m671054 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 If you going aftermarket cylinder why not start with a serval. You could always port it into a cub if you wanted to later. As far as cranks if you go 4 mil look at vitos as they have keyed webs to prevent twisting out of phase. I know i payed way more to phase pin and rebuild a stocker than it wouldve cost for a vito. Lastly that girdle head is a waste of money. Run the cut stocker from justwannarace Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 I did a couple things on mine that worked really well. We never fought case or seal issues. But, I also started with brand new cases and was pretty diligent about a couple of things with the seals the two times I had it apart. If it wasn't for the center section not being pinned on my original crank I would have never opened it back up. It would eat reeds every now and then but the motor was bullet proof. Quote
m671054 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Were the reed issues from n20 hiccups or just accelerated wear? Quote
Deadbeat Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 do the land speed record fo sho Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Nitrous hiccups, and accelerated wear. Once we switched to TDR the Reed issues became few and far between. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 TDR reeds do very well with nitrous and cold. Trying to get him to make me replacement petals for the VF4's. I like the carbon, but the winter racing kicks the shit out of em and the tips are always fraying. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Yep. I made some threaded inserts that put the nozzle in the factory crossover tube holes so the reeds got hammered by the nozzles. The only time it would hiccup was when it didn't leave when the clutch got dropped or it ran out of fuel down track. Quote
tyrel Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Posted September 3, 2014 So far my reeds are showing minor wear. I talked to Tony from TDR and will probably be going with the several cylinders on the stock welded crank. now I just gotta save some cash! Quote

You will rethink that. Quote
tyrel Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Posted September 3, 2014 good to know, so I if keyed is the way to go I should just go with a 4mm vito Quote
m671054 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Vito has a stock stroke keyed. Build to the cc class you need to fit Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 This was/is a stock true/welded crank. I was there when it was true and made sure it was well past the "good" stage when I installed it. This was about pass 6 or 7 after we really got it running well. When this happened the bike was running the best it had, and 60'd it's best ever..........Bike nosed over around half track and came back to the pits vibrating so bad it would put your hands to sleep.

Whitbread Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 ^ Trying to make your own TSS 90° crank huh? Quote
