Motor builders

[NOS_350x]

Well, ok, ive had my shee for 2 years now, When i bought it it had/has a Duncan National kit (for those of you that dont know Duncan National kit ). I gota say the motor kicks ass, Smooth strong powerband awesome for the flattrackin i do. I make my way out to pismo ocasionaly and i can honestly say i dont think ive ever been consistantly beaten by a shee, Even most the crazy long drag bikes i can run with (There have been acouple full blown Rigid nitrous drag bikes that it wasnt evenclose but im talking about rideable bikes) But here is my question, How come it seems like there isnt much about his kit around? Its been so good for me and there is another one that races with me with the eliminator kit and his results arnt quite as good but still an awesome engine. Thes motors on the track have no problem handing it out to the 450's. Here is another question, For me it was easy my kit has everything i want (for now) and came with my bike when i bought it. As a buyer how do you decide who to go with for building an engine, porting, carbs pipes ect. Not like you can realy test out porting, and once you get someting you cant go back. I dont care who you pick but how do you decide one builder from another??

if you don`t know about hq it is trial and error. most people on here heard about or rode someones bike that had work done by a particular builder.or got their ass handed to them in a race. duncan was a big name back in the day. now there are hundreds of capable builders. on hq at the moment it is FAST AND PASSION. it just so happened i had a banshee from each builder in my garage.a brand new motor from passion was on the 1 bike. 12 port 4 mm.the thing was a beast. very nice package. with duncan you are paying for the name, duncan, paul turner ect. same motor work different builder. thousands less.on hq your questions about a set up can be answered quickly. all you gotta do is ask.

That makes alot of sence. Around here it seems like every banshee is built by Trinity. I have raced people with trinity bikes and the next week they inform me that there bike is going down to duncan. I have noticed like you said the duncan stuff is expensive. but everything works together extremely well. I would like to find a banshee with simular work from one of these other builders and see how it goes.

 

Another problem with having an engine kit that was 2-3000, is i feel like i personaly can build an engine thats as fast, but im afraid to pull things off the kit and hurt the setup i have.

I still see alot of yfz480 National built motors and they haul,One guy up my place has a yfz500 national kit (I believe) with PEP PB1 shocks, baddest 4 poke Ive ever seen. I cant wait till it warms up so I can get to practice with this guys. There are so many 2 stroke builders who are as capable as Duncan with a lower price tag and better customer service it pointless to go to them just so you can say you had Duncan build your motor. Take Jim at Passion Racing has over 150 port maps for the Banshee motor. Thats no joke and he builds with the best of them.
