How much more power/torque does this kit add and is it reliable?

 

I think it puts out 63 rwhp and and several people have it and say it's very reliable.

 

RaptorRider, I would contact 14mins. or one of the other guys from this forum that has a 686 kit in their Raptor.

 

That sounds sweet! Thats quite a power increase over stock. I'd love to ride a Raptor that had a 63 hp kit on it. How the he// do you keep the front end on the ground?

 

I have a trinity 686 Raptor. It ran really well (would run with ported and piped banshee's)(I have one of those to) til the head gasket blew.
It's now preasurizing the cooling system and blowing the coolant out of the cooling system. Going to tear it down this weekend to replace the head gasket.

Hey thanks alot guys i really appreciate it. I think I will contact 14mins

 

Trinity's 686 is sweet and very rideable. Well worth the money. We are dynoing this weekend, we will post. You will not be dissapointed. I am a tightwad and i am real happy with the gains. Harry is the man. They get it done. Sparks is good also, but slow. I really would not consider anyone other than trinity. They have it figured out. Would you rather have it from someone that has done 100's or a shop doing it for the first time? GREAT POWER, the ds's go nuts with the $$$$$ trying to keep up.

 

I was considering the Trinity 727 since I may end up doing the '02 tranny upgrade at some point in the future. I figured while I had everything apart, I might as well go for it. And the difference between the 727 and the 686 is only $300 if you do the tear down and reassembly yourself (with Trinity boring the cases and installing the sleeve). Any opinions on the reliability of the Trinity 727 while we're on the topic?

 

FourStrokeFan,

Just viewed this post and thought I would reply. I don't know about reliablity with the 727, but I know Trinity has invested alot of time and research on this motor. Changes have been made a couple times to make this motor really scream.

I should have my 727 back shortly and will provide a full ride report and dyno runs, shortly after break-in.

Regarding the price, look a little deeper then $300 more then a 686. Yes, that is an advertised price, but there are couple of things to consider. #1, the connecting rod. It should be replaced with a Carillo. Trinity will suggest this as well. Trust me when I say, that when a rod breaks, it's not a pretty picture. I know, it happened to mine!

#2, carbs. If you can't afford the carbs, you might as well go with the 686. The big 727 needs more then the stockers can provide. The 35mm FCR's are currently on back order and the price has gone up as well. The other option would be to wait on the fuel injection that is being developed (when it will be ready I don't know) BUT, that will cost you BIG BUCKS$$$, like $2000.- $2500, OUCH.

There are other options as well with the 727. You can go with bigger valves, which will cost you atleast $100 each. The options just go and go and go.

If your gonna have a big motor built (727) you might as well do it right. If you want extremely good power in a very reliable package and for a good price, go with the 686. You have options on the 686 as well, but can save a good sum of money, if cost is a factor for you!
