Engine reviews...?
 
I want some information on a FEW engines that seem to be in the top class right now(among a few others). I don't want to know which is best...since for each one of us this question might have a hundred answers.
I need info on there:

1. powerband (low,mid,high)
2. runtime
3. quality (reliability)

A review from those who owned one or more of these engines would be much appreciated.

Engines:
1. O.S. V-spec Speed
2. RB C6BB
3. Sirio EVO 3 STI
4. Picco EVO 2

I run an EBmods V-spec with an 063 Ofna pipe indoors it has a ton of low end in this setup,and I get 10 min. run times or some times more I have a digital egg timer on my radio when I race and I have seen it go 12 min.
I only have 6 gallons on this motor and it is still strong so I would say it is of good quality.

Yes i know about the v-spec i own one and a vz-r.
I'm looking into adding one more engine in my "team".

I have never seen a bad review on the C6BB. This personally is most likely to be my next engine. I dont know much about the others so I cant comment on them but I'm sure they are all pretty good as they are top spec engines.

from the list I would buy the RB C6. The best one on the list IMO. Runtime on the C6 seems dicey. Some say they get up to 8min but RB's are not known for their fuel efficiency. If you dont get the runtime they'll say youve got the wrong pipe etc etc.
OS Speed well you know. Personally OS sucks. Not for me.
Sirio and Picco cannot say.

If you have the money go for Novarossi 21-5 or 21-7. IMO thats the best. If you can get it modded even better.
