matt440rev Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 i am building a new motor for my 03 banshee right now and was wondering what i can do for cheap to make it run good. i just got a new crank (stock) today and am going to split it in half tomarrow. i was thinking about using the race logic templates for the cylinders and milling off the stock head to run race gas. i dont want to put a lot of money into this cause im just building it to trade for a rocket this summer, but i want it fast so any help would be awsome.im not a banshee builder by any means i race snow x and came across this for a good price so i took it Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 First, send the crank out to get trued and welded. If you have the proper tools to do the porting i would say go for it with the racelogic templates, if not send the cylinders out too. Call Jeff at F.A.S.T. (785)364-5325, he'll get you a good setup. Get somepipestoo, T5's or fatties are good all-around pipes and ae fairly inexpensive. Quote
matt440rev Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 i feel pretty confident in the porting work. i hogged out my stock reed cages and was going to put some boyseen reed on them, how it that for reeds?? how important is it to weld the crank?? my snowmobiles have never had a problem will my banshee?? ive been looking for some good used pipes to put on it and havent come across much. i was going to use the stock carbs and race gas to get a little more power out of it. i dont want to put to much into it, but at the same time i want it fast and right for the next guy.i know it needs some timing with the 110 gas but how much? will 4* cut it? and as for pistons, will a cast piston be alright or should i just get wiescos? thanks for the help, like i said i dont have a clue about these banshees and i figgured while i was starting fresh i would get some imput from someone that did. thanks a bunch matt Quote
dajogejr Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Trying to do something cheaply and porting it yourself with no knowledge how to do it don't belong in the same sentence... You could very easily make it worse than stock if you're not careful... Porting is an art, be prepared to trash a set of cylinders in case you screw up. Reed cages and cylinders are two, TOTALLY different things. If you're just gonna do some cleaning up...go for it. But without knowing what you're doing, messing with port timings, transfers, etc., you could have bigger problems. A wise man once said: You can go broke saving money... Don't get me wrong, I'm all for you trying something like porting on your own. however....since you specifically said "cheap, and you're trading it for a rocket soon"...you might have bitten off more than you can chew...

matt440rev Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 ok, i might just have them done for me, startin to get steered away from porting. is there anything else im missing on the rebuild?? so far i got reeds, porting, milling the head and a timing key. does that just about cover the basic stuff while its apart??if its 40 over right now i probably wont gain much going bigger will i?? wow these are a completly different animal than my sled. how would oxegenated fuel run in these with some ipone oil?? thats what i use in my sled and its good for about 8hp togather. how much difference does just cleaning them up do vs a full out dune job?? i think getting on this site might just have saved me a lot of money i do have a 600 ninja motor laying around in the garage, would it be easier to just put that in it?? or do they lose value when there like that?? matt Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Dont get a timing key.Just get a timing plate for 35$$$ Quote
