forrest411 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Has anyone running Toomey T6's had the cyl's ported? If so was it worth it? My set up is Toomey T6's, Jetting 280 main 27.5 pilot, V Force 2 reed cages, shaved stock head .020, wiesco forged pistons, adj timing plate set at +4, Pro design adaptor with K&N filter (no lid), No TORS, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 i really kills the power when compared to other pipes. Youll get more out of t5s for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyRTby Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I agree with the above comment. I run T6's and my engine was ported(mods listed below). If i were to do it over again i would get T5's or even better T4's. But what happened to me was, i bought my pipes, THEN i did my motor work. I did it ass backwards. Its nice, in a way, because i still put down some nice numbers. Almost 60hp and over 36ft lbs. (check the dyno room, videos and pics of my bike posted) With different pipes and carbs i could easily jump 5-10 hp. BUT, being under 60hp i don't have to worry about upgrading my clutch to the max, which is nice to keep the budget down. Once you get into the 60-70hp range you really need to get rid of the stocker clutch and go with a direct drive lock up or a R1 clutch.

forrest411 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks for the input. I have another Banshee with the same mods except it has FMF Gold Serices Fatty's. Think the porting may be a better fit for these pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forrest411 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 LOL, what the hell? " But what happened to me was, i bought my pipes, THEN i did my motor work. I did it ass backwards." Doesnt everyone start out buying pipes, THEN go to motor work? I havent really seen many people do motor work before they buy pipes...... "If i were to do it over again i would get T5's or even better T4's" Cut T-4's were a good pipe, but the stuff out nowadays is better IMO. "BUT, being under 60hp i don't have to worry about upgrading my clutch to the max, which is nice to keep the budget down. Once you get into the 60-70hp range you really need to get rid of the stocker clutch and go with a direct drive lock up or a R1 clutch." I ran a 70HP bike and only changed 2 clutches in almost 7 years....... But to the OP, T-6's are not the best candidate for a ported motor, what type of riding are you doing?? I ride mostly a woods track. I looking for more midrange power. Any thoughts of FMF Fatty's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach45 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have rode a stock ported bike with t6s and it just seemed like the motor Couldnet rev like it wanted to.. I run t5s and just love them, I also have a buddy who has pro circuits and although I haven't ridden his bike yet. They seem to be the smoothest and deliver power everywhere. My t5s are like a light switch as far as when the power comes on Maybe start searching for pro circuits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 pro circuits are really forgiving pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyRTby Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Damn, talk about rough crowd. Never did i expect to get ridiculed on every thing i said. You guys gotta lighten up. Yes, I run T6's on a ported motor. It runs great. Could it be better with different pipes? Absolutely. Even the Toomey website can tell you that! I personally don't mind the restriction because the bike still runs great and has been very reliable FOR ME. SpecialBlend07, Unlike yourself, I had no intention on coming off as if i knew it all. I was simply sharing what I did and MY experience. Apparently, I should have made that more clear. When i originally bought my pipes i had no intentions on porting my motor. Hence "doing it ass backwards". I criticized myself.. Was it really necessary to do it again? I'm glad to hear that your 70hp and up bikes, can run a stock style clutch. But again, my bad on the wording. I meant to say.. When you start getting into that range I WOULD START thinking about getting a lock up. I only wanted to touch on the subject due to the potential unexpected cost associated with higher hp engines. Especially for those of us looking for a quality (while still on a budget) build. I personally would rather be safe than sorry.. That's why i do the little things that i do, such as; pancake bearing, billet water pump, magnetic drain plug, Tors removal, etc.. To avoid/eliminate any silly problems that COULD come up while riding. Sure i could lean the fuck out of my engine and it'll run like a raped ape, I could rebuild it after every ride too. But MYSELF, MY PERSONAL OPINION & MY WALLET would rather not rebuild a engine every season. I don't have to be an engine builder or a prick to tell you. When building an engine/bike, etc., decide what you plan on doing with the bike first. Then build/bolt on appropriately. Same rules apply with any engine build/toy. I clearly did not follow those simple steps and my build still worked out OK, FOR ME. BUT it would have been easier, more cost effective & a better all around more powerful bike if i would have done it right the first time. Unfortunately unlike some of you, i don't have a whole lot of oops money to throw around. I took a BONE stock banshee and slowly but surely made myself a very respectable bike at a reasonable cost. Sure its not best, nor the fastest. But regardless I'm happy with the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
