does anyone know if you can change the 265cc Subaru motor with a different engine? something with more power? if it is possible, where can you get one and would any modifications be needed?

The Harbor Freight Predator 420cc should work but verify your shaft size and rotation is the same. The Honda 390cc is a great engine but will cost a lot more.

Keep in mind that the factory matches the drive clutch and belt to the engine horsepower. Too much horsepower will smoke the belt and maybe the clutch.. your factory setup should be ok with a modest upgrade. I think your drive setup can handle up to a 400cca and would not go more than 420cc unless you plant to  upgrade clutches and belt .

      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Maybe all are aware of auction and equipment sales scams.  On another forum, I've done some research on scam auction sites for big ag equipment and have noticed that it has spread to autos and smaller stuff in the past year or two.   One was very sophisticated, including stolen IDs of known persons giving rave reviews of the auction site many going back several years to lend credence to the fake site.  The site was in fact less that one month old. The business address was a storage facility with no signage with a couple being just high rise office buildings.  The three I've looked into have used this three initials plus "auction.com"  format or similar.  "XXXauction.com". Ran across a new one 2 weeks ago in Craigslist.  Had some nice cars and trucks at auction, but visiting their auction site, the all too familiar red flags were all there and despite claims of 20 years in business the site was set up first week of November 2014.  
      First big clue and giant red flag is the prices shown. Usually 40% of what the equipment is worth, maybe less. 
      Red Flags:
      Prices are exceptionally low. Absurd delivery fees ie; 60 cents per mile, or $500 flat fee, anywhere in the US.  Moped or Army tank, all the same. Some buttons on site do not work. Auction closes shortly. Terms of payment always requires a wire transfer, no checks, no credit cards, only wire transfers. (Once a wire transfer is sent, there is no recourse, you can't get it back or get a refund). You get invoiced with remittance bank account numbers to wire your money to.   Photos are stolen from legitimate sellers or auctions. Often past sales and past auctions. Inability for you or your rep to inspect the machine.  Try calling and arranging an inspection, they won't do it for dozens of reasons.  These scammers award "winning bid" to literally everyone  who submits a bid. They send an invoice with remittance directions. Once you wire them money you even get a receipt. Then comes days of emails back and forth to set up the so called "shipment" of your equipment.  Of course that will fizzle out in a few days. By then your money is long gone offshore and you will not get it back or get anything for it.   
      Just think of how lucrative this scam is.  Lets say a high end UTV all decked out shows on an auction closing tomorrow.   Nationally, they get 67 bidders all of whom get their "winning bidder invoices" and pay by wire transfer. Lets say average of $14,000 per bidder.  That's $938,000 on one fake auction UTV that no one will ever get.  Do this in 10 auctions in a week, do the math!!!
      I've seen agricultural  combines sold this way for around $89,000 to $100,000,  How many winning bidders...no one knows.  But multiply that by 50 or 60 winning bidders.  Get the point?   
      Don't fall for this stuff, it is created, dies out, then gets recreated every 30 days or so.   Don't become a victim.
