So tg
Hi mate,
We run this engine in a control class here.
It is not a high power engine its a good beginner class engine.
It does fit in the Mugen however it's crank sits 1mm higher then other engine.
This means it hits the carbon engine brace, I just put some washers under it and it's fine, it also mean the flywheel is a bit harder to reach if your stater box has a big wheel.
The std. Mugen clutch spring is also to heavy for this engine. I use a team magic blue spring it's much softer. Also the 2 speed springs can be replaced with lighter ones too. But the std. Ones do work.
I think this engine only revs to about 30k rpm other pro tourer engine rev over 42rpm.
Hope this helps..
If your are competing in pro tourer this is not a competitive engine.

First I would check is if everything is as it should be. So nothing binding, everything same length, no tweak etc.
Reason I'm suggesting this is because the kit setup is quite a safe and understeering setup. For me it didn't had any steering at all.
If you want to reduce the mid-corner and on-throttle steering I would suggest trying the following:
-Lowering rear rollcentre
-Softer rear ARB
-Thinner oil in rear shocks

What are you guys using for springs and oils in the rear?

Tech Regular
The laptimes are on al tracks between 0 and 0.2s. slower compared with free engines...Go figure...
Shawn, do you have youtube movies of your spec class with the OS engines, would love to see the engine running in a race.

We drive the Novarossi N12T1 engine, now called the Sturm, for the last 3 years in the Netherlands, great Stock spec class..!!

Hey fellas just tried a few new parts for the sedan....spool up front...new soft roll bars...1.6 front....1.4 rear....new rear bulks for the longer camber arm....we run on a low to mid grip track an the new soft set up is money...th's spool up front pulls th's Car like crazy an believe it or not the Car turns on a dime...it has stupid steering for those tight tracks....longer camber links in rear Car roration is on point...I'm still playing wit all the new stuff an will post My finding...go MugenSeiki!!

Nitro...depends on the track grip...we r on low to medium...I'm finding the spool works well wit My soft set up...still have good steering...spool front an 80k rear works...500 oils in shocks...blacks on front an purple on rear...I have soft sway bars also...1.6 in front an 1.4 rear....rear is planted an the Car has good steering ...but it depends on the track big-time...more grip...harder the set up...

I use the black springs all around. The standard silver springs are a bit too hard for the amount of traction available at the tracks I race at.
Last year I ran two shock setups:
-Front, 500cst (Capricorn) with 2x1,2mm pistons
-Rear, 650cst (Capricorn) with 2x1,2mm pistons
This gave the car a nice balance and worked well when it was a bit warmer and good traction.
Later in the year it was colder and traction lower I ran 3x1,0mm pistons with 500cst oil all around.
The standard damping is way too hard if you ask me, makes the car too slow in transitions.

MTX-6 Set Up Low to Mid Grip
Going to run the car for the first time in a few weeks on a track that never gets enough cars or prep for high grip. Recommendations on a starting set up. Probably running 35ft / 37r for tires due to wear issues. Not sure how much practice time we will have
Point me towards a set up sheet would be OUT STANDING ......
Thanks
