    (TS) New engine for gator TS

    I have noticed that the factory 10hp engine in my TS is just not cutting it anymore. The power is not there and I was thinking about going to an 18hp v twin briggs engine. what do people think of the idea I will make some videos and take pictures if I do the project.

    I like the idea man! How about 40hp with turbos?

    that would be so sick I might make a junk yard run and get a small turbo no more boost than like 8-9 psi and it would fly. I think the factory transmission can only handle like 30 hp but I could gear it down to to make it cruise at 35-40 mph

    I wanted to stick the engine from my polaris trail boss in my old 4x2. 350 liquid cooled 2 stroke. Lack of rear suspension cured my obsession with that idea. You need to invent suspension for the rear and then make it go fast and if you have time mabey 4wd

    I had a TS at one time. I was looking at the 23HP Kohler motor on my stump grinder and it looked like it would be a relatively simple transplant and that engine is industrial grade. Might be worth a look see into the 23HP Vtwin Kohlers.
