If you're going to get another engine for your rs4 rtr3, I would go with something other than the 12rss. The 12rss is a good motor, but you could get a better deal buying a O.S. 15 cvx. I have the O.S. 15 cvx, on my rs4 typess. It has more power than the 12rss. The only modifying you have to do is shaving the corner on the pullstart. If you don't it gets in the way of the radio tray.

The pro team has a setup with a novarossi MR12. This is going to require more modifications (you need a new clutch, you have to convert to a rear exhaust, etc.) but the setup looks pretty cool. I'm thinking about doing something like that real soon.

Another company I would look at is the RB Concepts. I have friends who have their .12 size and .21 size motors and they're fast!

team orion turbo , os turbo head , or mugen mr12 would be a nice engine ... all are .12 size
