TURBOCHARGED BANSHEE

TURBOCHARGED BANSHEE

Is it possible to turbocharge a 2-stroke? Yes indeed, as long as the turbo is mounted after the cones to the expansion chamber exhaust. Therefore they can still allow the exhaust waves to bounce back and forth to keep fresh intake from flowing out the exhaust port. Not only was this Banshee turbocharged, it also had a fuel-injection system installed. Is this something new for 2-strokes? No, it was 19 years ago when we tested this machine. Below you can read this “Blast from the Past” as it originally appeared in the February 2000 issue of Dirt Wheels. The information still applies today.
