Status: offline 		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!!

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 original engine is the same CC as the new engine?

The correct muffler combo makes a huge difference in performance.

Status: offline 		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.
