I am hoping to get a new buggy come winter Xray EC and the new STS D21T MKII to go in it this winter if things work out. Hope to get a new radio as well which is number 1.

What is the difference in performance between this and the old 21T? What are the manufacturing differences?

Right now I do not own any of the T models but guessing I would think it has to do with the ports. It has the same bore and stroke and is still 5 port.

I talked to many who own the T and the only gripe I ever heard was bottom end. Now I have no idea what pipes and what setups most where using. I just sent an email to Mark asking if he had any other information. I do know he sent one to Rick Brake as RBmods to check out before he started stocking them.

OK guys this is what I was told
All new engines will have the new red head. The MKII has improved low end respond. New designed sleeve and piston. All engines come with one standard head button and one turbo head button. 7mm & 8mm Plastic Ventures included in the new packaging.

So this explains the small price increase. I was wrong as the one he sent Rick Brake at RBmods just got to him today. He only has 3 of these in stock right now and they are all sold. He will be getting more shortly.

Review from Rick Brake of RBmods.net :

History and the making of a new STS MK11 engine. When testing the D21B and D21T engines my preliminary diagnosis led me to study these engines in depth and have my drivers testing them.

Everything I thought the engine would do was correct, These were great engines for the price but I thought STS could do a little better with the same amount of
effort. So after a few emails and sending them pictures on what to do
if I were them they came out with a engine after my own spec's. They actually
produced a great engine that would give these 400.00 and 500.00 dollar
engines a run for their money. This was dubbed STS MK11. My drivers have
been testing it and found that it was able to keep up and even surpass
these high dollar Italian engine with the grace of a expensive .21 5 to 8 port
engines and get about 9 minutes of run time doing it.

As I watched the testing this engine had taken a buggy and was pulling wheelies up to 75ft down the straights with a crisp sound that I and you and everyone else
likes to hear at 202 degree temps. I had thought that it was time STS release
these to the market to compete against the ever soaring over priced
Italian engines.

Finally! You to can have this engine and feel the bliss of knowing you got way
more then you paid for and probably for the first time. These engines are
worth every penny. Modified they are off the hook, Smooth, powerful, reliable.
