i have heard alot about them. i just bought a banshee that will run 6.1 in the 1/8 mile. i need to know who makes flat top pistons for the banshee and if they have a website.

 

Flattop pistons would give you too much compression with standard wedge heads. If you were running a machined chamber hemi or twisted wedge with 18-20 degree revised angles, you might be okay without having to flycut your pistons. I personally would run open chambers with a small dish on top of the pistons so the chambers are unshrouded. This in combination with a lightened timing set with shorter chain (needed for align boring) your RPM's will be incredably high. Your 1/8 mile times should drop by at least half a second. You could also pull 10 MPH faster.

Alky, I have no idea what you just said..But it seems like you know your stuff!

 

that was all made up

JK

:-)

 

Pimp, your right. I hate it when people don't know what they are talking about. Flattop pistons for a banshee[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Anyone who owns a 6.1 second banshee should know little about the banshee motor. 2 Strokes must have a dome because they have and angle that is matched to the squish angle of the head. (For reference Blasters use a 9 degree squish angle and banshees use a 12.) This angle is very important for thorough combustion and to keep hot-spots to a minimum.

To turn a 6.1, you either need a LARGE stroker or a turbo. For instance Dan Hulls personal 350 turbo bike runs a 6.03.

Shav0, Flattop pistons are for 4 stroke motors. All of the stuff in my first reply pertains to a 4 stroke motor. I have built a few quick V-8 motors. Most of what I have built myself were fords. I once had a 521CI big block Ford stroker in a 68 2WD truck. It was an animal. The 521 found its way into a 4WD mud race truck and a very healthy 429 took its spot. I just recently sold that truck. I am now building a 400+HP streetable 302 for a 79 2WD for my cousin. I have also helped build a pulling tractor engine, many stock rebuilds on various automotive engines, many, many ATV and motorcyle engines and of course BANSHEES!

 

if u don't believe it come on down here and watch us run and us southern boys will show you who is boss

 

4-strokes come with flat top pistons but dome top pistons give it more power ask anyone who knows what they are talking about. 2-strokes come with dome top pistons but flat top pistons give it more power

 

I hate to agree Alky, but they do make flat top pistons for 2-strokes.As a matter of fact some old German motorcycles had them. TSR also suplies software for running them.

 

Bubba, show me a set for a banshee. And show me how they make more power.

 

Allright, I never said anything about fit or power[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] But if you look (from a couple of years ago) MacDizzy built a Banshee with custom Wiseco flat top pistons. That's about all I know without doing a lot of research.Bubba
