There's two ways I know to do this.

First uses a Buildcraft 3 (Not in Tekkit ATM) logic gate. Attatch it to a pipe next to the engine. Set it to engine on - redstone signal.

Alternatively, make the engines power a wooden pipe which pulls an item out of a chest into another chest. Put a regulator on the chest and put one ex. cobblestone in the right inventory. It will emit a redstone signal when there is an item in it. You could also make a redstone pipe power a toggle latch or the same with an item detector. There's probably even more ways to do this.
