Franco Morini engines selection

[Abysmo]

Hi to everyone from Russia!

I'm planning to install Franco Morini engine on my Merida TFS bike with 22'' frame. Franco Morine produces 2 types of engines I'm particular iterested in - S6-T and S6-S. But I do not know what type to select for my project. S6-S is more powerfull, but I double that it is TOO POWERFULL.

What could you suggest? My weight is 110 kilos

Best regards, Alex.

Welcome Alex to the forum, glad you joined us.

There is several members with Morini's, they can answer your question better then I can. Hopefully they will jump in and give you some advice.

I 2nd that! I to would like to get some information from someone who has actually installed one. I am seriously considering one for my next build. Can't decide whether I want to spend the extra $$ for the 5.7 H.P. model, or just get the 3 H.P.

I might be able to answer a few of your questions. If you plan on making a quiet reliable MB, the 3 hp is the way to go. It's the same motor used on the 50cc KTM dirt bikes. A buddy of mine has one and it's quite powerful but the DB levels are lower because of its cast iron cylinder. The 5.8 or higher motors are pretty fun to have. They are a little bit louder especially when it gets on the pipe. Also you can upgrade it to a 9 HP motor. But the bottom line is both motors will last you a long time.
Good luck on your decision.

Anyone know where I can find the dimension specs of the Morini's...?
I'm getting the itch to build a chopper with a little more thrill in the horsepower dept. =-]'

Hey Brett try this Franco Morini KickButt Engines

 

[TerrontheSnake]

Not sure what you'll find here but this is where I'm buying my next engine.

 

[BrettMavriK]

Yeah saw that,
There are no dimensions of the motor;
even in the morini pdf files.....

I really just need the overall width, like sideways, as to what would fit in between
the pedals more than anything.

What Pipelyne does is use 135-140mm cranks and use the widest crank bearing assembly. FYI Pipelyne is around 15% cheaper.

 

[BrettMavriK]

So what's the width & height of that puppy off hand?
Are there differences between the "T" and the "S" models?
I think I'm going to get one eventually and put it in one of my choppers.

Thank you, Emerica.

I guess I didn't look in the right place.
I will bookmark it now.

Hey, this is doable in one of my bobber frames...!

 

[Emerica]

Those measurements are in mm?

"T" stands for trainer, "S" for sport. It's wide enough that I had to use 1" pedal extenders to get proper clearance. The crank arms clear the motor vertically by less than an inch. I have a S6S 9.4 mounted in a 19" frame. BTW, the "T" is 5.8 hp and has a 2 shoe clutch as opposed to a 3 shoe clutch on the S6S among other things.

looks very roughly like 8" wide, 12" tall, 12" long

anyone confirm that ?

thanks,
steve
