How fast the OS .18 CV-RX go on a touring car with a single speed transmission. Will it have good torque or top speed?

what car is it? But it will go pretty darn fast with new gearing and a 2 speed. It is going to be a torque monster also, so get ready for torque related problems. BTW you cant go wrong with o.s. reliability

I have one installed in my RS4 3 but have the 2 speed tranny...It whoops up great speed but you do have to upgrade and beef up the car to keep all that power.

Which is better on the drive line .. a .12 wasp @ 1.2 hp or a .18 cv-r @ 1.35 hp?

i'm guessing the wasp because the tourque isn't as much as the .18 and there isn't as much horse power but what you lose with horse power you gain back in the high rpm's of .12 engines.

I like my wasp .12. Has good power but is very tuning sensitive.

Does anyone know where to find test reports on the OS .18 CV-RX???

i forget who did a dyno on it but it makes 1.6HP and RCCa revved it up to 39k in a tmax

I remember it was something like that. That's why I bought that engine (and of course that extreme low price on tower). Still waiting for it to arrive []

at os engines.com they say it only gets 1.35 hp at 28,000 rpm's. or does it realy make 1.6hp.

OS is famous for underrating it's engines. Normally they do quite a bit more then they tell you. I still have my doubts about the 39k though..... If that would be real it would get my 1:8 (big wheels = big speed) go absolutely ballistic [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
