Can anyone confirm the diameter/pitch on a P5 shaft. I was having a hard time getting the flywheel on and noticed two threads on the shaft are rolled a bit. Can't find a file or thread file to clean it up, so was going to see if I can get a die nut tomorrow.
To me it looks like 7mm x 0.9 <--- not a typical pitch.

EDIT: so I found a file a file at work and just cleaned up the threads. What a PITA! Weird way for the threads to be rolled - from the case to the end of the shaft. Must of been missed during QA.
So I got everything installed and started break-in today...wow the LSN was really set rich. Had to lean a bit to get around 200 while on the box. This is my first nitro break in. Looking forward to getting the P5 on the track.

I saw video on Clockworks website about placing a washer in front of the front bearing press because of the protrusion of the outer race, I also use the hudy bearing tool, so I went today and bought a hardened steel washer for this purpose. I am glad I can use the same bearings for both motors, less parts for me to keep in the box for sure. Thanks guys I appreciate all the help. On a side note I have just recently switched to these motors from running OS, and damn the BT5 is smoothe, I couldn't believe the way the power came on and how much usable torque I had especially in the low rpm range, I am finding I am need to use about half the amount of trigger movement with similar clutch setup on my BT5 as I did with my OS motors. Not saying by any means that OS makes a bad motor, I think the BT5 just suits my driving style better. Also I am using a werks 2057 pipe which if I remember correctly is a mid/top end style pipe, I could be wrong on this, but so far mileage has been good, the motor has less than a gallon on it at this point and in my first race had no problem making an 8 minute fuel stop with this combo. I do plan on buying the NOVA pipe at some point but for now this combo is really damn good.

I just installed a 9901 ss with a 41001 to my Nova 28-5 any ideas how it will perform compared to a 9886?

first practice day with a NovaRossi BTTA and 096 pipe. hands down the smoothest break in and tune I've experienced. Smoother than the OS speed I had a while back. 2 thumbs up.

If it's a OFNA 086 I would run that.

The JP-3 is very similar to the 9901 regarding performance but the mileage is poor

.. and bolt a very short header on the 086 to get INSANE power

Could u run a p5 safely without using the Venturi? Seems like that engine runs better with maximum airflow. I had the white one but choked the engine and wouldn't tune.

Back in the day when restrictors first showed up when I fell in love with Rb's and the p5 especially. I removed the insert. A few years ago I was talking to Mr. Hottinger the nova guy and he told me the p5's like lots of air so don't run anything small in it. If I remember correctly the p5 ran awesome without one now I run a 7.5 but yeah no insert runs great no doubt.

+1 The RB s7, SBK-01, and the first p5's ran great with no restrictors back in the day. You wont get the fuel milage that everyone else is getting, so I would start with the 8 and go from there.

Cleaned some crud off it and its a 086 . Seems to have the header it comes with . So I will give it a try . Thanks

I have been looking for a Piston and Sleeve for a Virtus Engine. I cant find them anywhere? Is it similar with other nova engines?

a Bonito Piston sleeve is the same...except the head button wont be compatible...but other then that the Piston/sleeve should slide right on....
