teamblumkin Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have a 06 banshee, had a rod bearing go bad, broke a few peices off the rod and sent it up through the cylinder. So I want to buy a new crank, obviously pistons and run a cool head, had it bored 60 over now. It is not ported or anything, and really don't want to go that route. Just have pipes and a adjustable timing plate. Was just wondering what the deal was with the superstock pistons? So any suggestions for a crank, piston, coolhead and dome size combintation that would work the best while having the timing plate and keeping it on pump gas ,and give me the most power would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Zillaguy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Go 4mil long rod, cut domes, and ported for the 4 mil... Its a very reliable pump gas set-up... The Vitos SS pistons mimic a raised exhaust port ( port job) Vince claims +8hp with his pistons... But, I don't know anyone who has used them...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The SS pistons do exactly what they claim. Great bolt-on mod for quick easy upgrade. You won't get the better bottom end power of a port job. But for someone with very little upgrades, it's a good steping stone to power. You will have to make jetting changes and it's better to learn about those adjustments on a basic set-up. Otherwise you might trash nice ported cylinders before the jetting learning curve is complete. SS pistons really liven up a motor with pipes and +4 timing.

teamblumkin Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I wanted to do a 4mil, but I really don't want to port my cylinders, and have to go through all that, so I was just wondering, the superstock pistons will work with a stock length crank? And with that setup with the timing plate, what about the cool head domes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 why not port them? that's the best bang for the buck I would say.. the SS pistons will work with a stock crank and timing plate and the right coolhead domes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamblumkin Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Any idea what size domes? But if I was to port it, any info on any places to get it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 you need to contact a builder and have them go over your options. there are a few sponsors here I hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamblumkin Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I was looking into using a vitos 4mil crank, what's the differnece between a 110mm and the long rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I was looking into using a vitos 4mil crank, what's the differnece between a 110mm and the long rod? The length of the rod. A longer rod puts less side load on the piston skirts. It is for a better reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 long rod you need either stroker pistons or blaster pistons and 110 rod you can use std type pistons. most prefer the 115 due to less side load but its not a huge difference. plenty of people run the 110 rod. porting however will be different for each so contacting the builder and get on the same page...

jbooker82 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) I would still throw in a 4mill long rod crank even if you do not have it ported. Might as well since the crank needs replaced and if your going with a new one get a Genuine Hot Rods 4mill crank from FAST. They have them on their site for $435, vs a vito's knock off for the same price. Look up "Wang Crankshaft" on here and see what you think. http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=78 Edited August 24, 2013 by jbooker82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory88 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I just installed thee ss pistons. They are bad azz, banshee way more powerful than b4 my rebuild. Still need to re jet and do the timing plate mod. Sent from my SCH-R760X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO RIDE IT WITHOUT RE-JETTING! It will burn down and trash the pistons and you'll end up being one of those people who question the piston quality. You GOTTA jet it! Once you do it will make even MORE power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
