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.

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

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.

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
