WTB Novarossi Conversion

[Baxter Walton]

Boat coming this weekend, race next month, need to get working, I am going to buy the 35+ Motor or the 7port, both the same as far as conversion I'm guessing.

Be careful. There are a lot of different versions as far as crank timing and sizes out there. I would speak with Mark Leyde, "lights" on IW, about what to look for. I think he has more coming later this year but that wont help you now, but neither will the wrong kit. Let me know if you have success as this is the route I am leaning as well.

Baxter, It depends on what 35+ that you buy. Some have a 14.5mm crank some have the 14.0mm crank.

There are MANY more 14mm conversion sets out there and much fewer 14.5mm sets. Think about getting parts in the future. You will have greater luck with the 14mm ones.

I will not be making anymore 14.5mm NR OB cranks. Get a 14mm one if you want a OB crank, And parts in the future Baxter.

Another bonus if you go with the 14 is that you do not have to buy the $65 large bearing. That does not include the small bearing. Crazy pricing on a bearing specificallty built for that motor.

Mike, I don't remember the exact price on the big bearing for the 14.5 mm cranks (I'm at work right now), but it is not close to $65! It is only a couple of dollars more than the 14mm bearings. Now the car guys may charge that much, but not me.

Check with Aaron Alberico to see where he got his 35+ conversion parts.

 

[Baxter Walton]

Does he have the 14mm crank or the 14.5mm?

 

[LarryConrad]

I would be willing to bet Aaron's is the real deal with a 14.5 mm crank but you would have to ask him. Aaron is the Nova distributor in Australia.

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Yes Aaron is running the 14.5 and I think he got the conversion from Lights. I do not know of any other 14.5 mm conversions ever made.

I guess he was using a 14mm crank...I stand corrected.

Well thats is good to know.

[Kris Flynn]

geeeze the 14mm crank goes hard enough guys ...in the videos of Aarons motor on my boat it is only a 14mm Lights conversion....

 

[Baxter Walton]

As for me in racing I leave no stone unturned lol

Yeah Mike, I just got home and checked my price on them, they are $37.

Now the ceramic 14.5 bearings...that is ANOTHER story! Crazy!
