snowmobile jug on banshee motor

[axlracing]

hey i dont know all the facts here because i am having truble finding the guy who did this but i spoke to one of his old freinds that helped him build this banshee. What he told me is he had this banshee with a stock bottom end and there is some snowmobile engine jug that bolts right on i believe he said he thought it was a 558 or 588???? but apearently this quad moved pretty good with that jug. does anyone have any idea what sled this came from i think it was an older sled thanks.

you might be thinking of a Rotax Cranker.. But its far from being a "Bolt on" setup.

No shit there. They are called crankensteins

he said there was no modifications litteraly bolted right up ?

I dont know how thats possible since the bolt pattern for a rotax topend is not the same. Someone is either pulling your leg, or you did not fully understand what they were trying to tell you. It may bolt right up to a set of matoon machined cases for a rotax topend, but the rotax topend will not bolt up to a stock set of cases.

perhaps those are TREX cylinders, not rotax?

well if it would be a 488 it could be a yamaha exiter top end??? would make sence and ide beileve it would work ..maybe .. i remeber my freends dad rebuilt a an old yamaha trail 250 dirt bike using a either the top end of a bravo or just the piston but ey it could work with the right stroke and rod lenght

Them look like the la sleeve cylinders or pro-x cylinders that CT racing used to do.

That's not a snowmobile top end. Those cylinders were made by Superior Sleeve. As far as I know they are not made anymore, and they weren't all that great performance-wise when they were made. :geek:

yeah, that looks like a banshee out of frame even. So they are just aftermarket banshee cylinders.

Those are actually Kawasaki 550 jet ski cylinders......they look a lot like Superior sleeve cylinders........They are not just bolt on.....but close. They never ran all that great, I have seen a couple drag bikes with this setup many years ago. Back in the day, they were an option.....but with all the aftermarket cylinders out......The question would be .......Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i dont know just seemed to easy to be tru dude swears that he did not buy after market jug Just pulled on off a old yamaha sled. Anyway the guy i know that helped him build it said after it was done they took it out and hit the nos with it and sold it instantly said it was way too fast :smile: :yelrotflmao:
