Default buying new engine need help

hey guys i just purchased a sirio s12 ts5 evo3 engine for my car which is a hoboa gpx4. I was just wondering if the pullstart from my original engine will fit on this new one aswell as with the manifold and exhaust pipe, or do i need a new one?
Cheers!!

I would imagine the exhaust will fit fine..not so sure about the pullstart though..it may/it may not.
If the engine is on the way to you then it is just a matter of time before you can clarify whether they fit.

The exhaust can affect the performance greatly....but of course if the exhaust you have is "near enough" to ideal then you have less to worry about.
The original engine is the same CC as the new engine?

Try to get the Sirio exhaust header/pipe they suggest for it.
The correct muffler combo makes a huge difference in performance.

If you have bought a new engine then it will come with a glow plug and a manual to suggest what plug to use.
If it has turbo type plugs then only use turbo plugs.
The Sirio site is here http://www.micromotori.com/ but I do not see your engine listed.
Here is an OS plug chart http://www.osengines.com/accys/glowplugs.html that will give you some guide.

Yep, contact Sirio or their hobby shop dealers, they'll know all about the engine.
