BumpaD_Z28 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Hello, after WAY TOO MANY hours on a stock cylinder 1999 Banshee, it finally "burned down" and needs a rebuild ... The non cosmetic mods were: Pro-Tec boost bottle (going to eliminate that) Toomey's T-5 pipes, and Cascade billet exhaust clamps K&N POD filters w/ outerwear's K&T performance: Milled head (don't know how much?), Lightened flywheel, and +4 timing plus 2" rear swing arm w/ braided rear brake line Boysen power reeds W/ spacers CASCADE Clutch Disengagement Adjuster CASCADE Modified Shift segment Pro Design Billet water pump Impeller I had no problems running with my friends 450's and Raptor 700's up the hills ... But now some of them have gone to Hi-comp pistons and Hot cams ... So my plans are: NOSS cool head with 19 or 20 CC domes (I ride at St A. ID and Little S. UT both ~5000 ft) The stock head got a lot of "damage" from the rings being slammed into it So now do I have F.A.S.T or Herr Jugs do a DUNE port job on it along with the bore (I think .010 will clean it) and Wiseco pistons / rings / etc. ??? -OR- just have it bored locally, throw some pistons in it and hope it is as fast as it once was .... I'm worried about having only a "light switch" top end, I do only ride the dunes, but the quad always seemed to have excellent mid/low end performance. Also I can't imagine how, but will porting effect reliability ? I rode 2 years with less problems than some of my 4 stroke friends with NEW quads !!! (I do routine maintenance religiously) Any thoughts appreciated !!! THANKS ~DaVe Quote
KEVSWS6 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Easy......port that bad boy. You will wonder why you didn't do it earlier. You can get power from top to bottom. Its up to you and what you want. Quote

Its up to you and what you want. So from your site: Dune/Hillshoot $300.00 + Full rebuild $295.00 = 595.00 + The cool head / domes (keeping them seperate as they are BOLT ons) ... Correct ? ~DaVe Edited January 28, 2009 by BumpaD_Z28 Quote

Correct ? ~DaVe That's correct. You tell me your pipes and where you want the power. The dune port name is just generic for full port job from me. I can fix you up. 2 week turn around time. Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Easy......port that bad boy. You will wonder why you didn't do it earlier. You can get power from top to bottom. Its up to you and what you want. I agree.. Port jobs can bennifit MOST everyone! RIPPEN Quote
bonbon Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I agree.. Port jobs can bennifit MOST everyone! RIPPEN PSHH.....I haven't even ported yet. I just like those CP Industries cylinders....... :biggrin: Definitely get a port job bro, you'll love it and as Kevin said they can port them to get the power where you want it and to compliment your pipes. I'm even holding on to my stock cylinders to get them ported someday and build myself another motor. Gotta have a spare right? Quote
250Rho Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 id do it your not going to regret it the cool head is a good choice the cooler the better the only thin that i didnt like is that boost bottle boost bottle=worthless other than that i like the way u think im getting ready to have mine ported its gonna be sweet!

00tbanshee Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 have kev hook you up with one of his bad ass port jobs.you won't have any regrets for sure Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 def go for the porting and a NOSS head. Quote
FASTOYS Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 z28 I have ridden at both places you ride at and know what it takes to make power at your altitude. Do your research and you will be happy with porting. Seems alot of people are getting porting from others and not getting the bottom end they want. ANyone can make top end power, so discuss with whomever is doing your work and make sure to get what YOU want/need. Quote
messer007 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 porting is the way to go its like a totally different bike...but on the piston deal I myself like the Vito's Super Stock Pistons they seem to really help out a lot Quote
jimbob Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 yeah i would defo recommend porting, i had a pretty stock shee last year and i thought it was the nuts, i did a couple of little things like vf3's +4's and pods with outerwears and it blow most 4 bangers away, i got this new one wuth paul turner porting and huge carbs and its f*cking insane Quote

Now the age old battle of Jeff or Kevin ... Thanks everyone !!! ~DaVe Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Or a Dune ported 4 mill for an extra $400 :biggrin: Quote
xsinnerx Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Or a Dune ported 4 mill for an extra $400 :biggrin: that is definatly the way I would go if i were to do it again, spend the little extra money now than having to pay more when you want to go bigger again, you will want more after you get used to the new power.
