Dude , get a Nova Rossi S3, for a start, then puta turbo head on it, when your skills are faster than the car, then update the pipe. It will smoke. I have this set up in my mtx 3. Reliable and fast!! If you want to go real fast, get a Nova Rossi JP version of this engine, it will win you racecs, if your skills and preparation are good. Spend the cash, youll be rewarded!! There is only way to go.
Good luck. the mtx rocks

S3's are a ***** to tune. If I had the money, I'd just get a rody modified engine.

And that's coming from someone who loves his S3. Imagine what most people think, lol.

I'll second that motion. i was a novarossi guy for a long time. until recently i built an MTX-3. i decided to get an RB v15 5port turbo(thanks nitro). what an engine! this thing hauls like there is no tomorrow. i am going to replace my NOVAMEGA sx12 5 pt MS on my R-40 with RB v12 5pt Rody tonight. sometime next month will b a C5 on my MRX-3. i am pretty lucky so far. My suggestion? no brainer ha!

NITROADDICT,
what RB engine do you use on sanction races?

Itchy - the engine sells for about 330.00 - It will blow the doors off an MR12.

Nitro,
I can get it a little lower. I paid $360 for v15 5 port and $340 for Rody v12 5pt.
i will check the 3port tonight.
