minishee Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 hey guys this is my fisrt post! i am looking into getting porting done, but i heard of these new cylinders and was wondering if i would be better off to go with them. any help is greatly appreciated. mini Quote
1800bigk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 It really depends on what you are looking for and how much you can spend. If you are limited to say, $500, then you may just want to go with a good port job. But if you can drop a grand then get the cheethas. If you got $1500 laying around then get the cheetah cub with 4 mil crank and then you have close to 90 hp. Quote
minishee Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) well i have been saving for a while now, and my dad has as much fun tearing it apart and putting it back together as anyone i have ever seen so i know he will help out. this i s probably really stupid, but what will the 4 mil strker do? how doesthis affect the engine. and can i make as much hp with my stock cylinders?

1800bigk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) well, a 4 mil stroker means you put a new crank inside the engine with longer stroke. Stock ported cylinders cannot come close to what the cheetahs can do. Even the best builders will tell you that stock jugs on gas with just a 4mil crank will make high 70's hp. Thats with big carbs and big exhaust. The cheetah cub 4 mil makes high 80's with stock carbs and t-5 exhaust. And the cubs have a nikasil coating and will last for a long time maybe 150+ gallons of fuel. When you rebuild the cheetahs there is no machine work involved, just drop in new pistons and thats it, no honing or boring. Edited February 18, 2005 by 1800bigk Quote
minishee Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 well for example i have been looking into patriot racing they offer a good price on the cheetah cub ported and polished with or without the stroker. is there a really big difference in power gains there? or am i stupid not to just save up and go with a stroker motor the first tiem around. i ride alot of open trails and fields along with hillclimbs. no one in my area has a stroker so what is the performance differance?

1800bigk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 pm me your email address, I want to forward you an email from patriot that I got about the differences between them. Quote

1800bigk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) Why wont they be good for regular riding? that sucks, does the power peak out to high or do they make too much power to fast? They make peak power at the same rpm's as a regular 4mil. Also the toque curve is greater than or equal to the reg +4 engine from 7k to 9500. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...pe=post&id=3084 http://www.bansheeracing.com/cub16.jpg Edited February 10, 2005 by 1800bigk Quote
PassionRE Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Can you say wheelspin beyond belief? Most well built +4 strokers alone are very hard to hook to the ground, imagine another 20hp on top of that! Quote

wesw Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 just a brain fart how would this cubs compare to your x-3 models. to an extent. i sure the cubs have more capibialities, just wondering Quote
PassionRE Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 X-3 vs. Cub?..we'll see soon enough. Capabilities where the Cubs are concerned?...well, you going to have a hell of a time reducing exhaust area on a set of Cubs if your not into drag motors. They will be able to be massaged through transfer mods somewhat. But all in all, the Cubs will be killer for sure...just not a fit all situation....Jim Quote
1800bigk Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 what is the x-3 and is it a bolt on or do I have to send my cases for trenching and what not? does it run on alky? Quote
