Steel Vs Alu Engine

Recommended Posts

mmt

Hi guys,

 

How / how much is the difference in the handeling when going from the lighter Mi16 alu engine to te 25 kg heavier steel Mi16 engine.

 

I´m not talking about everyday from a to b traveling but handeling on a track. Will the heavier steel engine destroy the balance or will I be able to tune the suspension to cope with the extra weight?

 

Anyone withe experience?

 

Thanks

It's been covered pretty extensively before but although the 205 will hardly benefit from the extra weight up front, it won't ruin the handling by any means.

rallying on a tarmac stage the alu block is a nicer car, havin tried both engines in 2 different cars, maybe stiffer springs would have made it turn in better?
