Where can I find some information on putting rotax cylinders on a banshee motor?

Where can I find some information on putting a full rotax engine in a banshee frame?

I'm looking for a reliable 130-150 RWHP, on pump or race gas, carbureted. A turbo is an alternative, but I'm looking into the rotax option as well.

Off topic here scoob, but I read what you posted on the bombardierds350 site regarding the atving.com forums.

I find it bothersome that you would badmouth this forum and say that you would not participate here, and yet here you are.

I'd sure like to know why you would do something like that...

You sure lost a lot of credibility with me.

That's all I gotta say.

I have been harassed repeatedly by moderators for no real reason and threatened to have my posting privileges revoked. I've had many posts & topics deleted for no real reason. If you new the whole story you wouldn't have posted what you just did.

I've seen several guys at Little Sahara running Rotax engines, I'd make a trip out there and talk to some of them, unfortunately to do that, you'll probably have to wait till spring...

Scooby-
I don't speak from personal experience, but I've heard nothing but bad things about the turbo. As far as the Rotax complete motor, I've also heard nothing but negatives, ie. jacksahfts and clutch difficult to set-up and align, clutch impedes riding position drastically, etc. I would only try it if I lived in a region where snowmobiles and snowmobile mechanics are commonplace.

The Rotax cylinders and crank, however, rip. I've got a set of Arctic Cat 590cc cylinders and crank on my banshee from an old el tigre and plan on redoing the motor with the Rotax 670 cylinders/ crank. As far as more info, try talking to Rudy Kurtz at Port Magic in CA. He runs one in the ASDA series with great success, but I've been told by the guy who built my bike that Sharp Tool and Dye in Utah did the conversion for his bike.
If you find more info on who does these motors, let me know.
