sheefreak Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 Is this possible, and would I have to run 110 or could I get away w/mixed? Performed a search and didn't find exactly what I wanted. And would it be ok to go +4 on the timing w/this combination? Mods in sig. Quote
NEVER SATISFIED Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 that crank wont last.. get it welded and trued.. you will need to run race gas even if you dont advance the timing.. one you put it on check your compression if its higher then 155-160.. race gas is needed!... Quote
sheefreak Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 What would be a safe size to go w/ a stock crank, I don't mind running race fuel. And would it be safe to run 110 pump gas like you see at some gas stations, or should I look into VP fuel or something like that? Quote
NEVER SATISFIED Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) 110 pump gas?.. where you find that at... i have 19cc domes on stock crank no timing advance.. the timing doesnt do with the crank.. but it does affect runnin pump or race.. depending on your elevation i would run 19cc thats borderline pump / race depending on your elevation.. i run straight race gas at 500 above sea level but i can run 50/50 pump race... i have a timing plate i need to add so i just keep my motor on straight 115 so it gets used to it.. besides race gas has lead and sheeeee's love lead!!

sheefreak Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 I can get 110 at two gas stations in town, and they have a pump at Dunelands at Silver lake, but don't know exactly what it is. Quote

NEVER SATISFIED Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 . . . octane boost.. .. is this cuz your just trying to save money. and all octane boost gets you over 100... DONT RUN OCTANE BOOST IN A BANSHEEE!!! PERIOD. if it were that easy you wouldnt see drag shees running 115 and 120 octane .. instead they would run octane boost.. Quote
sheefreak Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 Were you running an aftermarket crank w/18cc domes? Quote
wayfst Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 ya, just a stock crank. i had 165 psi at 4500-5000 ft. so whatever that is at glamis ca. at the time i also ran stock piston and a stock clutch. your clutch is going to slip before you twist your crank. i've put alot of stress on a stock crank and have never see one twist.

PERIOD. if it were that easy you wouldnt see drag shees running 115 and 120 octane .. instead they would run octane boost.. 362118[/snapback] what are you the race fuel salesman? so what will happen to my banshee, that hasn't happened in the last 3 years, if i use octane booster? will it burn down, detonate, melt a plug, change the color of my plastic, throw my tires out of balance, bend my handlebars, make me ride naked in the rain, forget where i park my bike, lose my car keys, eat bad food, make me go on and on to some guy on the internet who has a thing about race fuel. a banshee motor is much like all 2 stroke motors, a piston, a cylinder, a carb, a crank, and some other words that start with the letter c. it dosen't care if it's chevron gas or micky 120 race fuel, the fuel just has to do the job it was mixed for. drag racer have a very short distance to decide the out come, they are looking for max out put, not longevity. if there bike blows up at the end of the day, but they won, thats cool. i just need enough to stablize the fuel, so when i push the button it doesn't detonate. now my advantage is i ride at elevation, this gives me a larger safety window as far as compression. i've ran 110 race gas and av gas, i wasn't impressed. so use whatever you like and leave the cap lock button alone.
