Cotton eyed Joe Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Personally if I were to go the forced induction route I'd choose nitrous. Then you wouldn't be going the forced induction route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 The big ol 2 stroke diesel's had turbo's on them....and those suckers ran.....I'm sure if some of those guys that built those engines were still around and could sit down and engineer a setup....I'm sure they could get a banshee turbo'd setup to work quite well and reliably. They make superchargers for carbed engines that its a box that encloses the whole carb, and air is spun directly into the carb, I think the banshee superchargers that are in the works are going on this same idea.....havent seen any info on it lately....just remember hearing about it a while back.

. Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 the only thing with a turbo is that you would have to pressurize the carbsthe charger ... my buddy works at a rebuilding plant so i could probably get one for a case of beer so that covers the espensive part what kind of charger could you get for a case of beer? how about 2 cases of beer? I could definitely use 2 nice turbo's.....hell I'd throw in an extra case or two for good measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Twink Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 A&S Racing in Michigan has made some really nice turbo banshees and he builds the best motors around so if you want to check out his bikes visit bansheeracing.com Thanks for your time Twink Enhanced Powersports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepman380 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 You can't buy a supercharger for a Banshee on account of there is not belt drive system to drive the supercharger. You can buy turbos for them but they are really hard to tune in and get perfect. I would recommend spending the money on a stroker or cheetah cylinders or something along that line to make the power.

alcoholbanshee Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Never say you can't. That is what drives the sport. There is always a way. I know of a couple bikes that run a fuel injection system that utilize a mechanical fuel pump. One is belt driven off the water pump. One is belt driven off the flywheel end of the crank. I think the only reason it has not been done yet is there really is not a small enough of a supercharger unit to be efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoholic Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 No doubt about the Cheetah engines. If you set up a Cheetah properly, it will whoop the snot out of a turbo in a short race. Now why not put a supercharger on the Cheetah? Everyone builds the turbos because its easy. Getting them to run good, on the other hand is not as easy, if you didn't design the turbo system properly.

MotulMonsta Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 My buddy and I have been at this for a while. It's still on the drawing boards but we have a few designs that we belive will work...but how to machine a small twin rotor supercharger...that's what's holding us up. There are a few blowers out there for 5hp briggs and stratton motors..but they are ungodly huge and won't fit. If you put the carbs on the intake portion of the supercharger..you don't have to worry about pressurization issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
