HardIzZlE Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) i heard its a super bitch to get a banshee turbo running rite but once you do they hella fast just might be too much work Edited April 30, 2007 by HardIzZlE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Whitey did a turbo bike, was FI if I remember correctly. My buddy had a turbo bike on carbs. Crazy fast, way too much work to keep it running good though...very, very picking about the jetting and tuning...5 to 10 degree change in temp and it was back to the drawing board...etc...

KlotzBanshee Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I seen one run at the dunes a few years back. it was pretty damn fast and sounded mean as hell, like no other banshee I've ever heard. But like dave said, he was tunning it about every two passes down the track. It was fast, but not any faster than any other built shee out there that day. Kind of a novelty IMO, cool though.

dajogejr Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 It was probably my buddies. He lives at the dunes.... I think back then it was on a neon green frame...was that it by chance?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I don't recall the color of it, it was at least 3 or 4 years ago. :shrug: I remember that it was a younger guy driving it, early 20's maybe. and there was a large older guy helping him tune/work on it, I assumed it was his dad....? they would wrench on it for an hour then ride for 10 min, then go back to wrenching. thing ran though...and was def unique. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitbread Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm in the process of building a turbo banshee right now. I'm going to try blow thru single carb for now and eventually will be going with EFI from Gigot Racing regardless if i get the carb tuned or not. The motor is far from stock internally though so i cant imagine a stocker would last long if boosted. I posted a thread on here about it but planet sand lets you post bigger pics so i've updated that post more http://www.planetsand.com/forums/ubbthread...ge/1#Post585248 . Hopefully within 3 weeks max it will be running. I'm trying to make it to the memorial weekend drag racing at Lapeer Dragway in MI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont live too far from lapeer. Could you give me a little more info A bunch of my buddies just told me that theres a big racing event going on out there memorial weekend. I haven't looked into the details yet myself, they all just want to see if my banshee can run 11's. Do you happen to know the lapeer dragway's website or a person to contact for official info? If i can get it running and find a set of bald tires to put on (poor man's slicks), i'll definitely be out there. Even if I don't get it turboed in time, i'll still try to take it out there with the normal setup on there.
