i have a stock s25. and want an engine with some more acceleration and top speed ect. iv been looking at the k4.6 and also the picco 2.7
just wondered if anyone could give me some more info on the engines good and bad points of both. and what would i need to change to cope with the extra power.

thanks

Many people like the STS.28. Lots of power, backflips from a stand still I've heard. You'll want to beef up tranny, diffs, and drivline. I have one just not broken in yet. Smile

could u just fit the k 4.6 or the sts straight on? or do u need a special engine mount?

I recently got the OS 30vg, and so far its insane wheel stands almost on command and it will idle all day long. However you will definetly need to up grade your diffs and possiblely other parts of the drivetrain. Because mines only just run in and I had a larger then stock motor in previous to the OS I have already got a steel spur gear, 4 diff gear upgrade for front and rear as well as alluminium diff cases front and rear. So far so good although I havent jumped it yet. But your goin to want to upgrade the spur gear and the diff gears no matter what engine you choose. The reason why I went the OS 30 is becuase its OS quality so its made to last and run reliably, plenty of power and its not expensive at all even compared to the 21 OS's

For a look at a Picco 27 in action go to:

My buddy Shakey McPeters took the vid last week at local park.
Nice power but hard to tune right with the Savage fuel system.

p.s. large video! broadband recommended
