Bigdram Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A buddy of mine that has had banshee's told me to sign up here, seems like the holy grail of banshee enthusiasts. So anyway I just purchased my first banshee, it's been a long time coming, I've always wanted one but just didn't have the funds to get one. So this is what I bought, feel free to comment on what mods I should do next, I've driven stock banshee's before but this one seems stupid fast. 2001 banshee itp aftermarket rims pro taper handle bars 4mm (hotrod) stroker crankrod 30mm Oko flatside carbs barnet heavy duty clutch (98 hp) engine is bored to 392cc (timing +4) boost bottle It's got stock exhaust, so obviously I know that is going to be the next mod to be done to it... but what else after that?

rg97 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Welcome! If you're new to banshees, you may not know, but do you know if its a long rod stroker? X2 on the new pipes, X2 on ditching boost bottle. But I wouldn't get a billet impeller. Heres why. When you think about the cooling, the impeller is shoving water and antifreeze through the heads, hoses and radiator. When it goes through the radiator, air flowing past the fluid cools it, and the cycle keeps going. When you get an impeller that is "high-flow" however, Its moving coolant faster through the engine, and faster through the radiator. The faster coolant is going through the radiator, the less time it has to be cooled by surrounding air, thus making your coolant warmer, or rather not as cool, and you will have a higher operating temp, which can lead to engine breakdown and/or failure. I think the reason people want a metal impeller is because the plastic one can melt. Never had it happen to me, even on the 90+ degree days I have right now. Just dont let it sit too long idling unless theres air flowing through the radiator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozer Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Haha holy shit will you (rg97) please stop giving advice/ posting about things you dont know. There have been numerous failures of the stock impeller and a billet impeller is cheap insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowlyOilBurner Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think I'm going to sell my billet impeller. It's just a fad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badbar88 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Even if a it did make your bike run warmer (it doesn't that I know of) wouldn't it be better then the stock plastic impeller melting and having your bike cook itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
