Stage 1 Porting

[yooperbanshee]

So, I'm picking up an extra motor this week for my shee. The motor is complete and just needs a crank and flywheel. The cylinders are ported with a stage 1 port. Right now on my banshee I've got a motor done by Jeff at Fast Racing. The cylinders are play/dune ported with a +4 long rod crank. I'm wondering what to expect out of the stage 1 port. What's the difference between stage 1, 2, 3, and 4?

Its not going to be anything like your fast motor,stage on is a clean-up port

[yooperbanshee]

So, the cylinders are really just cleaned up then and that's it?

that stage bullshit is trinity lingo. who really knows wtf it means.

[Snopczynski]

It means they roughed it up with a sanding pad!

[WINDYCITYJOHN400]

Yeah, it means they want you to think is special somehow...but don't expect much cause they don't want you to hold them to any power predictions.

[spurdy]

Yeah, the different stages could be anything, depending on who did them. In any case I wouldn't expect it to run anything like one of Jeff's motors. If it is just a clean up port, then you can still send the jugs out and have just about anything done to them.

The motor I'm buying is complete minus the crank. $200 and the cylinders came with it, so I figured what the heck for that price. Thanks for the help with the info. I figured it wouldn't be anything like Jeff's. Anything short of strapping a rocket to my ass and being put in orbit would fall short of the engine he did for me. To say it's Fast isn't doing it justice.

thats still a kilelr deal for that price. should be decent trail motor for a backup or maybe on a backup bike
