Merlin Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Fantastic lump, easy to tune, more power than the K4.6, and for the price, you can't grumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanluke Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 thats a claimed horsepower. usualy way over raed than it actualy is. i guess the sts would be around the 3hp mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Aye, more often than not the HP claims are well over rated, still its a cracking engine and will smoke most others out there, and for the money, well well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Aye, more often than not the HP claims are well over rated, still its a cracking engine and will smoke most others out there, and for the money, well well worth it SOLD lol, i reckon a realistic figure will be around 3hp, must get one for my future sav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Unbeliveable I know, especially since I've spent another £100 on getting extra stuff to go with the engine that I can't even use now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 So are you still getting the engine Ben? whats happening with it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I wish I knew. The guy tells me it's coming but it's been nearly a month now, I've seen on his E-Bay account that most customers are getting thier deliveries in about 8 days.

davewilkinson Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 hope mines not the same.... only bin waiting about 3 - 4 days.... Got it run in yet samari? give us a shout n tell me whats it like Are they a pain in the ass to run in? mine went like a breeze...... just loosen the glow plug as it has crazy compression, do a load of heat cycles and then some figure of eights blipping the throttle ect...pretty standard stuff.. was speaking to somone who works for sts on a different forum....dino.tw i think....... he advised engine is not ready to start tuning until you take the glow plug of and pull the pull start and you get little or no pinch at TDC...... well that took me almost 2.5 litres to get there!
