trickedcarbine Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) There was a cobbled together set up that I got the displeasure of sorting out. In the end it ran really well with a Dyna pulling the timing out but it had to be flashed like 6 times to make sure it ran the tune you last uploaded. It had a 12 volt Milwaukee battery that seemed to do well so it didn't have a bunch of weight. Fuel was managed with a NX pump and all the rest o the components were sourced through NX as well. Originally it was a boon dockers dry nitrous kit that some one tried make a wet kit.

C16 in the main tank. The guy had a really cool tank from Clark. It had two petcock mounts. The one on the left was a dual pinguel, the one on the right fed the pump for the nitrous set up. How are you switching it? There are a lot of handy micro switches that work in the stock thumb throttle housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Also, don't waste the time on those gimmic type plugs from zex. Get some regular plugs and play with the gap and heat range. Really watch the strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think you need to spend some time reading, studying, and reading some more. There are some very in depth write ups on the net that can and will steer you in the right direction. At this point you are asking blanket questions that show you have done little research and are just asking people to spoon feed you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I never got the whole fixation with nitrous and Banshees. I have a dual system on my race car. (Done prior to progressive systems) It's a 100 shot in second gear, a 200 shot in third gear and both in forth for 300. But a banshee is a different animal. At the push of a button your entire set-up becomes wrong. Wrong gearing, wrong tire choice, wrong timing, wrong swingarm length. If you have the bike set-up perfect for the use of nitrous......then it's all wrong without it. For the cost of a nitrous kit, you could buy a much bigger and better motor and make big power all the time without a bottle and have a combo that works all the time. Besides, as with every form of racing.......if you beat a guy and use nitrous to do it......there is no glory because he will dismiss the loss because you ran a bottle.

In your case why dont you build a bigger engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
