Im looking to upgrade the variator on a 157QMJ.
I hear of a larger diameter disk being 117mm, that's quite a jump from the factory 108mm size.
There's so many versions on the market.
What's really worth the money?

What's really worth the money? The 117mm from gy6racingteam is suppose to be a very good variator. I was going to buy that one but ended up buying the k&s 115mm. The 117mm is a black variator and I really would like to try one. Check out the thread on variators . I'll post the thread in a min. |

I saw that black 117mm disk but saw no reviews on it yet.
Didn't know gy6racingteam was slinging it themselves.
Think I may just try it on this build, I've had no problems dealing with them on other engine stacks. The P.R. packing newspaper is cool to look through too.
Thanks for the links peeps.

I've only noticed one 117mm drive face being sold . not sure if you have seen others or not |

Well UPDATE :
The Black Max 117mm Variator was WELL worth the money on the top end.
The engine was stock except for installing stainless steel valves.
We did add a new Belt as well.
It would float at 60mph like a magic carpet....a little too fast actually.
Like comming back in to the atmosphear from space...that maybe the wheel bearings + tires needing a little attention.
The take off was a little slower but over all an excellent upgrade.
You must consider though the vey small clearance between the edge of the variator and CVT housing.
Any crank bearing play will result in the disk colliding with the case....It's tight

It says in the description it fits the 139qmb as well, does that mean you can put this variator on a 50cc and a 150cc? |
