MyNameIsMud Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Had a question about big bore options for my shee.Neighbor kid just had a local shop put in a vitos sleeve making his blaster a 240cc.This got me wondering if i could buy sleeves to put in my jugs to do the same? What besides buying a whole kit can you do to get a big bore setup? I dont really have a specific size in mind and dont want to have a small fortune in doing it.But is it possible to mix match stuff and it live?

Dahl87banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Don't do it cheap. Big bore doesn't do much till you go up a quite a bit with porting. Port your stock cylinders and call it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiousity how big of sleeves can you install in stock jugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticktock Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you want more power give one of the site sponsors a call. Wildcard, HJR, FAST, Redline and the others all make extremely powerful engines. I suggest Wildcard or FAST, they are the sponsors I deal with and they provide great help!!

MyNameIsMud Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 72mm http://www.bansheedepot.com/proddetail.asp?prod=16-5708 YES! Something like that! So if im getting it ported anyways and i send it off to be ported along with these sleeves to be installed and ported at the same time this isnt a good way to go? Im looking at just a bolt on banshee that will live in harmony with my T5's and other minor bolt ons.Big bore sleeves/porting would be about what im looking for. Again looking for a low buck descent setup not really worried if its the baddest thing around just some more power and figured since ill be getting them ported soon why not look at a little more displacement? Say a guy was to buy these sleeves,add in pistons,then the labor excluding port job what would labor along on this be at a fair price from one of the sponsors here? Also what does taking this engine up to twin 72mm bores bring the cc's up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Resleeving cylinders isnt cheap. The labor cost more than the actuall sleeves. I had a pair resleeved and had about 500 in the sleeve job alone. If you go hog wild with the largest sleeve possible then you reduce the transfer ports because the sleeves are so large. I had a pair of 66mm-68mm sleeves installed in mine. I just ran blaster pistons on a 4 mill long rod crank. They didnt cut in to the transfer ports. There was still aluminum next to the sleeve in the transfer ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought maybe while at it i could get some extra power on the cheap should have known better.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
