I feel dumb as a brick asking, but. Are there any drop in replacements for the "Corsa" engine Cen runs in the Genesis, and its relatives?

Preferably with pullstart, and of course, a bit more "go" isn't a bad thing.

If i cant find anything reasonable I'll grab a crank-case & shaft of ebay, and see if i cant get some more rpm's out of the engine with a bit of grinding.

Guess the question wasn't as dumb as i thought. Nobody knows of a drop in replacement, good, or bad?

Probably the MGT 8.0 engine. Don't know if it's much better or not though. The only engines in that range (huge.) that I am aware of are the; Thunder Tiger
pro-70BX, Thunder Tiger Pro-50BK, MGT 8.0, Hot Bodies .46, and the 7.7 GST engine.

Thunder Tiger pro-70 BX will offer you massive amounts of torque, but I doubt it will give you a better rpm range. Probably worse.


To get better RPM's, hp and torque, you'll need to go to a lower displacement, such as the Picco .28, LRP .28, HPI 5.9 Nitro Star, RB TM 928, maybe even STS .28 or .30.

Just depends on your price range.

Three Thunder Tiger engines, with very none inflated rpm and HP numbers, the Hot Bodies .46 i cant find a make of, and they all doesn't really look that much different from the stock CEN engine. Guess i'll pick up a crankcase& shaft and see what i can do to it.
(Thunder Tiger pro-70BX could be fun tho, a 12cc engine in a truck?!? But i think the footprint is simply to large.)

Thank you for your time and effort.

The .70 engine rips the car it came in apart. Pretty much unusable. The GST is much sturdier, so it could handle it. It's ridiculously big though. I'm guessing some mods would be required, but with a drill and the stock Thunder Tiger .70 mount you'd be good to go.

You should test the MGT 8.0. It's slightly larger, so I'm not sure if you can drop it right in though.
