Turbo Banshee's


Recommended Posts

Update:

 

I've done some minor renevations to some of the wiring and I'm also in the middle of changing the huge rectifier along with the trailtech regulator for a nice compact unit from a brand new cbr600rr. It will fit much nicer and has some cooling fins. This way the mess underneath the front plastics will be gone.... just a battery and 2 relays. for now.

 

As for it running and riding.... it does. I got my new tires mounted on the hypers and shee's been on the ground for a while now. I've been trying to get a tune that works well, But up until I got a new timing light I didn't know exactly where the timing actually was. So I found a light that will skip pulses for high rpm. applications. Now the megasquirt and the bike's timing are matched. This is why I'm looking for a stock banshee's timing map, so I can copy the lower half to my table. Then when I have the timing table dialed in, the only thing left to do is tune the fuel maps and AFR targets (AFR=air>fuel ratio). The megasquirt uses the O2 sensor to keep the motor running however I tell it to by using the AFR table.

 

This is where I'm at right now. If anyone can get me a copy of the timing table out of there banshee CDI I would be inclided to give a favor of your choice.

One of the problems I ran into with the megasquirt was after making changes to the AFR tables while on a dyno and seeing gains from these changes...then after each dyno pull the bike would need to be turned off, then on, to be back to a good idling state and be able to make more changes or another pull. Have you ran into anything like this? This also happens when out racing...the bike would need to be shut off then on.

 

Have others ran into this problem?

Are you on the MSEFI forum? Are you using a fast idle valve? or an IAC? I'm not using either. The TB's I'm using have an air bleed screw for idle levels. I would prsume that you may have the IAC stepper map a bit too low for the higher heat ranges. Whaen you get it hot and it doesn't idle... you turn off the key and back on which will set the fast idle open or your IAC to cranking position (which is about 70-90% open) maybe this is the reason why it works for you.

The code I'm using now has signifigent changes from older stuff. It the new 2.873 code that I'm using on the MS2 v.3 platform. You may want to move up to a newer code for more options on your idle circuits. I've found over the last 3 years of dealing with the megasquirt that the more you know about the operating systems and how they affect your engine then the less you blame on mega and the easier it is to find the real solution to your problem. If you post it on the msefi forum they will usually get back to you in a day or so with a good place to start looking. But as I've found out several times..... It's ALL up to you!

I've had little help on my conquest because nobody is using the shit I am and noone knows shit about an EFI 2 stroke or MAF with mega for that matter. And the people who do like andy whittle aren't really on the forum anymore because he's already finished all his problems and is probably out there enjoying his EFI 780cc seadoo, while I'm ripping chunks out of my head trying to figure out what he already went through. The trick is to do again and again to get the right outcome and then post it for the next guy to do. I'm sure I won't be the last to efi turbo a banshee. But my goal has been from the beginning to pave the way for many for to do what I'm doing. Though I like to have things that most people don't.... I would like to go out riding with a fellow HQ member that has a turbo banshee one day.

 

Is anyone up for the challenge?
