Tactical Bacon Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 New to the Banshee scene, but talked to some engine builders and they are saying that stock cranks are wear items and if I am going to port/ make more power, I should be replacing that 20yr old worn out crankshaft. Are they really a wear item? Motor isn't ragged out, but does have some time on it for sure. I am going to have it bored and ported while I have it out. And I do have to split cases and replace seals, but the crank wasn't on my list. Maybe it should be, what do you think? Vito's 350HP seems the way to go, but not sure.

Ayesully810 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 That was good advice that you were given. Vitos 350hp? what is that. Im assuming your talking about crank shaft? Driveline performance makes great crank shafts as well at an affordable price. All assembled, welded and trued in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Screamer Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 +1 for Vitos is junk. Don't buy anything from them, listen to whoever told you to replace the crank, and enjoy your banshee.Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Bacon Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I will be looking into the Driveline crank, haven't heard of them before. Thanks. I had read where some of the people on BansheeHQ were only running Vito stuff because they thought it was the best or hadn't had any issues with their cranks. The 350HP from Vito's is their higher end standard crank, with koyo bearings, coated rod bearings, etc. Have no experience with any of the companies so looking for any pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
