Sirio .15 w/ Slide Carb...
OK, I know in the US they only sell this engine with a rotary carb, but some sights I've seen have a SG crank, slide carb configuration. I wonder if anyone knows a shop oversees that has one and how much it would run.
Come to think of it, I also saw a NovaRossi T5S1 for $170. I'm planning on running the engine in the open class, so I want something that runs well and will hang with most of the big boys without going over $200. Would that be a better bet than that .15 Sirio? And if anyone has one, is it that much difference in the Sirio .12 and .15?

Don 't ask...
Actually, I may drop it in ly LD3 and play around with that from time to time. I plan on either getting the LD3 Pro, an R40 or G4 for next season, I haven't really decided. For that kit, I will probably go legal. But for the RTR, it's all about fun. Then again, a modded Murnam Sirio runs around $230, which isn't bad...

Top gun: Alot of those sirrios conrod bushing were reamed egg shaped, this also contributes to the conrod stretch and break. Also the crank counter weight also needs alot of attention. Theres alot of room for massaging those black head engines. The newer Blue engines head engines had much better machining. Sorry I don't remember the diff model # from blue and black head. I have Smeltz Black head 3 port it has 2 gallon of 30 percent nitro with 8 % oil ran threw it and it shows little crankpin wear . The pin problem was a concern to me when I was talking with Matt at Smeltz Racing and he insured me that after crank work and a good (non egg shaped) connecting rod, I would not see any broken rod. So far I have to agree with him. He says the Blue sirrios are much better.
I really like the Smeltz Sirrio, it has more mid range torque than any other engine I have tried, and I've tried almost all of them.

Doh!
bummer I heard this was a problem but with piston explosions. I hope serio gets it together they have a pretty good grip. I know Josh C was worried about this before the worlds big time. They make a nice piece with regards to power. Nova had some soft cranks a while ago. 4 qualifiers and toast.

Hmm Dennis, never seen piston explosion with them before, always rod and crank breaks. Notice, I said midrange power with Matts stuff! You and Mugen MT's has the top end power!!!!! No doubt!
Hope all is well! BB

Was'nt speaking of your rods, nor was I necessarailly meaning Sirrio rods were reamed. Be it reamed or machined on a lathe for somereason they were off. Don't know how they produce mass pieces from the factory. So your saying the counter weight on the sittio crank is ok,? not wrong? I did dis assy. my engine before shipping for modding and noticed with out pision and rod on engine it would only spin 1 1/2 revs in block by hand. After getting it back, it turned 8 to 12 revs by hand. I had also checked brg alignment before modding. So balance is there somewhere right? I would think offset on crank wrong would also cause the rod failure I see here. ? I'm not hacking just trying to understand. I'm a diesel engine builder by trade and have been for over 25 years. I also have access to a few different sized Rockford Hardness testers. What #'s I'm I looking for if I was to check cranks for hardness. I'm sure all engine mani. let a few bad batches of cranks out, I'm sure theres a limit, to, what will go and what will blow.
