1badshee350racer Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 As we speak my Banshee is sitting on a Dyno Jet 118ATV they did 5 test runs so far. They killed on the gains. "in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 You wont make 60 with just boltons, and toomeys figure is high also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Seeing a dyno run in person is fun as hell. I don't want to sound like a jerk, so please don't take it that way. Just being honest...but, here goes. You're not going to get to 50, let alone 60HP with just bolt on mods. 45 to 48 is about what you're going to get, once they dial in your mains...If they have a generous dyno....you might get 50. That's actually pretty impressive. Normally, piped and air filter banshees with a few degrees of timing get around 45ish.... Bigger than 28mm carbs really won't net much of a gain since you have stock porting. One more bad point...T6 Toomey Pipes are great stock port pipes. You can do some very minor porting...and they'll still work. Once you get to a strong dune port or drag port, you'd probably actually lose HP over T5's or other pipes. With tuning, they'll probably squeeze another pony or two out.... Post up a picture of the dyno run printout when you're done!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshee350racer Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 No shit thats good to know. I'm sure its still going to halll ass when they get it dialed in. BTW what is stock HP on a Banshee ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinumjason Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I do believe 34hp is stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase@miamiatv.com Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I heard the best way to increase your hp is to run diesal fuel with a full retard timing without reed's. That way the blow back will blow out the carbs and act as a rocket. Hold on sally ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 33 to 35 is stock from everything I've seen, heard and read.... And that's rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshee350racer Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) So with everything i have done 45hp sounds about right. I remember looking at the curve and it had a huge dip at the end they said that they might be able to smooth it out but i totally understand there is know way i'm going to get 60hp or 50 for that matter. but i should feel one hell of a difference with it dialed in i hope Edited September 21, 2006 by 1badshee350racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 if all you want is numbers put some slicks on the back and those numbers will go way up. substancially less rolling resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...Csr... I was hoping these guys weren't running nobbies on the dyno.... That right there could explain a dip....they're blowing off the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshee350racer Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) My Holeshots are installed i dont have any other tires to run with i really dont care about numbers as long as its tuned correctly. In my opinion wouldnt you want to tune something AS IS i'm not going to be on the trails with slicks just a thought. Althought i have been wrong before so who knows BTW i am little new to the whole dyno thing what is blowing off the drum?????

dajogejr Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Tough call... I think you'll be fine tuning it on the dyno with holeshots on. The deal is to tune it properly with the a/f meter (air/fuel) ....the engine needs to be loaded, or not just free reving in your driveway... However, if your tires are spinning and not getting traction on the dyno (usually they use street slicks to hookup)...you may not be getting a 100% accurate dyno reading... I'd say is definately getting the load it needs to be jetted correctly...but, you could be missing a few ponies in the reading, depending on how good of traction those holeshots are getting on the dyno drum...(blowing them off or not)... Hope that helps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshee350racer Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 althought my Holeshots have about 10% left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Oh, you're fine then...that makes them "almost slicks"... Remember, a dyno is only a number...and a dyno will never pass you while riding. They are good for tuning and comparing mods...but, this dyno might tell you 48HP, the next one 38...and the last one 58.... Try not to get caught up in that number (I know, easier said than done...guilty myself)... Just be happy to ride it when it's running right!!
