If you dyno a cvt motor at the crank then your not dynoing the cvt now are you? If you cant dyno a quad/sled with a cvt then tell me why they make track dyno's? I guess all these guys are just wasting their time...

 

I didn't say you couldn't dyno a cvt snowmobile or quad, I said you can't compare the dyno numbers for a cvt and a standard and the right way is to dyno off the crank.

 

I would get a warrior frame it my be heavy but with all that power you are going to need some weight, and theres plunty of engine rooma 250r frame i think would be to small 4 that big engine..good luck

 

If you do the street bike motor or the sled motor go with a Banshee Frame there are more aftermarket parts for the banshee frame than a quadzilla i have a quadzilla with a R1 motor and its very fast BUT there are alot of things i would do diffrent if i could star over, Just take my advice and use a banshee frame!

 

thanks quadzilla, finally someone who has done what I am going to attempt

 

I am just curious. Has anyone ever tried to mate a snowmobile engine to a harley type transmission? Is it feasible, aside from tranny cost? Just something I have been pondering. I cant seem to find an online parts diagram, so I am not sure what it would take, but it seem that this would eliminate alot of the lost hp. Just a thought, so no bashing please, lol.

 

You could easily mod that Arctic Cat engine to over 200hp. One of my friends modified his Arctic Cat Thundercat to eventually get almost 300hp (284 I think) and a top speed of 225mph (you can do a lot with an unlimited budget). It only took a few hundred dollars in mods to get up to 220hp at the track. After that is when he got totally speed hungry and spent close to $3000 on mods.

 

beech is that banshee really a 580? if so can I get a dyno copy of it?

 

Unless your going full pin.

 

never been dynoed. Sorry.

Dennis packard did the harley tranny on a banshee crank case. the project never completed so im sure it had its problems
