An interesting alternative is the Novarossi NS12TS1 (2008) or the N12T1 (2009).
These engines are less expensive but fast enough. The fuel consumption is very low - you should reach 6 to 6:15 minutes while the 353 must be refueled after 4:45 and 5:00.
We did test on a (faster) racetrack. With a 353 comparable Nova engine the best lap was a 14.0 and with the NS12TS1 a 14.2 sec (on a NT1).
Perhaps this help you to find the right engine.
Hi Hamfri,
Thank you for that extra info !
Do you drive the NS12TS1 ot N12T1 with the 2630 exhaust as well as an ideal combination ?
And if i buy the 353 race 09 with 2630, what manifold is best, the 5 fins or 6 fins please ?
Greetings,
Christoph
