the underlying design principles. If you see a builder riding the coat tails of overseas companies and throwing a bunch of brand names in your face to sell their work, watch your wallet! We cut out the middle man and provide badass purpose-driven builds for far less.

BUILT WITH PRIDE IN THE USA


Every BDX build begins by doing the math right from the very start. Firmly understanding how turn the optimal numbers into physical parts, we use these calculations to inform and direct development of the final pieces. This allows us get bigger and more dependable results for a smaller asking price.

CHEAP BUILDS AIN'T CHEAP!

THINKING OF DIY?
OR DEALING WITH A BACKYARD BUILDER?

1. How many times can you afford to rebuild in order to get it right? or "right enough"
2. How much downtime will you have sending your engine back and forth to your "builder"?

Think you can avoid hassle by using a "no machining" big bore kit?

THINK AGAIN!

We've been there and done all of that, and have paid for our share of R&D so you don't have to.

Do it right the first time!

Every BDX Speed Shop engine build is covered under warranty.

Other "builders" try to slide out from under their own work and avoid warranty by telling you "race engines" aren't covered. That's some BS.

BDX 12-Month/2,000 Mile Limited Parts Warranty

The new components of your engine are warrantied for 1 year (365 days) from the date of delivery or 2,000 miles, whichever condition is met first. The warranty covers issues with the parts that arise due to defects in material or factory workmanship.

Conditions and exclusions:

IMPORTANT! You must use a genuine UNI Air Filter as a condition of this warranty.

-If the engine is run for any period of time without an air filter, the warranty will be terminated.
-If the engine is run for any period of time without proper lubrication, the warranty will be terminated.
-Belts, CVT weights, and clutches are not covered under warranty.

Buggy Depot does not accept returns or refunds on engine builds under any circumstances.

Question: Can I modify my engine without voiding the warranty?
No. Each component was chosen to match with other parts of the build. Changing parts of this build will most likely reduce performance, or cause damage. If you're going to do it anyway and sacrifice your warranty, contact us before modifying the engine for advice.

Warranty Procedure
If you think a component should be covered under warranty, please contact us online and submit a warranty request.

IMPORTANT! Buggy Depot does not operate through 3rd party repair shops, thus under no circumstance shall Buggy Depot be liable for service costs by any 3rd party shop or service provider.
