Your Twin Cam 88 Can Be Much More Than A 95 Cubic Inch

[@GixxerFoo]

Would you stay with a 95 inch kit or go with the 97, 98 or even the 100 inch Sidewinder bolt on?

[@anchorsaweigh9893]

As I’ve posted before I did do the SE 95 set up on my 2002 FXDL. I did add an oil cooler. The power is decent and the motor has been unbelievably reliable. I think if I was going to upgrade again that S&S 100 Sidewinder Kit looks mean and super easy. Also fairly cheap.

[@parkeslife4323]

96" Twin Cam plus Sidewinder kit equals 110"?

[@GixxerFoo]

The price of the S&S isn't too bad, it's not as good of a deal as the SE kit but it makes some serious power.

[@GixxerFoo]

You are correct, they make one for the 96 and you can bolt on 110 inches.

[@davidoelrichs9574]

Watching your channel has caused me to spend a little bit of money. I have 2000 Heritage Soft-tail (carbureted) which started out pretty much stock. First I upgraded the cam plate with a Screamin Eagle setup and an S&S 509 cam set. To get it to start and idle a little better I re-jetted the carb and exposed the air/fuel mixture adjustment screw and adjusted that. I was somewhat happy with the results but like most Harley riders I thought I could get more out of the old girl. I then saw this video and purchased the S&S 100 kit. I had this installed by a credible Harley mechanic, he also sent the heads off for refurbishment and some porting. He also suggested installing Twin Tec ignition module and oil cooler which I have also done as well as a better air cleaner. It wasn't loud enough so put a set of Vance and Hines 2 into 2 pipes on it. With all that I'm still not very impressed with the performance. I haven't had it dyno tested, so I can't give any specifics. It starts good but I can tell a cam with a compression release would nice. Other than buying a bigger bike I'm sure what else I can do, plus my wife would kill me. I've also considered a Mikuni carb but can't handle anymore disappointment. Any Ideas?

[@GixxerFoo]

That bike well tuned should be around 100 horsepower and torque, you might go with a little more cam if you're wanting more out of it.

[@stevenfergerson1485]

I enjoyed you video on the 88". I went with S&S Sidewinder 100" with screaming eagle 254E cams, at the time of the build the fly wheels were bad . They were sent out to Dark Horse crank works . They repaired them lighten& trued them .I put the 254E cams in myself .At the time of cams I had it on the Dyno, It tuned out at 79.7 hp & 80.5 ft lb of torq . It also had Fuel injectors upgraded to the 29 degree also fueling cam plate & high volume oil pump. I also put in the screaming eagle Sprocket compensator , the Harley variable pressure plate in the clutch in prep for the 100" . I don't know the what the out put is right now as I also upgraded the ECM to the thunder Max. I scared the hell out of a 117cu road glide one night would have smoked him but broke my clutch cable . I did this build on a 2006 Dyna Streetbob . my build is about a year old .

You've got that bike done right with all the parts you got supporting the build! You got a lot left in there if you want a huge power bump by swapping over to an aftermarket cam from the SE you got.

[@bradballard2068]

@@GixxerFoo I agree with you, I've been doing this for a number of years and I have less than 6 vendors that are extremely reputable in the aftermarket world. (It fits like it should and everything I need is included in the package) so I've learned I don't mind paying the couple extra bucks for quality and service. HD upgrades can be expensive and I can't tell you how many times I talk to people that have ordered stuff that didn't give you everything you need. Point being that's how some vendors can offer it at a less price. (That's been my experience) As far as I'm concerned you rank right up there with doc Harley.

