New Engine.... soon
Hi everyone, I'm currently looking for a new engine for my Rusty, and I like the OS .18 CV-R. Is it possible that it has more or less power than that claimed of OS? Will I notice higher sppeds, or more torque and low end? Also, what mods will I need for it? Thanks in advance.

you'll need a new exhaust manifold, and you'll need to get the clutchnut for a pro 15 (i have one)
oh, and you also need to be prepared to spend a buttload of money on new rubber

OS has always been very conservative on their HP. The.18 CV-R is rated at 1.35 HP but when on a dyno it was making 1.6 HP. The .18 TZ is rated at 1.8 HP and when put on a dyno it was putting out all most 2.3HP. OS has always under rated there engines and most others over rate them.
OS engines are very easy to tune, hold a tune and taken care of properly are very durable. I sure like mine.

I wanted a second opinion, like the head gasket thing you were talking about? You weren't right about that, so, wel you know, I needed another opinion.
