willardwright59 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Is a 4mil crank a good mod for its cost? What wil it improve? Thanks Quote
BUILDER Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Need a little more info for a good answer. Yes the 4 mill is a great mod but it really depends on what else you plan on doing to your motor? Quote
shanYE west Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 the answer is yes and no.. The port timings need to be corrected. If no porting is done... then the answer is no.. you'll actually make less power since the port timings will be jacked up. Quote

willardwright59 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 Haha damn. If you go to my profile, its under "my banshee" im new to the sight. Still gettin used to it Quote
Overboost Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 NEWGH..... it takes about $2000 of work to make a 4mil "correct" you dont just toss in a crank and call it a day, cases have to be trenched, port the case, port cyl, 4mil head, 4mil pistons list goes on and on, but you can send it to a builder along with your credit card and first born and like magic, in a few weeks you will have a 4mil sitting on your doorstep Quote

Overboost Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 oh yes, I am sorry, I forgot about the supporting mods and parts. pipes are critical to any 4mil, you can go as simple as some pro circuits or do some OOF pipes and dunable overides once you go 4mil, you cant look back. you can run stock carbs but you wont get the full potential from your build. just like pipes and porting, you can have a 4 mil but without them supporting mods and parts, your efforts were futile and will probably hurt your build in the long run without them and go slower than stock Quote

willardwright59 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Posted November 14, 2011 Cases don't need to be trenched for a 4 mill. with the mods i have (my signature) what would i have to do? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 your gonna need a crank, new domes, new exhaust, new cylinders (most ported cylinders are too far ported PAST what a 4mil port is) new pistons, new carbs (if you want the full potential)......etc, etc, etc..... things that i see that you WONT need to buy from your sig.......engine cases, reeds, and the aftermarket head itself Quote
BUILDER Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 NEWGH..... it takes about $2000 of work to make a 4mil "correct" you dont just toss in a crank and call it a day, cases have to be trenched, port the case, port cyl, 4mil head, 4mil pistons list goes on and on, but you can send it to a builder along with your credit card and first born and like magic, in a few weeks you will have a 4mil sitting on your doorstep There are so many things wrong in this post the only one I will say anything about is the case trenching. You do not trench cases for a 4 mill. As far as what you need to do to make yours a 4 mill. First would be to have a builder look at your cylinders and see if they can be ported to run a 4 mill crank or not. If they are not able to be ported for a 4 mill then you would need cylinders. Your carbs would work just fine with a stock cylinder 4 mill and I do not see what pipes you are running in your sig but with the mods you have listed I am assuming you have aftermarket pipes and most pipes will work with a 4 mill it just depends on where you want the power to be. Basically you would need domes crank and pistons if your cylinders would work other wise you are looking at domes crank and cylinders Quote
Glamis321 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 If in fact your cylinders can't be ported for a 4 mil, then you could run a spacer plate instead of buying new cylinders, although I wouldnt recommend it. Quote
willardwright59 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 Sorry about that, i have pro circuit pipes. I hear so much about the 4mil and a serval? Im not new to a banshee, my dads had one since i was born which is why i got one. But theres alot of things ive learned from this sight. There are hardly any trails where im at bc suddenly everythings posted bc other riders have no RESPECT! so im looking to get into more of a field racer. I drag race all kinds of quads and really wanna make mine faster and more powerful. Im still trying to decide what to do. Whats a serval? Any opinions on what i should do? Quote
