NickisGod Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 chariot, you should realy provide more pictures of your product and how it installs, us HQer's like to see how and if it works before deciding they want to buy it. Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 A small bolt / drain plug would be nice so you have an ez drain cover. it looks like it has a drain bolt to me Quote
jbooker82 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 it looks like it has a drain bolt to me Yea I see it now. It was hard to tell on my black berry. If I could see a pic of the back side of the cover plate I would really consider buying one, even though I already have a prodesign impeller. Quote
jbooker82 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 I think there are a couple other folks out there that are making the smae thing..... If I recall, Trinity even has something like that (not sure if it's on the site or not). Do you have any links to them. I was thinking about trying one out. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 I have heard of actually moving the coolant too fast. it wont pick up the heat and have enough dwell time in rad to disperse it. Not saying that this is what you r doing just asking if this is or can be an issue in a banshee? I think its a gret product none the less and the cover is nice as well I will def be picking one up . Actually been waiting for it since I seen post about one coming soon. Do you guys plan on making a head? One that diverts water down into the cylinders would be awsome. I saw a add on for a pro design one but have heard very little about it Our head does divert water into the water jackets and around the exhaust. Pro design does not so you would need to purchase the new cover for the pro design head which some places make. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 What does the back of the water pump cover look like? What makes the waterpump work is the housing that it sits in. So if your water pump cover doent match the aluminum clutch cover then it wouldn't really be worth it. All it will do is spin the coolant in the clutch cover instead of forcing it up into the head. The impeller is 50% deeper which is 1/4". The cover is 1/4" deeper and is the exact shape as the case it covers (the 1/4" recess). Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Looks like it has more fins on it to transfer the water faster than other impellers especially the stock impeller. It has the same design and number of fins as pro design impellers which everyone copies. They are jus tdeeper. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 If I were not making my own, I would probably buy one just to be diffferent, if nothing else...... It's definitely $100 cool. I am curious as to what the numbers are behind the increased flow, and how much of a cooling difference it makes. :geek: There is no way to give exact numbers for improvement. Like with eveything elso on a banshee there are many variables which come into play. It definitely works and works very well but will work to different extents on each bike. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 wow that things big. does it even fit in the water pump housing? You need 3/4" recess in your outer cover for it to fit perfectly. Most aftermarket water pump covers are at least that deep. If you use your stock cover then you will have about 1/8" gap when you bolt your outer cover on. Not really a problem because there is nothing to seal in there. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 It looks like it has an extended cover. The cover needs to continue the contours of the water pump housing in order for the pump to operate efficiently, other wise it will just cavitate / aireate the coolant. It continures the contours of the water pump housing. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 A small bolt / drain plug would be nice so you have an ez drain cover. It has a plug on the bottom of the cover facing down. I put it here so I could have 1/4" of material to thread into. Quote
Chariot Performance Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 chariot, you should realy provide more pictures of your product and how it installs, us HQer's like to see how and if it works before deciding they want to buy it. I am not sure how I can provide any more informative pictures. It installs just like a regular impeller. The only difference is you put the cover on which we provide. I will incorporate answers to these questions in the listing. You guys are always helpful with regard to what we miss both on design and information. Thanks Quote

FireHead Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 There is no way to give exact numbers for improvement. Like with eveything elso on a banshee there are many variables which come into play. It definitely works and works very well but will work to different extents on each bike. I was thinking somewhere along the lines as a tested example for advertisement purposes...... Example: Take a stock bike, with a stock pump, and measure head and rad. out temps. Then you ran repeat the process with a PD pump and your pump. Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Looks great for sure. Im interested no doubts. Good job. :thumbsup: Quote
