What Nova/Top engine is this?
 
ok thinking of buying this motor of a mate. Not sure on what model it is, all i know is it has awesome top end.

Its fairly new, only 6 or so tanks through it.

Anyway heres some pics, if someone can give me a model name that would be great, this is all i have at the moment unfortunately

no nothing on the head. No markings anywhere other than the TOP on the side. Was thinkin of putting it in a buggy, but if its a onroad motor it will more than likely be to gutless down low :(

if they are selling it at a good price, go for it. other wise get a real buggy engine.

ive allready got a few good motors, RB C6BB, Gotech 21 5 port etc, i wanted to pick this up as a spare, its only 120 shipped AUD, so with currect exchange rate like 60USD LOL.

Ive allready said im gonna buy it, for that price if its not what i expected can always put it in my BB jato or sell it for brake even hehe.

A boost chamber or something like that (cant exactly remember the correct term for it, dont see those too much anymore).
