Trinity Desert motor

[BigG]

Are the trinity set-ups good for desert racing or just drag. Would CT build a better Baja Motor? Theres alot of engine builders on here that probably understand the functionality of these "stage" porting jobs than I do. I'm lookin for durability and lifespan. Oh yeah this is for a Banshee.

And how foar up do you go with a desert motor? 400cc, 500cc? Whats to high before you loose reliability?

[$evy]

what kind of desert riding? like trails or more like drag racing sand duning?

you have a wide variety of motor sizes to choose from....

[BigG]

Like Baja racing. long distance trail riding. Cross Country, that kind a thing. What do you think you would limit motor size to?

I would build a 4mm PV cheetah, thats just my opinion. Not from trinity or CT though.

[BigG]

I hear alot of that and I dont know about those companies reputations so I'm fine with going else where but those are the only places I've heard of. Sooo where do I get a 4mm PV cheetah if I don't go to trinity or CT? Also what cc size is a 4mm PV cheetah? Thanks guys it helps to get some opinions before dropping the cash!

CC depends on what bore your purchase, I believe they have 68mm, 72mm, a 74.5mm, and new bigger bore. I'm not sure of the 72mm or the new biggest one, Im a Honda guy. The 68mm ones are older but I think you can still get all the older castings. You could do a stock cylinder 4mm but the cheetah would be nice for added CC and the PV's for a solid band. The 4mm crank is a tough bastard too, well proven. I suppose Trinity would be ok if your not looking for the absolute max drag setup, I just dont care for them and dont like to send any business thier way. They are the easiest place to get a cheetah. You could probably PM Calvin Pollet on PS or start a thread and obtain some more information about the Cheetahs and availiability, he makes them. Eviltwin on here might have some more info for you but I dont know, the cheetahs arent sold everywhere the cub is.

[BigG]

Ok, so if I went with the 72 mm, is that in the 400's? And what is PS?

[BigG]

I actually live blocks from trinity ironically but have never used them for anything. Did you have a bad experience cuz for me obviously the convience factor is there but I love my Banshee more than convience so I'll drive somewhere else to get it right. What's up with CT? are they really bad to?

yeah nick pretty much summed it up, regardless of what combo you choose you would be best off with some type of 4 mill setup . some of the nice things about the cheetahs is yo u have more cooling capacity ,more transfer and exhaust area ,nikasil liners and a much improved design over OEM jugs,also keep in mind the new 421 cubs are not known for their lowend so that would be a poor option but the oold school cheetahs might be the ticket if you got the money especially the powervalved ones$$ , cubs are much more popular nowadays and availability of the bigger cheetahs wil lbe a a bit harder to find . dont forget the baja suspension ,setup is more important than horsepower
