What is the best variator to pair with zx transmission

[wwolvert]

Trying to get more acceleration out of my af16 I ordered a zx transmission next I'm going to get a variator and could use some input on the best options
Thanks

Polini for ruckus is bigger than the Polini for Dio and it will work better for the zx set up. Need a zx belt and some mods to the belt cavity for clearance. Search zx trans! or look it up in the wiki-spreedia

Yeah I have been doing research today I think I'm going to go with the ruckus polini variator and I'm aware I will need to remove some material I guess I'll will find out every thing I will need to do once I get the trans

Like they said, from what I've read, the larger Polini for Ruck seems be a good option for the ZX setup. What kind of Clutch setup are you using? I noticed a huge improvement with accel when I installed the Polini Clutch with some stronger springs in it. Really let the engine get into the power before engaging and taking off. I'm on the standard S trans though.

I have a prodigy power clutch on it right now but I plan on replacing it with a polini 3 shoe clutch.

Greetings;

The much-bigger ZX rear pulley needs as much front pulley diameter as possible to reach top speed. The Polini-for-Ruckus is 95mm, not bad. But I found a random "Brand X" front variator that was 97mm. I'm still not sure whether or not it was a Malossi product, but it was pretty good in the low-end and midrange as well as letting my unported Corsa F 3.26 see the high side of 71 MPH. Someone with a Malossi Ruck variator can confirm if that item is indeed 97mm.

Ok so I changed my mind I'm going to get a malossi multiVar and a Phongeer drive face.
Now I need to know if polini rollers will work in the malossi variator I want to get a kit of rollers since I have never tuned a variator befor and I won't get it on the first try.

Greetings:

Yes only the size of the rollers matters, not the brand. I have used Malossi roller weights in Polini varios and vice-versa. For whatever it's worth, the Malossi rollers seem the most durable though not by a lot. Italian stuff in general seems to last longest.

I got my malossi ruckus variator today and it is indeed 97 mm thanks wheel man for all your help