I still have my 06 Road King and of all the bikes I stated a second ago I love my 88 more then the others. I still have the 06 RK because I still LOVE the American Dream, about a month ago I traded my 2018 trike for a Honda Goldwing DCT, and my reason for the trade is because I was so tired of investment of my money into two bikes with the problem being the M8 not the 88 RK. I want to travel Long distance without the worry of a HD brake down. The RK is for small short trips around town and the GW is for long distance trips. In short and again thank you for your information that is power to customers owners of HD products, other upgrades products and last I STILL LOVE HARLEY-DAVISON MOTORCYCLES

Those B engines are awesome, the balancer system actually worked too well and caused issues with the transmission to fall between gears. They had to give it some vibration to help complete shifts. The loss is only maybe 2 horsepower at wide open throttle with balancer.

That's the best way to do it honestly, Hammer Performance does that too. Hammer's thoughts are they bore your cylinder out to the max, ride it till it's wore out, and buy some new twin cam cylinders for about $280 each. It's a huge savings over the kits just boring your factory cylinders.

I honestly think I could manage the install, but, my mechanic ability Belgians to fail the order forms like; do I need a install kit, do I need new bearing , can I use my stock cam plate and oil pump, if I buy the 100 sidewinder do I need new valve springs, should I by new heads or send them out to be reworked, which parts should be installed first. I think a video explaining this on a 96 or a 88 would be a very informative video.

[@GixxerFoo]

You can still use your stock heads with the 100 inch kit, even the stock cam if you wanted to. It just wouldn't take full advantage of the added displacement. Valve springs are really dependent on the cam you use, cam manufacturers will specify if you can run stock springs or if you need to upgrade. Just depends how aggressive the cam is, now replacing bearings is all a good idea with a build. The stock cam plates are fine, but a billet cam plate adds more support but isn't really necessary unless you really ride hard.

What would you recommend for injectors for 100 hp harley motor

[@GixxerFoo]

At 100 horse you're good with the stock injectors, once you start pushing the motor up over 110 that's when it's going to be time to start looking at a bit larger injector. Too big of an injector can do more harm than good, here's a video about injector sizing that explains more kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpLMhIGco7GZqcU

Can you put 103 jugs and pistons on the tc 88 ,and then cam swap to 510 so cam

[@GixxerFoo]

The case bore is smaller on the 88 so the drop on jugs won't fit the 88. You'd need to go with 95 inch cylinders and then a stroker crank. The 100 inch drop on kit the biggest one out there for the 88 with the stock crank.

Yup; that’s way I’m go’n - 🤠✊👍🏻👌 hd has the 4”cyls with steel liners that fit in the case spigots - they are for the 96 so you will have to hunt for pistons 4” stoke and rings for steel liners .

[@aa3nk]

There are several deals available doing the big bore kit, as of June 2022, that seem appealing. I have done the S&S 509G upgrade and am now considering whether to go with new cylinder heads or doing the bore. 97" is under $1,000 and 100" is just wee bit over that. My bike is a 2003 FLHTCI with 26,000 miles on it. I am willing to put another couple of thousand dollars into it just to increase reliability for a cross country trip. It has plenty of power and torque, for an old guy! I can do all of my own work. What do you think, new cylinder heads or the big bore kit?

1600 miles on an 03? The cam chain tensioner system is really the only draw back on the 88. Once you get a hydraulic in there you're golden. I appreciate you're support on the channel!

@@GixxerFoo Stator and overheating?

[@omarsalgado9715]

@@shizuokaBLUES As for the stator, no problem. As for the overheating, it is an issue if the bike is driven in a traffic jam, but anyway, an air cooled motor likes continuous riding, so overheating is not even a concern if air flow is constant.

[@shizuokaBLUES]

