CalBanshee Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 When I bought my banshee it had cool heads pods tors removal t5s and a boost bottle. I'm hearing mixed ideas about boost bottles Since its already on there is it worth changing It or getting rid of it? Is it robbing power? Should I ditch it or stick with it? Thanks Quote
bansheedemon Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 it doesnt add much power, but puts a lot of stress on the intake boots. Which if they crack can cause a big air leak and cause engine melt down from what i have heard. Id ditch the boost bottle. The benefits are not worth the potential downside imo. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I have heard about 7000 people say that they tried and the boost bottle never made any more power on a dyno. However I have only run into one guy who said it made an improvement but it was only 1 hp. That being said.....my bike had a boost bottle when I first bought it. I immediately started looking and sure enough.....you could see where the stress from the boost bottles extra weight had started to create tears in the intakes. After all my motor work that I have had done.....I didn't feel like have $30 worth of parts cause a problem to a motor Ive sank over 2k into. But do as you want.....if you wanna keep running it.....go for it. But we wont recommend it. lol Quote
CalBanshee Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Posted May 30, 2013 Ok so I'm gonna take it off. Do I need to run a stock tube or what are my other options Quote
bansheedemon Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah. Stock tube is best. And double check to nake sure boost bottle didnt break or crack anything, just to be on the safe side. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Like Jereme, my son's was cracking the boots. I used some grey pvc type caps, for 1/2" tube IIRC, installed with 3bond and hose clamps. Don't need no stinking crossover tube either, they sell boots without the holes. Quote
sl0wp0ke Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I just bought the stock tube from Farm and Sand Toys, after reading all the posts on here about them I would think a person would need to be retarded to run one haha. Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I've had 2 bikes with boost bottles that had holes worn in them from cables and the head. No need for that extra garbage in that tight space anyway. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Stock crossover or a Billit manifold with built in cross over. Quote
