Yes, from your first post it sounds like you do have the slides in correct. The cuttaway section on the slide (frown shape ) faces the rear of the bike. You can take off your air filter and look into your intake to verify this. Also look into your intake to verify that both of the slides are going all the way down. The choke tube will make it bogg and barely run or kill it so I doubt it is that. Really sounds like an air leak or a stuck throttle cable or the slide in the carbs are not going all the way down.

Install a latch and pad lock on your closet door. Put bong inside closet and lock the door. Give the key to a friend that promises to only give it back at the end of the semester! You need to put the rest of your life on hold and concentrate 110% on studying. Study groups work very well too. There's always somebody that know WTF is going on or has last years tests. I've been down in the bottom of the 9th and pulled the ol' grand slam manny a time in college. You can do it, now go crack a book you slacker!

Maybe try 1 clip position richer on the needle, supposed to make a big difference on the blaster. Earlier year blasters came with the needle in the second clip from the blunt end, later years came with the clip in the 3rd (like 01 and newer I think?) even though nothing changed on the motor, just jetted it richer.

I had a very similar dilema with my wifes blaster. It has FMF Fatty, K&N w/lid off. It was jetted for Oregon dunes sea level when I bought it. Supposedly it was jetted by a good shop in Coos Bay. The jetting was: needle clip in 3rd (middle position, one clip richer than stock) and main was at 270. I thought there was a jetting problem with it because it ran like shit and would hit the band and then flaten out realy bad really quick. If you held it at WOT it would aventially rev out and make a little more power but not very good. From the searches I did at Blaster HQ and asking around I was told that the main should be from 260 to 280. Turned out that the Oil injection was on its way out so it would get lubrication but not consitanly or possibly speradically. Main rod bearing finally seized and the crank main bearings weren't far behind, although the piston and cylinder were fine although the cylinder walls were very sticky and were starting to run really dry. I got the Vitos 240 bigbore resleave kit which has way bigger ports and will be like an extremely ported cylinder when the ports are enlarged to be matched up with the bigger ports in the sleeve. Anyway I'm telling you this because the kit came with a #330 and 340 main, #35 pilots and a custom needle. I'm guessing that 270 main should be correct for you. I cant say for sure what your symptoms are from but I sure wish I had installed an oil injection block off kit before the wifes blasty bit the dust.

Is this the correct website? All I can find is car rims... Nice ones though.

My dad was the president of the CA milk advisory board for the last 3 years and on the board for 20 years total, just retired, they are the ones that have the "Got Milk" and "Its the cheese" real California milk and cheese commercials, made and decided the direction that they want to go with the commercials and then had advertisement production companies come up with and present ideas and then make them. Most of the national milk commercials started in CA, the slogans caught on and the national dairy board took them over. Some of the funniest ones never made it to TV because the dairy board is funded with money that is taxed, like $0.005 of every galon of raw milk sold from the producers. Even though the money came from dairy men the government still had controll over what was done with the money since it was a sort of involentary tax. They would not allow some of the really funny commercials if they were controvertial at all nor would they allow butter commercials that said anything bad about margerine (partially hydroginated fat causing heat attacks and not the saturated fat in butter). But my dad told me about some that sounded really funny, they would have been even better than the trunk monkey if uncle sam hadn't put the cabash on them.

Thats what I do. You don't have to get the ratio absolutly perfect though, its like a hand gurnade, get it real close and it works just fine!

Is UAE American friendly? Its kinda hard for fat white boy to blend with the locals? Whats the exchange rate like? Could I live like king on $100 a day or so. Sounds like it would be a fun fantasy trip to plan for the future.

Hmmm Intersting launch method. Are you using the e-brake or your right foot for the throttle and break at the same time? Sounds like that would take a lot of practice. It's probably harder to break loose all 4 on the stealth because you've got wider tires and more overall traction. I just use the e-brake to keep the car from rolling, feather the throttle, dump the clutch when the rpms are on the way up at 4k and go for the spin all 4 off the line method myself. Actually anymore I avoid launching it hard like that, it eats clutches and is super hard on the car. Most AWD cars weren't really ment to be launched like drag cars although they do leap off the line if done right. I know of a guy that goes to the same performance shop that I do that burned up a clutch on a new lancer EVO at 11k miles. And the tires were alredy bald! Ouch! I toasted my stock clutch at 60K miles and I bought the car at 38K and I wasn't even abusing it, probably the guy before me.
-
Now you say you going to feather the clutch and then dump the clutch, so which is it, and how are you going to feather the clutch with out the car moving. Don't you mean feather the throttle, and unless you are moving you are not putting a load on the motor. Basically your only trying to get enough enertia built up in the engine and flywheel to launch the car and sustain forward movement and/or wheel spin to keep you going long enough to get fast enough in 1rst geat so you dont drop below the RPM's at which your turbo can make boost other wise your car will fall on its face waiting for rpms to come back up so the boost will kick in again. You can make "real" boost in neutral, just not nearly as good as when your moving under a load because you can only hold the throttle wide open for about a second from idle untill it readlines so the turbo doesn't have time to fully spool up, but Its still enough to easily pop the BOV in my car. Was really easy with the T-25 it would hit almost 20 psi when reving it in neutral, but will even do it with my mutt ete32 but only to about 14 psi due to way more lag.

