trinity stage IV kit

[darius]

hi, i'm new to the forum. i was just wondering if anyone here has the trinity stage IV kit on their banshee, and if they could possibley tell me the horse power increase. i was thinking about purchasing one for mine. thanks!

[darius]

Anybody?

well i personally don't like trinity, but what is included in their stage 4 kit and what does it cost?

[Wallrat]

From their website:

 

This kit includes:

Stage IV Exhaust System

Stage IV Porting

Cylinder Head Mod

Gasket Kit

35mm Carburetor Kit

Wiseco Piston Kit

 

Is it worth the $1982 price tag? Not in a million years. Aside from their pipes, trinity has only impressed me with their ability to charge way too much money and actually get it! If you didn't go trinity, here's what it would cost you:

 

Pipes - $600

porting - $300

shaved head - $50 tops

gasket kit - $20

35mm carbs - $140 on ebay or $380 new

intakes and filters - $170 (w/ billet intakes)

piston kit - $130

 

Total: $1410 - $1650

 

Depending on the porting, HP would prolly be somewhere in the 50's.

I agree with wallrat, trinity is way over priced when you can get the same/better parts and work done for a lot cheaper.

I paid 2300 dollars from F.A.S.T racing and got a whole setup for the 421 cub motor so for another 400 bucks you could ge that instead of crappy trinity.

well i'm really looking to add a good amount of HP to my banshee, i'd like to be able to easily beat my friends modded trx450r. any suggestions?

[Wallrat]

What kinda riding and what's your price limit?

[cdwood37]

Get a set of t-5's a coolhead and v-force3 reeds and a timing advance plate, i think you should smoke that honda piece of junk to top it off get a decent port job and tear him up. Call Jeff, FASTOYS is his name on here he can hook you up for an awesome price, no honda will ever touch you.

Terrain plays a big part. If you're just drag racing on flat ground then go w/ motor mods and ignore the suspension. If you're riding on anything else, I'd definately consider upgrading the suspension even if it means not tapping into some of the potential on the engine. Its not very difficult or expensive to build a shee that will walk all over all but the knarliest of 450's in a drag. So I ask again, what kind of terrain? Any mud/water involved? What's he got done to his 450 (if you know)? What do you have done to your shee already (if anything)?
