Default Need help deciding.......

I am looking at a Werks B5 or Nova 21-4. I will be running it in my buggy. What would you go with and why?

Thanks for the help.

You can`t go wrong with NovaRossi, good power, fuel economy and life span.

you can not go wrong with either motor. They are both great. I myself would go for the Nova just due to name recognition. But I have seen the works run and it is a nice motor!!!

+1, especially due to longevity if taken care of correctly. Not to mention they are a beast of an engine. No question in my mind..... Nova!

i was actually deciding between those 2 a couple a weeks ago but went with ebmods js. novarossi's are good motors but if or when you have to rebuild it the parts cost so much that your better off buying new motor and they change there lineup pretty often and discontinue there old that you cant even get the parts. but if you go with the nova get the ceramic version not last years. the werks are good motors and everone likes them thats running them and plus there alot cheaper... so all boils down to what you really want and what you wanna spend. i dont think the nova will lat anylonget then the werks but never know its all in the tune and maintaining it.

I may be one of the only people to say this. I have never had luck with nova engines. I always seemed to have flame out problems with them and they didnt seem to last very long. But I have seen most people run them with no problems. But I perfer the os line of engines. I say go with the ninja
