This season we wanted to try out the Trygstad 872. We got in touch with Dave in the early fall. We sent some cylinders out to him after speaking on the phone extensively. He always answers the phone, and is calm, collected and polite in his customer service approach.
We received the top ends back and assembled a few of them. Before assembly, we went over all the parts very thoroughly. His kit is the most well built, complete ready to assemble big bore that we've had our hands on. Cast pistons, full instructions, no finicky fuel box, comes with all gaskets needed to assemble. Looks 100% stock externally.
After a few hundred miles, we can easily say these are the most powerful, smooth 2-stroke engines we have ever built without forced induction. It took a few rides to get the clutching dialed but they are throwing a few grams more than our stock XM clutch kits, and making trackspeed similar to a pump gas turbo. We have had zero problems...just ear-to-ear grins. We build a lot of motors, we do a lot of modifying, but we are rarely this impressed with an aftermarket product.
We just built a 2015 T3 163" with TKI belt drive, Team TSS-04 clutch conversion, and the 872. Once we get some more snow we will post up some videos against a stock T3 163.
There is a lot of back-and-forthing over who makes the best ETEC BB kit, but this is our experience and our 2 cents for what it is worth.
