Rossi Engines Thread
 

Well every other engine gets a thread, and I'm lookin for info on the Rossi engines. Anyone have feedback on them?

one of my coworker has one in his NTC3. Looks fast but dunno if its faster than the Novarossi engines.

Are they designed for on or off road use more?

they are onroad engines

Cool, I basically am interested in them because the engine head isn't purple, lol. But do they perform as well as the rest?

i have one but too bad i havent had chance to run it after i ran in the engine. this engine is nicely made but it doesnt mean it performs. i want to know how it goes too ! :blush:

Remove it from the engine and make it sandblasted... looks cool!

When do you think you'll be able to get it on a track and see the performance of it? I do like the aluminum carb, had problems with the plastic ones.

no idea yet, too many engines on the Q ! :ha: :ha:

Well send it out to me, and I'll let you know how your new engine works :lol:

Anyone else using them at your track?

rossi is not popular here so i have no idea who is using it.

i am currently running my D5, S3 and NS5 they are equally fast !

Well if you are interested in selling the Rossi, I'd propably be interested. Sounds like you got a bundle of engines. BTW, is it the 3 or 5 port?

it is a 3 port pixy but it does carry some problem which i am trying to fixing it now ! :cry: :cry:

Aah, I am lookin for the 5 port, try to get a little more power out of it... One thing I noticed is that they use a standard plug, is the button replaceable so that I could run a turbo plug?

yes they have optional turbo button but i still cannot get one 1 year from now ! :ha: :ha:

Would it be the same as Novarossi?

no, they are of different size !

Alright, I kinda thought that Rossi and Novarossi were made by the same people...

they are brothers

Two brothers, each running his own company!!!

:nod: :nod: I believe maker of Sirio engines is some what related to them too.. :) The only odd italian out is Picco:lol: :lol: Hmm.. wondered who would start the picco thread.....:)

Hmm, that's pretty cool, I figured the companies had to be somewhat related... Wonder why they didn't just team up and make the baddest engine ever, lol.

Money man...:nod: Everybody wants a piece of their own cake and not share it ! :lol:

And also for the recognition...:) Oh, you are Awake already, Prof D.....:lol: :lol:

I guess, but as them bieng the rossi brothers, they would get the recognition...

Money is another thing though.

They don't get along...

Rossi brothers are Cesare (NOVA) and Ugo (Rossi). Andrea Rossi(Sirio) is not related. Rossi last name is very popular in Italy. He was the owner of Arrows tires.

Nothin like brotherly love :lol:

oh yeah, Rossi is very common.

I have a name card of a guy called Michael Angelo when I took a trip to italy few years ago. He told me his name is very common too !!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

:lol: :lol: I do enjoy Angelo's master piece! so unique and one of a kind!

Let me tell you. I just put a Rossi Black Pixi in my NTC3 and it is wicked fast.It is an awesome engine.

I have a standard glow plug 3 port black pixi .Can i buy a turbo head for it?


Mark

That's the feedback I was looking for :)

O yeah!!!!!! I flat smoked a Sirio 15 outlaw 5 port.It made me feel so good...

Is this on the racetrack?

Parking lot racing.And we both run NTC3's.

cool, was it straight line, or on a parking lot track?

We run both.I have been into nitro for 13 years and I have never seen a engine turn the rpm's my Rossi turns.It makes me want a 5 port now.The top end is simply awesome...Let me add I bought it used for $125.Was that a good deal?But I'm getting another NTC3 and put my brand new Sirio AAC 5 port in it.I want to see how strong it is compared to the Rossi.

That's cool, I was hoping it would be strong on the track, straight line speed doesn't matter too much to me, I usually lock out 2'nd gear anyway.

I don't think so
