jtschid0910 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Long story short banshee lost compression back in fall. Planning on waiting for the weather to get warmer (Minnesota winters are a bitch) to start wrenching on it. Thinking about all the possible options for mods brings rise to multiple questions. Banshee is completely stock keep in mind. First for the top end. I have been considering either bringing my cylinders into a local place close to home, or sending them off to a place like Herr Jugs. Is porting going to be very effective with such a stock motor? Should I just look at a clean up bore? Like mentioned earlier its completely stock. As for bolt-ons I was thinking pipes and silencers (FMF Gnarlys), TORS removal, Vforce V4s, KnN pods and possibly cool head. Should I add or leave things out? Any things that wouldn't work well with the others? Things to take into consideration? Quote
Pasi S. Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 What kind of riding you do?What is your budget?... these are few things people here need to know, before they can help you. Quote
jtschid0910 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 I mostly ride open trails/dirt roads. No dunes or anything. I would like to keep the budget around a grand 1500 max Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Port, timing plate, reeds, head work, exhaust, pods should be doable. Quote
oldskool Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Porting is like $400ish Reeds are $200 Timing plate is less than $50 Cut head is under $100 Pipes, used can be had for under $300 all day Pods are around $100 for both That is around $1200 for everything, you can get it under $1000 if you shop around. Are you going to bore and go with new pistons? Add another 300 Quote
jtschid0910 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 What does the head work include? What kinda gains would I see from that? I really want to stay away from adjusting timing, is that foolish of me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
jtschid0910 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 What would +4 timing and port work do to compression? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 If you are going to get it ported, send it out soon or you'll miss part of riding season Quote
Zillaguy Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Lower it. Timing does nothing to effect static compression. Porting will lower static compression. Which is why the head needs to be cut/rechambered. To raise the compression back to an acceptable ratio. Quote
jtschid0910 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 Miss riding season? The builders have that bad of a turnover? Instead of cutting the head could I just get a cool head and swap domes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
