05shee Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the banshee seen and just put on my first real upgrade (pipes). However it seems that no matter how hard i try to position the right pipe it is touching on the radiator hose. Is there anything I can do that would be an easy fix that I'm just over looking. Also i was wondering if you guys could get me close with jets... FMF fatties gold series, K&N filter, removing snorkel, 1500 ft, usually 60-90*. I bought 300 mains and 290s already. Thanks. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 On my PT mids the rad house almost always touches the pipes. I tried to rig it up different ways with zip ties and such, and I got it decent. Just make sure the hose isnt starting to melt and it should be ok. As for jetting are you running a full air box, just without the snorkel? If so you should be at a 260 main 25 pilots with about 1.5 turns out on the air screw Needle with clip on the middle Those 290s and 300s are going to be too big if you still have a lid on that air box.

ASRBanshee Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 As far as the radiator hose my company puts a dent in the pipe to prevent them from touching but in your case just find a heat repelling tape and wrap the radiator hose with it so if they do touch nothing happens. Quote
05shee Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 alright thanks for the help ill pick up the tape tomorrow i forgot to add that i am also running 40:1 mix also and yes its full airbox just k&n with snorkel off Quote

dz06shee Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 i switched my hose end for end and moved that metal spring near the pipes...this is for my T5s and it don't touch the pipe... Quote
dajogejr Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 i switched my hose end for end and moved that metal spring near the pipes...this is for my T5s and it don't touch the pipe... WORD...we all do. You can also twist the hose a little so it clears better, before you tighten the hose clamp(s) down. Quote
