Spy pics of the new Nova engine. Looks like magnesium head and funny, the standup fins are becomming very popular, more brands are working on them.

Roelof, looks like Lambertos car it seems.

It was shared by Collari on his FB page but I do not believe it is Collari his car. On the other hand most Italian topdrivers are acting like a family so who knows if he is involved.

Interesting detail, the guy wrenching on the engine is Andrea Rossi, the guy behind the Sirio brand.

Hmm... then I wonder perhaps if Lamberto provided and built a car for testing... kinda excited to see what evolves from the brand?

Keep in mind half Italy is running Infinity because people like Collari, Balestri and other big Italian names run it, and indeed Collari does build many cars to sell through his shop.
But who knows if Kenji is a background sponsor of the Nova project...... (I do not think so)

Is Novarossi still in business? What is their web site? I have been out for 15 years. Lost connection to the hobby. Just interesting. Not planing to come back, I have other hobby lined up

Novarossi closed down but it looks like some of there previous employees are starting another company called Nova.

Does anybody have an exploded view of a Mito. 12 and/or the Keep-on .12? thanks.

Also great to see the new Nova company, they have a facebook page and a website under construction.

As I did mention it one or 2 pages back, just use google with the engine model name and add as extra words PDF and/or manual. High chance you will find something.....

Got an older JP Racing Novarossi 3.5 (.21) in a Mugen MBX4-XR I've been putting back together and I have a couple questions.

-How do I identify the model of these? It says 2000 3.5 on one side and NOVA 3.5 on the other side of the case. Case is dark grey with a purple anodized head with the Rossi logo, JP Logo, and the word 'RACE' on it. I'll try to post photos soon, as of typing this I still need another post to allow me to post pics.

-Anyone know the base carb screw settings?

oops just realized this was the on-road section,

If that head is 50mm in diameter it will be an onroad engine.

sent you a pm

No information to share with the forum?

Yup it's 50mm. I assume a bigger head would be for offroad to deal with the added heat? Bought the Buggy as part of a lot years ago so not sure how that engine got on this chassis or if it was ever run this way.

It is an onroad engine and there are more differences than only a head. I know people running an onroad engine in a buggy, it will work but do not go to high with the pinion.
