I have always wanted to put a pretty hot Merc V6 in a small car. Would definitely be badass. Even if it wasn't that fast, it would sound AMAZING!

Kinda like this Volvo with the 'Rude....

Whatever happened to that Merc powered lay down trike deal that John Grove built years ago? I remember he crashed it in his yard early on. LOL

Last I heard he sent it out to some outboard builder to be rebuilt and was changing some tranny shit while he fixed the frame. I dont think he ever put it back together after that.

I tried to load some video of the purple bike(wife's bike) but it's not letting me I'll have to try when I get home. I'll see if I can dig up some more pics.

In the meantime..

I was just watching this video and I realized I need a girl like this in my life when she says "let me get the torque specs!". Lucky I'm single so I can still go out and find one!

It's all good until you're in a bind out in BFE and she calls you a knucklehead for not packing the service manual to know the specs. Then you'll have a blowup over not knowing torque specs. 🤣

That!!
Is pure bassery!😧😧

What kind of power does something like that make? As a banshee owner, I can’t quite wrap my mind around it🤷‍♂️

And where’s our pal @OCMerrill ?
I’m sure he’d love this!😎😇

Stock bore stock stroke banshee motor. 126rwhp at about 18psi of boost. The nitrous was mainly used out of the hole to get the turbo to spool quicker then pulled out with the timer.

So..... from swapped a RZ350? That is where Yamaha got the engine from for the Banshee.

The engine cases are pretty much the same as the RD but the cylinders are different. So, yes the banshee motor is based off the RD, but yet not the same.

The bike pictured actually has aftermarket cheetah cub(CP Industries) cylinders on it.

Couple of sleds I used to build engines and crew for a long time ago.

First is an 800 triple, was a 205 HP package back in the day.

031002BE-B5E1-4D74-8AC7-6ACDD9A4616B.jpeg


Second was an 800 4-cyl we made by cutting two 3-cylinder cases and splicing them. Lotta work, but made 220 HP and sounded absolutely awesome doing it. There wasn’t another sled in the pits at that time that sounded like it. And rev! Man it sounded good.

7FF0AD99-079C-4B4F-86B1-DD4E757FA087.jpeg


Both sleds ran 5.30-5.50 eighth-mile in the 130’s on ice.

It wasn’t the best performing lube and fuel, but Cam 2 and Klotz is a smell etched in my brain forever.

Amsoil 100:1 and VP made power and parts looked good, and still smelled good, but not that candy smell of the Klotz & Cam 2.

I ported some pavement running Banshees that were gnarly. The best was with RZ 350 cyls on Banshee case.

I started punching my RZ 350 cylinders to 440 cc and someone had to have them before I finished them. That would have been a fun project. It was set up to be EFI with electronically controlled power valve.

Pretty sure that would have been the RD350 if memory serves.

Well the RD350 was put of production 12 years before the banshee came about however the RZ350 was only 2 years prior. Everything I have read is almost all parts are interchangeable from a RZ350 to a banshee.

PSI...... there’s a name I’d like to forget. Bruce TOTALLY fucked us on his way out!

@JUSTWANNARACE still has a drag bike I believe that I sold a motor to a guy for. It was originally a piston port deal (600xcr base as I recall) that Bruce grafted reed cages into. It’s a cool piece! We had several of his motors, including a couple late rendition 1200 and 1500. Ran hard, hard on parts!

You know Dan Dunnigan by chance? (He passed away I think) always ran Crank Shop stuff with billet cylinders back near you on the ice.

Let’s not also forget the RD350/400s were also air cooled. The later RZ350/500s were water cooled.

Agreed..
Was only saying the RD because that's what the RZ was based off of. Most parts of both are interchangeable. Cyls are the main difference. The only real thing the changed from the RD/RZ to the banshee is they eventually blocked off where the speedo cable goes into the cases.

The sky is the limit on what you can do with a banshee motor these days.

Might just be how you wrote everything, but the RD and RZ 350s are very different beasts. Outside of a common layout and general footprint, there’s not a ton of crossover.

Now the RZ350 and the banshee engine are much closer. Tons of crossover parts there. Major differences are the RZ has electronic power valves in the jugs, and a different head. You can swap the crank and rods between the two as well, but they’re not interchangeable with the RD.