Omar Salgado well my stator melted this summer because of the insane heat and humidity (and exactly as you said -being caught in a traffic jam). But it was 18 years old and this is central Japan 🥵 so what do I expect eh? I’ve never had an oil cooled engine before because my bikes have always been Yamahas or Suzuki’s built for these brutal summers. Live and learn. Thanks for your comment. As for bike as a non-investment I agree. My investments and savings are there to pay for things like this and that’s part of the joy of life if you are blessed enough to afford it. But I will say that ....selling a made-in-Shizuoka Yamaha SR400 (single /40 year old design) for an older dyna with built-in issues WAS one of the stupider things I’ve ever done. I’ve gone from loving riding in the mountains to quietly dreading it. Will it break down YET AGAIN? Will it cost me another 1K or another 2K? What’s next -the starter? The main bearing ? The transmission bearing ? I’ve realized that riding an older Harley is a hobby and should be your second or third bike. The first one or two being Japanese or newer harleys (and you have a serious garage and tools) So I half agree with you and half can’t quite see due to the mistake I’ve made of listening to Harley fans Who won’t objectively look at their bikes (out of loyalty and ego) and only encourage others to be more like them. But live and learn and be grateful for even having a beautiful old motorcycle , a luxury in and of itself. This I Know Happy riding and cheers 🍻

[@omarsalgado9715]

@@shizuokaBLUES Such a sad thing, really. I think you bought a seriously trashed bike. I say this because I own two H-Ds, one since very brand new 2007 Sportster and a used 2005 Softail, which both have needed maintenance, one from abuse and the other from being stored almost seven years, but not tragic failures. Indeed, I can state that the abused one, the Sportster, has stood all the beating like a champ. I remember one day that I rode it for 14 continuous hours and it never hesitated. Indeed, the stator broke years later due to maintenance negligence. That's why I say you bought a very abused bike in the interior. But overall, if proper maintenance is done in time and form, the bikes are bulletproof, and though I own a couple, I'm not that of a fan, because I like other brands, including the Japanese sport bikes. I have to tell you that any bike will have its issues if abused and not maintained, including the Japanese ones, which I've seen broken down on the road. Greetings.

Awesome content man. I have a ‘06 Dyna Lowrider with 88 TC engine. I’ve done full pipes, aftermarket air cleaner, and custom tune (Powervision Dynojet). With winter coming and having 36k miles on it, I’m gonna pull the cam cover off and see what’s going on in there. I’m leaning towards a 509 cam mid-low end cam since this is my “bitch around town bike.”

I have a Early production 04 Road King custom converted to a stripped Classic. Carb motor CV 44 woods needle. SE manifold. S&S air cleaner back plate kit. 203 cams with Upgraded cam tensioner and cam plate & pump & bearings. I wanted to do heads however all the heads had too much running compression. SE ignition for cams and big bore kit. Now Harley has Factory ported heads that keep compression stock as 203 cams need to stay under 9.5 static . I feel this is a good upgrade for 88 or 95 milled motors. I really comes on around 60 mph. However t don't do much hyw driving. I don't want to have to upgrade my starter as it is sensitive to hot starts sometimes. I'm running a oil filter billet cooler which looks cool lol. Any thoughts 💬💭

You can get there with a bolt on 95 and using a Wood Cam. Depends on your year and if you're carb or fuel injection. Bump the compression to 10:1 with some mild head porting and it will bang out 100. 100 horse is a great number for Twin Cam, plenty of power and reliable.

A cam plate/high volume oil pump and a set of relatively mild S&S Easy Start cams are also part of the plan. My concern is am I going to be pushing my belt drive beyond it’s capacity?

That's an awesome package, the gear drive system is very dependent on the shaft run out being in spec, .003 or less 😬. The gear drives are awesome and worry free, expensive upfront though.

[@bodeine454]

@@GixxerFoo I would be hesitant going with gear drive cams on the twin cam 88 without upgrading to a new welded crankshaft or having the factory crankshaft trued and welded, I hear that even if the runout is within .003 that it may not stay there. I think I would feel uneasy about them on a stock crankshaft.

If the run out is within spec when it's installed l really haven't heard of many failures unless the run out just became atrocious. But by that time you've got some really serious issues.

By increasing hp and torque I should probably upgrade my clutch. Fuel Moto has a variable pressure clutch that supports 130Hp/130Tq with OEM spring. Should I try it with my original clutch first or just go ahead and do something with the clutch when I do the big bore kit and heads? What clutch upgrades should I do?