That's like saying why would you keep your 69 camero ss when you could go out and buy a corvette. Stock VS Stock the corvette will win, but the camero is way easier to mod, more do it yourself friendly, and arguably more fun and sole stirring to drive. Ive been in a new vette and their friggin fast but kind of sterile and costs a fortune. If you ask me, now the camero sounds better, smokes the tires, gets you all sideways, feels like a muscle car and not like a caddy, now thats got some flavor!
-
turbo cars dont build boost at idle, they create vacuum... Maybe he ment you could get the turbo to spool to 15 PSI by reving the motor while sitting in neutral. Doesn't mean much though, the larger the turbo the less boost you can make by simply reving the motor at idle due to more lag the bigger they are.

Has Any Ever Heard Of This Product
Ducman replied to Chase5712's topic in General Banshee Discussion
Probably does about the same thing as the Nology hot wires. It's probably like a capacitor that stores the spark energy and releases it all at once so you have one shorter but hotter spark. It probably could make a noticeable difference. The special affect from the capacitor also probably wears out after not too long like the Nology wires too. -
ducmans HQ calibrated dyno says (50+45+35+37+50+45+50+50+37)/9= 45.44hp right on the F**ken money, no more no less, you can take that shit to the bank. Throw in some new plugs, clean the air filter and I'll give you and additional 0.25 hp.

Yup. When you mill the head the piston starts getting too close to the dome around the outer edges of the piston (the squish band) and causes bad combustion chamber geomety and too little clearance and detonation problems. .030" is safe for mill only, more than that and you need the domes re-cut. Mill only is like $50. PM Boonman, he does it.

6 am banshee alarm clock for the neighbors then! I loved it, mine started first kick after I put the noss head on. Hope you can go out and tear it up for a bit.

Daaaaaaamb thats quick! Thats not a street going machine is it? Yeah, street bikes make cars like a moving slalom coarse. 900rr was one of my first covated bikes too. Yeah, my gsx gets to 120 pretty quick but acceleration slows down a lot beyond that. The bikes, especially the liter class keep honkin on past that untill you pretty much run out or gears, or start to shit yourself, which ever comes first. My shit starts runnin and $160 and I still got a gear to go.

I think the Diablo only hit the gas 1 time and that's when it went smoking past. I think this guy doesn't have a clue when he has had his ass handed to him in a split second and when the other guy lets off he's still racin the wind so he looks like he's out front. Remids me of a time I went skiing this winter. On the way home there was this Saturn (yeah, lame car, but the story gets better) with some crazy dudes in it. They were swerving in and out of traffic like madmen. I however knew the road like the back of my hand. There were 3 steep winding grades in a 45 mile stretch. Each grade was about a mile long and I would scoot up it at like 120 and the crazy dudes would be out of sight in my rear view eating dust. I would cruiz along at 70 right after the grade, 5 over the limit. Me and my friend would look back and laugh our asses off at the insane manuvers they would do to get around traffic trying to catch up and we were just putting along as usual. When they went by us we would just sit back and let them try to hang themselves, I know where all the highway patroll hiding spots are and knew most of them anyway. Sometime after the 3rd hill when we smoked passed them we went past the fuz and we didn't see them behind us anymore. The supra guy doesn't know when to quit If his shit's so bad he should take video's at the racetrack to prove that he is capable of running an 8 second 1/4 which is what he seems to be trying to display with a little favorable video editing. I do admit that turbo sounds sweet. Damb, I need to turn the boost up some more on mine.

How Do I Get A Picture Beside My Name?
Ducman replied to bansheegirl01's topic in General Banshee Discussion
Ok, curiosity button got pushed Somebody say redhead? -
I run Castor 927 at 32:1. I usually just get the smaller bottles and pour one bottle in with 4 gallons of gas. How many gallons could I safely get away with mixing one bottle with? 1 Gal = 128 OZ mix 32:1 using 4 galons X 4 gal = 512 OZ / 32 = 16oz = 1 small bottle of castor 927 mix 40:1 using 5 galons X 5 gal = 640 OZ / 40 = 16 oz = 1 small bottle of castor 927 If you have a 4 gallon container and want to go 40:1 then mix 40:1 using 4 galons X 4 gal = 512 / 40 = 12.8 Oz = 1 small bottle of 927 with some left in it.

Thanks for the great feedback and comments. Yeah, I'm not saying that I was planning to get this done, it just looked cool and the kids at the Blaster HQ seem to love this kind of crap. If I were to try it out, I think I would use the wifes Blaster as the Gunnie pig. Hehehehe I knew that the flow would be disrupted before it went into the intake port but I immagine that it could speed up flow through the carb itself (due to a larger x-sectional area, not so much the vortex effect) and atomise the fuel better (due to the vortex effect). Once the fuel is atomised in the air I would think it will generally stay that way. I doubt that it would be noticable though. I completely agree that the rifeling on the exhaust port is totally assanine, mabe on a 4 stroke, but on a 2 ????.... No. Also from what I remember from thermodynamics, a vortex is actually bad. You want the air velocity to be fast mainly only in the direction of the path it has to take. The faster the air moves, the more friction that is generated and you dont want to waste friction on air velocity that isn't going in the direction that is doing any good. I think that if the inside surface of the carb was dimpled like a golf ball that would help cut down on air friction from the boundary layer, this is also the same reason that you dont want the intake port polished (along with better atomization of droplets of fuel that land on the intake walls, you dont want the fuel to be able to easily run in drips along smooth walls) and the reason a golf ball has dimples. The exhaust side is polished because the expanding gasses comming out of the cylinder are in a supersonic flow and are so turbulent that they dont have a boundary flow layer. That is, if I still have any fully functioning brain cells that could ratain memory after college.

Will My New Boost Bottle Give The Shee Extra Hp?
Ducman replied to bansheegirl01's topic in Banshee Repairs and Mods
Dont listen to all these ney sayers. After you install that boost bottle let me tell you better hang on tight!!! To your wallet next time your at the dealership! -
That is soooooooooo Bulshit! I have a 996 and I guarentee that I could destroy that supra! and the GRXR 1000 could smoke me on the 996 in straighrt line acceleration, shit, my GSX could probably beat that supra. I have never met a car on the street that I couldn't absolutely smoke from a rillong start like that. I'm sure some exhist, but I haven't met one yet. Riding over 120mph on a bike at night is suisidal! The only reason that supra probably even went by was that the rider on the GSXR had enough common sense to slow down and not waste his time or take stupid unnecessary risks at night. Shit, the GSX1000r probably didn't even know that the Supra was trying to race! GSXR 1000's do high 9 second quarter mile times right out of the box! and there not made to be launched real hard off the line! With a few mods to help the launch off the line; the right swingarm, a drag tire, and befier clutch they could do high eights! So from a rolling standpoint you are looking at an 8 second bike against a 12 second car at best! Trust me, I am a big fan of turbocars, but I must call Bulshit!

StealthAWD, good to see another DSM fan in here. Most people never realize what you can do with a DSM turbo car. They are just like a banshee, tons of power weighting to be released with some mods and tuneing, just costs a little more than the banshee. People are dumfounded when my GSX walks off and leaves there camero SS or mustang GT. My wife has the new lancer and that car is sooo friggin insane in the corners! Lil' kids that are spolied W/money to burn, life handed to them on a silver platter will grow into irresponsible unsucessful adults most of the time in my experience. I canned salmon in Alaska for 3 summers and got an engineering internship job and worked for my dad on the Family Dairy all durring college to pay my way. You lean a lot of priceless life lessons along the way when you have to struggle and work for it. Race450, keep your nose clean, stay focused on school and out of trouble because, trust me, it is even easier for someone with money to go down the wrong path! Your way ahead of yourself thinking about a twin turbo and YZF450's. Why don't you go out and get a job, learn the "value of a buck," and buy it yourself, you will apreciate what you have much more when you earn it. If you keep living life on daddys dime you will never grow up! Trust me, I have rich cousins like you that grew up to be profesional partyers.

Is 24:1 To Much Oil With Yama Lube R?
Ducman replied to German Shepherd's topic in General Banshee Discussion
When your revving it up real high alot the engine is actually getting more oil because more fuel is flowing through the cylender. 32:1 is plenty rich. The owners manual calls for rediculously rich mixtures.
